Re: [PATCH scsi-misc-2.6 01/04] scsi: consolidate error handling out of scsi_init_io() into scsi_prep_fn()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



01_scsi_reqfn_consolidate_error_handling.patch

	This patch fixes a queue stall bug which occurred when sgtable
	allocation failed and device_busy == 0.  When scsi_init_io()
	returns BLKPREP_DEFER or BLKPREP_KILL, it's supposed to free
	resources itself.  This patch consolidates defer and kill
	handling into scsi_prep_fn().

	Note that this patch doesn't consolidate state defer/kill
	handlings in scsi_prep_fn() as all state checks will be moved
	into scsi_reques_fn() by the following reqfn_reimpl patch.

	ret value checking was changed to switch() as in James's
	patch.  Also, kill: comment is copied from James's patch.
