RE: iscsi : default iscsi mode page settings.

["Binford, Charles" <CBinford@pirus.com>]

I believe it is the transport's job to deliver the data.  Buffering
unsolicited data that has arrived at the target *before* the SCSI engine has
even had a chance to evaluate the CDB is part of the data delivery system -
the transport.

That is not my reading of the map. The unsolicited payload buffer size is a
"data sink" attribute. The data sink is the SCSI engine and not the iSCSI
layer.

Julian,

The FirstBurstSize is governing an iscsi parameter which is : "how much
un-solicited
data can the initiator send" ? I concur with Charles' suggestion that
FirstBurstSize be
moved to a login key.

By doing this, we can improve scan times, due to the elimination of the
mode
sense/select & avoid the side effects of shared mode pages. This allows
easier use of
un-solicited data.

Santosh
