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. Tested-by: Alan Stern <stern@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <JBottomley@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- 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. diff --git a/drivers/scsi/scsi_error.c b/drivers/scsi/scsi_error.c index 771c16b..d020149 100644 --- a/drivers/scsi/scsi_error.c +++ b/drivers/scsi/scsi_error.c @@ -1157,6 +1157,15 @@ int scsi_eh_get_sense(struct list_head *work_q, __func__)); break; } + if (status_byte(scmd->result) != CHECK_CONDITION) + /* + * don't request sense if there's no check condition + * status because the error we're processing isn't one + * that has a sense code (and some devices get + * confused by sense requests out of the blue) + */ + continue; + SCSI_LOG_ERROR_RECOVERY(2, scmd_printk(KERN_INFO, scmd, "%s: requesting sense\n", current->comm)); -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
