Or is correct.
If iscsi_prep_scsi_cmd_pdu is successful then it will increment cmdsn.
In this code path for xmit_task above, we assume that the driver can
either take the entire command and can send it here, or return error and
we requeue. For your new error case where we cannot send the command due
to a hard failure so we want to fail the command, then we still need to
decrement the cmdsn or there would be a hole since it was never put on
the wire.
Also, it is probably safest to check for the error code you are adding
support for:
reason = session->tt->xmit_task(task);
if (reason) {
session->cmdsn--;
if (reason == -EINVAL) {
sc->result = DID_ABORT << 16;
goto prepd_fault;
} else {
sc->result = DID_ABORT << 16;
goto prepd_fault;
}
}
