The patch titled
drivers/scsi/sd.c: fix uninitialized variable in handling medium errors
has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is
drivers-scsi-sdc-fix-uninitialized-variable-in-handling-medium-errors.patch
See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find
out what to do about this
From: Mark Lord <lkml@xxxxxx>
When scsi_get_sense_info_fld() fails (returns 0), it does NOT update the
value of first_err_block. But sd_rw_intr() merrily continues to use that
variable regardless, possibly making incorrect decisions about retries and
the like.
This patch removes the randomness there, by using the first sector of the
request (SCpnt->request->sector) in such cases, instead of first_err_block.
