With the introduction of commit e39a97353e53 ("scsi: core: return BLK_STS_OK for DID_OK in __scsi_error_from_host_byte()"), a command that failed with hostbyte=DID_OK and driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE but lacking additional sense information will have a return code set to BLK_STS_OK. This results in the request issuer to see successful request execution despite the failure. An example of such case is an unaligned write on a host managed ZAC disk connected to a SAS HBA with a malfunctioning SAT. The unaligned write command gets aborted but has no additional sense information. sd 10:0:0:0: [sde] tag#3905 FAILED Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE sd 10:0:0:0: [sde] tag#3905 Sense Key : Aborted Command [current] sd 10:0:0:0: [sde] tag#3905 Add.

Fix this by making sure that the error code always indicates an error if scsi_io_completion() decide that the action to be taken for a failed command is to not retry it and terminate it immediately (ACTION_FAIL) .
