The point of the hacks in the sd driver was to make sure SG_IO ioctl commands issued via a sd device node would not get caught up in the sd driver's error processing (e.g. retries on MEDIUM ERRORs). Is there a clean path back for such errors to the SG_IO ioctl and hence the user space? The same applies to most of the error processing done in the midlayer, with TASK SET FULL being a bit of a grey area.
