      I will modify and resend the patch.

>2. You are hardcoding dir, while it can be overwritten in srpt_get_desc_tbl().

      In the srpt_handle_cmd() function:
      &send_ioctx->cmd;
      srpt_get_desc_tbl(..., send_ioctx, ...) 
           ioctx->cmd.data_direction = *dir;

     Therefore, after successfully calling srpt_get_desc_tbl(), even if target_init_cmd() is
     passed DMA_NONE, cmd->data_direction should already have stored the actual direction.

     Do you mean  that after calling srpt_get_desc_tbl(), displaying the overwritten content
     would be better？I want to make sure I address the intent of your comment correctly.
