thx, mine is XT server adaptor. i will check if these parameters have 
influence on it.

yes, it doesn't set the TCP_NODELAY. I read the linux-iscsi code and try to 
add this sock->ops->setsockopt() in UNH code. But it always return EFAULT 
indicating a bad address. but i use a similar way to define arg = 1 as a 
local variable. i am not sure why i am wrong. and i check the 
inet_set_sockopt and tcp_setsock_opt, nowhere return a EFAULT.

can some one figure it out? thx.
