The SCSI PRE-FETCH (10 or 16) command is present both on hard disks
and some SSDs. It is useful when the address of the next block(s) to
be read is known but it is not following the LBA of the current READ
(so read-ahead won't help). It returns two "good" SCSI Status values.
If the requested blocks have fitted (or will most likely fit (when
the IMMED bit is set)) into the disk's cache, it returns CONDITION
MET. If it didn't (or will not) fit then it returns GOOD status.

The primary goal of this patch is to stop the SCSI subsystem treating
the CONDITION MET SCSI status as an error. The current state makes the
PRE-FETCH command effectively unusable via pass-throughs. The hunt to
find where the erroneous decision was made led to the
scsi_io_completion() function in scsi_lib.c . This is a complicated
function made more complicated by the intertwining of good and error
(or special case) processing paths.

Future work: if the sd driver was to use the PRE-FETCH command,
decide whether it and/or the block layer needs to know about the
two different "good" statuses. If so a mechanism would be needed
to do that.

ChangeLog to v2:
   - further restructure the code, place some early non-zero
     result processing in a new helper function:
     scsi_io_completion_nz_result()
   - this reduces the number of error checks on the zero result
     path (the fast path) at the expense of some extra work for
     the non-zero result processing
   - rename some variables to make the code a little clearer

ChangeLog to v1:
   - expand scsi_status_is_good() to check for CONDITION MET
   - add another corner case in scsi_io_completion() adjacent
     to the one for the RECOVERED ERROR sense key case. That
     is another "non-error"
   - structure code so extra checks are only on the error
     path (i.e. when cmd->result is non-zero)

This patch is against mkp's 4.17/scsi-queue branch. It also applies
to lk 4.15.x where it was re-tested on a SAS SSD.

Hmm. Can't we return blk_stat from this function, and adjusting the
'result' value after it with an if-clause like

if (blk_stat == BLK_STS_OK)
	result = 0;

That would cleanup up the function and avoid having (essentially) two
return values.

Good idea.

I still like my v3 which continues the re-factoring of scsi_io_completion().

So I plan to re-issue the patch under the name:
   scsi_io_completion() cleanup and fix CONDITION MET handling

The only problem here is that __scsi_error_from_hostbyte() will return
BLK_STS_IOERR if result == 0; doubt that is intended.
And I guess it'll affect this issue, too.

Mind sending a separate patch for that?

Looks like you have already done that.
