4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Bart Van Assche <bart.vanassche@xxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit a44c9d36509c83cf64f33b93f6ab2e63822c01eb ] Since scsi_get_device_flags_keyed() callers do not check whether or not the returned value is an error code, change that function such that it returns a flags value even if the 'key' argument is invalid. Note: since commit 28a0bc4120d3 ("scsi: sd: Implement blacklist option for WRITE SAME w/ UNMAP") bit 31 is a valid device information flag so checking whether bit 31 is set in the return value is not sufficient to tell the difference between an error code and a flags value.
