This solves the problem. All works properly and if I try some mt command after filemark detection, the residual is correctly zero.
ok thanks for having patience with me and testing so much.
This change solving problems also explains what I have seen today. Before your message I had found out that all three commands (the one that should have been executed and the two retries) were fetched from the queue in the normal way. Eh did not have anything to do with them. The command was using dio and 10240 bytes needs three pages => two retries.
ahh :)
Fixing passing the retries did not actually have anything to do with this exact problem. However, I think that the retries parameter should be obeyed if it is in the interface.
Yes, I think we need both fixes for the users of scsi_execte and scsi_execute_req that was added to scsi-rc-fixes. I will make a patch and send if off.
Thanks again for testing. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
