[PATCH 3.18 099/183] storvsc: ring buffer failures may result in I/O freeze

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Sun Jan 25 2015 - 13:43:40 EST


3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Long Li <longli@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit e86fb5e8ab95f10ec5f2e9430119d5d35020c951 upstream.

When ring buffer returns an error indicating retry, storvsc may not
return a proper error code to SCSI when bounce buffer is not used.
This has introduced I/O freeze on RAID running atop storvsc devices.
This patch fixes it by always returning a proper error code.
