The function to specify the read buffers is called
scsi_task_add_data_in_buffer, not scsi_task_add_data_buffer

It is not real zero-copy since the data is still copied in the kernel,
but it avoids copying the data inside libiscsi as well as in the callback.
For SCSI tasks that will return data from the target, the application can now
specify application buffers for libiscsi to read the data directly into.
This is done by calling scsi_task_add_data_in_buffer(task, ...
These buffers need not be linear, you can specify different areas to read into
by calling this function several times.
See examples/iscsiclient.c for an example.
Add a mechanism where residual overflow/underflow can be reportad back to
the application
We probably need somethinf for bidir residuals at some stage too
We dotn need two interfaces that only diuffer in whether they return a pointer or NULL vs an semiidentical interface that returns 0 or <0
All uses of _async() for scsi tasks should be replaced with the equivalent _task() function instead
These functions are also async functions for SCSI commands but they return
a task structure or NULL.
This task structure can be used in task management functions to abort the task or a whole task set.
are in flight at the moment.
Aside from commands, we also consider the "has not yet connected completely" as being an i/o.
When this command returns 0 it means we are connected ant the iscsi connection is idle, with no commands in flight.
KVM needs a function to detect idleness like this for its block layer io_flush
function.
LBA is uint32_t for read/write10
Also store the lba/numblocks arguments in the task structure for read10/write10
This makes it much easier to implement a fully async "read lots/write lots"
applications.
A Portal URL is of the form
iscsi://[<username>[%<password>]@]<host>[:<port>]
and is used by command such as iscsi-ls during the discovery login phase.
During discovery we do not yet know the target iqn name, nor the lun of
any devices.
Update the "send scsi command" fucntion to honour
"FirstBurstLength" so that we only send this many bytes as unsolicited data.
The wait for a train of R2T from the target to clock out additional
busrts of data until the full task data has been sent to the Target.
We should now honour, and handle the case of
ImmediateData=No
InitialR2T=No
correctly for targets that are limited on receiveing data too fast.
Update the send pdu command to trap when we need to send data to the target
but we are not allowed to send using immediate data.
For this case, send the data as a separate DATAOUT pdu instead.
Twiddle the flags and other fields to now manage that we send the data
as two separate PDUs.
