I'll add the patch in v4.

Perhaps we can move the SAM_STAT_CHECK_CONDITION setting into else if? if (is_ata_passthru && (is_ck_cond_request || is_error || have_sense)) { if (!have_sense) ata_gen_passthru_sense(qc); else if (is_ck_cond_request) set_status_byte(qc->scsicmd, SAM_STAT_CHECK_CONDITION); ata_scsi_set_passthru_sense_fields(qc); } else if (is_error && !have_sense) { > + } else if (is_error && !have_sense) { > ata_gen_ata_sense(qc); > } else { > /* Keep the SCSI ML and status byte, clear host byte. */ Thanks, Igor
