    iSCSI: SCSI Response Hdr - Sense Data Length



    A question concerning the iSCSI - SCSI Response headers (op-0x21).  When the
    target sends it with a DataSegmentLength > 0, it must automatically include
    a two-byte sense data header preceding any response data.  This means all
    response data will be offset by this two byte header even if the
    sense-length is zero.  Why wasn't the sense data length put in the byte 20
    range of the response (currently marked reserved)?  This would've avoided
    the extra work for initiators to have to handle response data for this PDU
    type differently from the others.  Essentially, this forces another header
    handler on the initiator side for the two header bytes describing the sense
    data length.
