QT> Instead of using existing value within cmd->data_length, can we
calculated data_length based on secstors & blocksize.

cmd->data_length = sectors * dev->dev_attrib.block_size;


>From the QLogic perfective, the cmd->data_length is pull directly from the
wire (i.e. FCP header) when cmd is received.  In essence, it's whatever
the Initiator is set it to.  We does not have any indicator to spot DIF vs
none-DIF cmd when 1st received, unless the code do a peek.

With that said, the cmd->data_length does not guarantee to contain both
"data length" & "protection length" when cmd is submit to
TCM/target_submit_cmd().  In Dif-Insert mode, data_length will only
contain the actual data(no Dif).

It's best that the SBC code re-calculate the actual data length and dif
data length based on the number of sectors derived from the cmd.

Thanks.

back and re-patch this area. Will find some cycle to work on this soon.
