Since the sd driver does not submit the PRE-FETCH command, how about
moving support for CONDITION MET into the sg code and treating CONDITION
MET as an error inside the sd, sr and st drivers? I think that would
allow to simplify scsi_status_is_good(). The current definition of that
function is as follows:
static inline int scsi_status_is_good(int status)
{
/*
* FIXME: bit0 is listed as reserved in SCSI-2, but is
* significant in SCSI-3. For now, we follow the SCSI-2
* behaviour and ignore reserved bits.
*/
status &= 0xfe;
return ((status == SAM_STAT_GOOD) ||
(status == SAM_STAT_CONDITION_MET) ||
/* Next two "intermediate" statuses are obsolete in*/
/* SAM-4 */
(status == SAM_STAT_INTERMEDIATE) ||
(status == SAM_STAT_INTERMEDIATE_CONDITION_MET) ||
/* FIXME: this is obsolete in SAM-3 */
(status == SAM_STAT_COMMAND_TERMINATED));
}
Thanks,
Bart.
