Borislav, there are actually two issues here to investigate: * seems like we need to check for rq->bio before calling ide_cd_error_cmd() to make the regression go away (IOW we shouldn't don't do partial "good" completions for !rq->bio requests) * potentially revise our strategy of handling GPCMD_READ_DISC_INFO packet command returning less data than requested (in this particular case we ask for 32 bytes, device gives us only 30 bytes but returns good status) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
