[PATCH] Improve code for detecting errors near the end of a CD

James:

This revised patch (as572b) improves the code in sr.c that detects where
read/write errors occurred and moves it to a separate (but inline) routine
for greater clarity.

The original code contained a glaring mistake: testing
(SCpnt->sense_buffer[0] & 0x90) to see if the Information field in the
sense data is valid.  The Valid bit is 0x80; the test against 0x90 can
never fail, thanks to an earlier test: (SCpnt->sense_buffer[0] & 0x7f) ==
0x70).

The patch is careful to check that the error sector is within the range of
blocks that were supposed to be transferred, and it rounds the reported 
number of bytes transferred down to a multiple of the block layer's block 
size.

The major enhancement is that the patch uses the Residue to calculate the 
error sector, if the sense data doesn't already provide it.  This helps 
with a drive I use.  Since the Residue isn't always reported correctly, 
the patch is careful to check that it has a reasonable value: somewhere 
strictly between 0 and the total transfer length.
