[PATCH v5] scsi: sd: Ignore command SYNC CACHE error if format in progress

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

 



If formatting a suspended disk (such as formatting with different DIF
type), the disk will be resuming first, and then the format command will
submit to the disk through SG_IO ioctl.

When the disk is processing the format command, the system does not submit
other commands to the disk. Therefore, the system attempts to suspend the
disk again and sends the SYNC CACHE command. However, the SYNC CACHE
command will fail because the disk is in the formatting process, which
will cause the runtime_status of the disk to error and it is difficult
for user to recover it. Error info like:

[  669.925325] sd 6:0:6:0: [sdg] Synchronizing SCSI cache
[  670.202371] sd 6:0:6:0: [sdg] Synchronize Cache(10) failed: Result: hostbyte=0x00 driverbyte=DRIVER_OK
[  670.216300] sd 6:0:6:0: [sdg] Sense Key : 0x2 [current]
[  670.221860] sd 6:0:6:0: [sdg] ASC=0x4 ASCQ=0x4

To solve the issue, ignore the error and return success/0 when formatting
in progress.
