[SCSI] iscsi: nodelay fix

From: tomof@acm.org

I'm not sure about this. I don't think that NODELAY option hurts
performance. However, open-iscsi does not use MSG_MORE properly with
sendpage, so NODELAY option hurts the open-iscsi performance.

I've attached a patch to fix NODELAY and MSG_MORE problems and the
write performance results with disktest.

I use Opteron boxes connected directly, Chelsio NICs, 1500-byte MTU,
64 KB I/O size, and the iSCSI parameters on open-iscsi web site.

With only NODELAY fix, the performance drops, as you said. On the
other hand, NODELAY and MSG_MORE fixes improve the performance
overall.
