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.
