[PATCH RESEND] SCSI: sd: don't fail if the device doesn't recognize SYNCHRONIZE CACHE

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Alan Stern <stern@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Evidently some wacky USB-ATA bridges don't recognize the SYNCHRONIZE
CACHE command, as shown in this email thread:

	http://marc.info/?t=138978356200002&r=1&w=2

The fact that we can't tell them to drain their caches shouldn't
prevent the system from going into suspend.  Therefore sd_sync_cache()
shouldn't return an error if the device replies with an Invalid
Command ASC.

Hi,

this patch has been around for awhile, but hasn't gained much
attraction, and hasn't been merged anywhere yet. Which is sad,
as it fixes a bug on real hardware when going to suspend :)

Could anyone from the SCSI people have a quick look maybe?

Thanks,
Daniel
