The Linux kernel iSCSI initiator pipelines multiple SCSI commands on
the same TCP connection (command queuing). When a write needs R2T for
data beyond the immediate portion, collectDataOut may read a pipelined
SCSI command instead of the expected Data-Out PDU.
Fix: queue non-Data-Out PDUs received during collectDataOut into a
pending buffer. The main dispatch loop drains pending PDUs before
reading from the connection. This correctly handles interleaved
commands during multi-PDU write transfers.
Bug found during WSL2 smoke test: mkfs.ext4 hangs at "Writing
superblocks" because inode table zeroing sends large writes that
exceed FirstBurstLength, triggering R2T while the kernel has already
queued the next command.
