Re: Send Reject PDU when orignal to-be-rejected PDU is notavailable

But that only requires holding a Data-Out PDU header while the
corresponding data is in the RX pipe - once the data digest CRC
has been checked, the Data-Out PDU headers can be discarded -
they don't have to be held until the status is sent and acked.
 
Reject is primarily intended for errors that can be detected
on receipt of the PDU.
 
Thanks,

	David,
	 
	In some situations, for example, one or more DATA-OUT PDUs of a WRITE are CRC ERROR. If the implementation(just like mine) choose to use Pipeline fashion process in which TX and RX are seperated as two stages, then it seems we have no choice but to hold those CRC ERROR DATA-OUT PDU headers until the REJECTs sent out.  
	 
	As we do not know how many DATA-OUT PDU will become CRC ERROR in RX stage, so we choose to reserve all DATA-OUT PDU headers in the end. 
	
	
	Best Regards,
	Jason HU

		Jason,
		 
		The CmdSN window allows the target to control the resources consumed
		by commands.  I don't understand the need to save "all PDU header
		comes from the Initiator until corresponding statSN is explicitly
		ACKed".  What purpose is that accomplishing (e.g., why save all
		the iSCSI Data-Out PDU headers for a SCSI WRITE)?
		 
		In any case, the original PDU header is required for a Reject in order
		for the initiator to figure out what was rejected.  If the initiator
		cannot figure that out, it is going to have a very difficult time
		recovering from the Reject.
		 
		Thanks,

			Hi David,
			
			Thank you for the suggestion. A little more to consider is that it seems that whatever mechanisms we use, as a target, we must reserve all PDU header comes from Initiator until the coressponding statSN is explicitly acked. For a resource-limted iscsi target engine(all SCSI data is on host, so it is not in this question), It can be considered as a big memory consumer and becomes a bottlenack. 
			
			
			Best Regards,
			Jason

				The original PDU header has to be sent back so that the initiator
				knows what was rejected.  iSCSI has a number of mechanisms that
				can be used by the target to control resource consumption and
				those should be used to ensure that adequate resources are
				available to deal with the PDU that is to be rejected.
				 
				Thanks,

					Dears,
					

					I am curently implement iscsi target on a resource-limted device. In my implementation, orignal to-be-rejected PDU is not available when it realised that a Reject should be sent to initiator.
					 
					But as RFC3720 said, Target must send back the orignal PDU as the Reject's payload. 
					 
					So my question is: Why we need to send back the orignal PDU ? Can we simply eliminate it?
					 
					Thanks!
					

					Best Regards,

					Jason
