So target_core_fabric_ops->write_pending(), ->queue_data_in() and
->queue_status() currently check for a -EAGAIN return in order to signal
that QUEUE_FULL logic should kick in for the associated se_cmd
descriptor.
I think it's reasonable to also allow fabric modules to signal
QUEUE_FULL using -ENOMEM as well, so I'll go ahead and change this for
v3.2 w/ ib_srpt and will send out a patch shortly.
Also, I did notice one extra case in srpt_map_sg_to_ib_sge() ->
srpt_xfer_data() that returns -EBUSY, so i'll change this to -EAGAIN to
signal QUEUE_FULL as well.
Thanks for the feedback Bart!
