And this effectively switches us to use the write_zeroes for SCSI.

Can you decode which warning this is?  Is it:

	WARN_ON_ONCE(req->rq_flags & RQF_SPECIAL_PAYLOAD);

?  In which case your setup did a partial completion of a WRITE SAME
command, which is perfectly legal according to SCSI, but a bit unusual.
