YMMV. Hello Dave, That makes sense to me. Do you think the (untested) patch below could be a valid alternative to the above proposal ? --- drivers/scsi/scsi_lib.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/scsi/scsi_lib.c b/drivers/scsi/scsi_lib.c index 7bd7f0d..124ab53 100644 --- a/drivers/scsi/scsi_lib.c +++ b/drivers/scsi/scsi_lib.c @@ -857,7 +857,8 @@ void scsi_io_completion(struct scsi_cmnd *cmd, unsigned int good_bytes) */ if ((sshdr.asc == 0x0) && (sshdr.ascq == 0x1d)) ; - else if (!(req->cmd_flags & REQ_QUIET)) + else if (cmd->device->sdev_state != SDEV_TRANSPORT_OFFLINE && + !(req->cmd_flags & REQ_QUIET)) scsi_print_sense("", cmd); result = 0; /* BLOCK_PC may have set error */ -- 1.8.4.5 Thanks, Bart. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
