Hi, I had posted this bug. Even I do not exactly know the complete ins and outs
of the iSCSI restrictions imposed (if any), but this I am sure that for
SCSI_COMMANDs, the "expected data length" supports both zero and non-zero
values. If required by you, I could share a couple captures indicating the
same.
