This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled scsi: scsi_dh_alua: Check for negative result value to the 5.13-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: scsi-scsi_dh_alua-check-for-negative-result-value.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.13 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 88c09fc422d021f6ae0aa06df11f15d36159dad4 Author: Hannes Reinecke <hare@xxxxxxx> Date: Tue Apr 27 10:30:11 2021 +0200 scsi: scsi_dh_alua: Check for negative result value [ Upstream commit 7e26e3ea028740f934477ec01ba586ab033c35aa ] scsi_execute() will now return a negative error if there was an error prior to command submission; evaluate that instead if checking for DRIVER_ERROR.
