Subject: Re: [PATCH] usb-storage: scsiglue: Changing the command result

Hi Greg,

There was problem with my email client.
Hope now it is fine.

[PATCH 1/3] usb: storage: Proper cmd result assignment

This change replaces DID_ABORT with DID_TIMEOUT as a command result
whenever US_FLIDX_TIMED_OUT bit is set.

This change is made to bring USB storage inline with a recent change:

commit    18a4d0a22ed6c54b67af7718c305cd010f09ddf8

[SCSI] Handle disk devices which can not process medium access commands
We have experienced several devices which fail in a fashion we do not
currently handle gracefully in SCSI. After a failure these devices will
respond to the SCSI primary command set (INQUIRY, TEST UNIT READY, etc.)
but any command accessing the storage medium will time out.

As the USB storage was setting command result as aborted rather than
timed out, SCSI layer was not recognizing the above mentioned failure
pattern.
