    iSCSI: AHS drop bit



    Julian,
    
    Section 3.2.2.1 says the following on the AHS drop bit - 
               bit 7 - Drop Bit - if set to 1 this AHS may be ignored if not
               understood; if set to 0 this AHS must be rejected if not
               understood.    
    
    - I suspect it is the entire command that was meant to be failed, not 
      just the AHS...
      
    - If it is a SCSI operation that is being failed, I suggest that 
      the target should end the command with an appropriate SCSI CHECK 
      CONDITION - so the command sequence window can advance at the 
      transport level (and the inability of the target to support say
      extended CDB is known end-to-end, to prevent fruitless SCSI retries).
    
    - This bit may be useful for AHS code "Non-iSCSI extensions", but
      I could not see how it can be used for the defined iSCSI operations.
      If it is indeed so, I would actually suggest dropping this feature.
    
    Regards.
