From: Johannes Thumshirn <jthumshirn@xxxxxxx> commit e7661a8e5ce10b5321882d0bbaf3f81070903319 upstream. When instrumenting the SCSI layer to run into the !blk_rq_nr_phys_segments(rq) case the following warning emitted from the block layer: blk_peek_request: bad return=-22 This happens because since commit fd3fc0b4d730 ("scsi: don't BUG_ON() empty DMA transfers") we return the wrong error value from scsi_prep_fn() back to the block layer.
