But we're not doing ERL0 here (yet), just a LU Reset as triggered by sg_reset.

The target expects us to finish any outstanding R2T transaction even after a tmf response has been send. So we're busy transferring the outstanding data, when the tmf response is being processed with the eh thread. At one point the eh thread is suspending the connection; and if we're then in the middle of sending a data-out PDU, the target will drop the connection more-or-less immediately. And anyway, this would affect any running PDU transfer even for other (unaffected LUNs), so I fail to see the harm here. We should always transfer complete PDUs, as the PDU transfer started before the SUSPEND bit was set. And as such we can as well transfer the entire PDU ...
