I did actually _read_ the code but probably the assumption i made was wrong (i
tend to do that off and on.. :)), and didn't elaborate on that in my original
mail. First of all, the *_pc_callback is overridden with in the *_rw_callback in
*_blockpc_cmd() not only for pc requests but also for fs requests in *_create_rw_cmd
in *_do_request(). The pc->c member is only memcopied in *_blockpc_cmd() from
rq->cmd and i thought the command in pc->c[0] would be the sole criteria to
decide upon how to end the request. And this is actually what it boils down
to, the *_rw_callback() ends the request without error checking (i.e. calls
idefloppy_end_request(?, 1, ?) with the second arg uptodate = 1 which turns off
the error local var in *_end_request, while the *_pc_callback() checks for errors.

But shouldn't we do error checking for pc requests too? ide-cd does turn off
error checking for fs requests but not for pc requests, so what do we want to do
here?

Thanks.
