Ok, I was just following what drivers/scsi/osd/osd_initiator.c:
_init_blk_request() current does.

Btw task->task_size is to set to (task->task_sectors * block_size) in
target_core_transport.c:transport_generic_get_cdb_count()

Hmmm, interesting point here..

Hmmm, so this patch currently assumes that BIDI-COMMAND WRITE and extra
READ payloads contain the same struct se_task->task_sg_num for both
struct se_task->task_sg[] and struct se_task->task_sg_bidi[].

If we need to assume that the internally allocated (LIO-Target iSCSI)
*or* pre-exiting SGL mapped T_TASK(cmd)->t_mem_list (TCM_Loop Virtual
SCSI LLD) and T_TASK(cmd)->t_mem_bidi_list memory can be mapped
differently, then an seperate second call to transport_calc_sg_num() in
order to determine a struct se_task->task_sg_bidi_num is required.

OK, I will go ahead and drop this item.
