2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Jamie Wellnitz commit 10dab22664914505dcb804d9ad09cad6bc94d349 upstream The current handling of NO_SENSE check condition is the same as RECOVERED_ERROR, and assumes that in both cases, the I/O was fully transferred. We have seen cases of arrays returning with NO_SENSE (no error), but the I/O was not completely transferred, thus residual set. Thus, rather than return good_bytes as the entire transfer, set good_bytes to 0, so that the midlayer then applies the residual in calculating the transfer, and for sd, will fail the I/O and fall into a retry path.
