Actually, this behavior has been the case even before the __blk_end_request()
changes. I did test plain 2.6.24 with the following


--- linux-2.6/drivers/ide/ide-cd.c	2008-01-31 22:18:59.000000000 +0100
+++ linux-2.6/drivers/ide/ide-cd.c-new	2008-01-31 22:18:50.000000000 +0100
@@ -1711,8 +1711,12 @@ static ide_startstop_t cdrom_newpc_intr(
 	/*
 	 * If DRQ is clear, the command has completed.
 	 */
-	if ((stat & DRQ_STAT) == 0)
+	if ((stat & DRQ_STAT) == 0) {
+		blk_dump_rq_flags(rq, "ide-cd: rq still having bio");
+		printk("backup: data_len=%u  bi_size=%u\n",
+				rq->data_len, rq->bio->bi_size);
 		goto end_request;
+	}
 
 	/*
 	 * check which way to transfer data


to see whether we've been getting residual byte counts:

Jan 31 22:10:06 gollum kernel: [   26.702877] ide-cd: rq still having bio: dev hdc: type=2, flags=114c8

Jan 31 22:10:06 gollum kernel: [   26.703877] backup: data_len=158  bi_size=158

... so we've been simply silently ignoring this until now so i guess we don't
need to BUG() for something that's totally benign.
