[PATCH v2 04/10] scsi: virtio_scsi: Drop DID_TARGET_FAILURE use

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



DID_TARGET_FAILURE is internal to the SCSI layer. Drivers must not use it
because:

1. It's not propagated upwards, so SG IO/passthrough users will not see an
error and think a command was successful.

2. There is no handling for them in scsi_decide_disposition so it results
in the scsi eh running.

It looks like virtio_scsi gets this when something like qemu returns
VIRTIO_SCSI_S_TARGET_FAILURE. It looks like qemu returns that error code
if a host OS returns it, but this shouldn't happen for linux since we
never propagate that error to userspace.

This has us use DID_BAD_TARGET in case some other virt layer is returning
it. In that case we will still get a hard error like before and it conveys
something unexpected happened.
