This patch series is the first batch of cleanups in an attempt to make the SCSI printing more consistent and suitable for human consumption. Previously a typical error looked like this: sd 0:0:0:0: SCSI error: return code = 0x08000002 sda: Current: sense key: Aborted Command Additional sense: Logical block reference tag check failed You had to have the magic return value decoder ring handy to figure out what had really happened. And you had to do the mapping between sd 0:0:0:0 and sda yourself. The following patches clean up various bits so that the same information can be presented in a more readable form: sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE,SUGGEST_OK sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Sense Key : Aborted Command [current] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Add. Sense: Logical block reference tag check failed All printk's from sd.c now have the same prefix. If logging is turned on, for instance, we also get: sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Send: 0x0fb89180 sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] CDB: Read(16): 88 20 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 20 00 00 00 08 00 00 sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Done: 0x0fb89180 SUCCESS The patches need to be applied in order. -- Martin K.
