Subject[PATCH 3.10 28/74] libata: make ata_eh_qc_retry() bump scmd->allowed on bogus failures
Date
3.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Gwendal Grignou <gwendal@google.com>

commit f13e220161e738c2710b9904dcb3cf8bb0bcce61 upstream.

libata EH decrements scmd->retries when the command failed for reasons
unrelated to the command itself so that, for example, commands aborted
due to suspend / resume cycle don't get penalized; however,
decrementing scmd->retries isn't enough for ATA passthrough commands.

Without this fix, ATA passthrough commands are not resend to the
drive, and no error is signalled to the caller because:

- allowed retry count is 1
- ata_eh_qc_complete fill the sense data, so result is valid
- sense data is filled with untouched ATA registers.
