Good point !

Any particular sg_raw example in mind that can trigger this..?

Yes, this is the case for transport_generic_map_mem_to_cmd() consumers
(loopback + tcm_vhost) where we currently have to reject SCSI Overflow
cases because of exactly this type of scenario..

So is sending zero-length allocation lengths for control CDBs. ;)

Ok, if this is a genuine issue then please show how to trigger with
sg_raw, and let's plan on merging this as a -rc6 bugfix in order to
spend some more testing w/ scsi-testsuite across different backends over
the next week.

Thanks Paolo!
