    iSCSI : digest error handling violates EMDP/InDataOrder

    Where :
    =======
    
    Section 6.2 (pg 80). Digest Errors
    -----------------------------------
    "If the error is a Data-Digest-Error in a Data-PDU, the target MUST
    either request retransmission with a R2T or answer with a Reject iSCSI
    PDU and abort the task."
    
    Problem :
    ---------
    On a Data digest error detected by a target, it MUST NOT request
    re-transmission of the data PDU thru an R2T if the session login key
    InDataOrder is set to yes. The current rev 05 draft violates
    InDataOrder/EMDP settings by allowing a re-transmission of R2T by
    target.
    
    Scenario :
    ==========
    initiator			target
    ---------			------
    EMDP=0
    InDataOrder=YES
    (exp_off=0)
    	   offset=0,len=64k <------ R2T
    	
    --------> data PDUs
    (exp_off = 64K)
                                  data digest error results in
    			      an 8K PDU being dropped at offset 24K.
    
    	  offset=24K,len=8K  <------ R2T for missing PDU.
    
    exp_off != offset
