pt->pscsi_cdb is that a static sized buffer? What do you do with larger
commands received on the iscsi wire. Are they dropped? If you did have
the full > 16 CDB in some buffer you could do:

+	pt->pscsi_req->cmd_len = scsi_command_size(pt->pscsi_cdb);

Hmmm this is going away from here soon I hope. Better copy past it into your
own code. Perhaps optimize to your needs.

Do you have this code on a gitweb somewhere. I'm to lazy to download everything
here?

One thing I can not see is where you get your "(struct scatterlist *)pt->pscsi_buf"
scatterlist from? is that from the network layer? don't you get them one by one
from the network layer and copy them to your own allocated scatterlist array?
Do you actually receive a network allocated scatterlist array? because if not
you should go directly to BIOs and drop that scatterlist stuff.

Also that void* SG/NON_SG type cast crap is not acceptable any more. We worked
very hard to clean all that up. You need to hold typed scatterlist pointer and if
you happen to have single kernel buffers for submission you hold an struct scatterlist
somewhere and do an sg_init_one() on the kernel buffer. For me this is preliminary to
even consider this code.
