[SCSI] Fix spurious request sense in error handling

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

 



Upstream Commit: d555a2abf3481f81303d835046a5ec2c4fb3ca8e

We unconditionally execute scsi_eh_get_sense() to make sure all failed
commands that should have sense attached, do.  However, the routine forgets
that some commands, because of the way they fail, will not have any sense code
... we should not bother them with a REQUEST_SENSE command.  Fix this by
testing to see if we actually got a CHECK_CONDITION return and skip asking for
sense if we don't.

This actually fixes a bug in SCSI error handling (causing the eh to
issue a command while it is still pending at the HBA) which is causing
several other problems with miscellaneous drivers.  Please backport as
far as it will go.
