As we now see the result for every command we

This solves a potential data corruption when
a request is being terminated with RESERVATION
CONFLICT and queue_if_no_path is active; the
request will be queued until the reservation
status changes and then transmitted.


I had the same bz. To handle it I just converted the error to some other -EXYZ value. But like I said in my patch that I sent to the list I did not like it much.

I thought of going the route you did in this patch, but thought it was too scsi specific. Does dasd want advanced error handling? If not, then I am fine since for hw handlers we assume they are always scsi_dh modules.
