    target: Make all control CDBs scatter-gather · 05d1c7c0
    Andy Grover authored
    Previously, some control CDBs did not allocate memory in pages for their
    data buffer, but just did a kmalloc. This patch makes all cdbs allocate
    pages.
    
    This has the benefit of streamlining some paths that had to behave
    differently when we used two allocation methods. The downside is that
    all accesses to the data buffer need to kmap it before use, and need to
    handle data in page-sized chunks if more than a page is needed for a given
    command's data buffer.
    
    Finally, note that cdbs with no data buffers are handled a little
    differently. Before, SCSI_NON_DATA_CDBs would not call get_mem at all
    (they'd be in the final else in transport_allocate_resources) but now
    these will make it into generic_get_mem, but just not allocate any
    buffers.
