I don't think that really helps all that much to explain the issue,
which is about SCSI not having an ahead of time flag that reliably
works for write same support, which makes it clear the limit to 0 on
the first I/O completion.  Maybe you can actually spell this out?
Please just tell me what you would like to see, and I will copy verbatim.

cheers
