Please mention in the patch description that this change involves a user
space ABI change. My understanding is that the current behavior of the
IOC_PR_* ioctls is as follows:
* A value <= 0 is returned for NVMe where 0 represents success and a
negative value represents failure.
* A value >= 0 is returned for SCSI where 0 represents success and a
positive value is a four-byte SCSI status code.
This patch changes the behavior for SCSI from returning a value >= 0
into returning a value that can be negative, zero or positive where only
the return value 0 represents success.
See also sd_pr_command() in drivers/scsi/sd.c.
Thanks,
Bart.
