Sigh. This is one of the sore topics with the SCSI stack.

The default sense code handling is correct only for filesystem
I/O; BLOCK_PC callers are expected to handle all errors themselves.
Which typically is a pain as one always forgets the one or the
other issue.

The device handlers have a callout into that generic function
to handle and device handler specific sense codes.

So with that I do agree that calling alua_check_sense() here
is dubious as it should have been run from the generic path already.

Will be checking and fixing it up.

Okay, will be doing so.
