[ Upstream commit0b089c1ef7] Currently we allocate rx buffers in a single contiguous buffers for headers (iser and iscsi) and data trailer. This means that most likely the data starting offset is aligned to 76 bytes (size of both headers). This worked fine for years, but at some point this broke, resulting in data corruptions in isert when a command comes with immediate data and the underlying backend device assumes 512 bytes buffer alignment. We assume a hard-requirement for all direct I/O buffers to be 512 bytes aligned. To fix this, we should avoid passing unaligned buffers for I/O. Instead, we allocate our recv buffers with some extra space such that we can have the data portion align to 512 byte boundary. This also means that we cannot reference headers or data using structure but rather accessors (as they may move based on alignment). Also, get rid of the wrong __packed annotation from iser_rx_desc as this has only harmful effects (not aligned to anything). This affects the rx descriptors for iscsi login and data plane.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
