Date: Thu, 24 Jul 2014 10:45:35 +0100 From: Luis Henriques <luis.henriques@...onical.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, stable@...r.kernel.org, kernel-team@...ts.ubuntu.com Cc: James Bottomley <JBottomley@...allels.com>, Luis Henriques <luis.henriques@...onical.com> Subject: [PATCH 3.11 086/128] [SCSI] Fix spurious request sense in error handling 3.11.10.14 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: James Bottomley <JBottomley@...allels.com> commit d555a2abf3481f81303d835046a5ec2c4fb3ca8e upstream. We unconditionally execute scsi_eh_get_sense() to make sure all failed commands that should have sense attached, do. However, the routine forgets that some commands, because of the way they fail, will not have any sense code ... we should not bother them with a REQUEST_SENSE command. Fix this by testing to see if we actually got a CHECK_CONDITION return and skip asking for sense if we don't.
