[PATCH 3.2 012/131] scsi: handle flush errors properly

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

 



3.2.63-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: James Bottomley <JBottomley@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 89fb4cd1f717a871ef79fa7debbe840e3225cd54 upstream.

Flush commands don't transfer data and thus need to be special cased
in the I/O completion handler so that we can propagate errors to
the block layer and filesystem.
