Hi Christoph,

Agreed that neither REQUEST SENSE nor any of the other SCSI commands
submitted by the SCSI error handler access the storage medium. However,
even if Po-Wen's patch would be modified such that it checks the SCSI
CDB to verify whether or not the SCSI command accesses the medium, the
other concerns that I mentioned still apply. So if nobody objects I
propose to repost patch "[PATCH v2 1/1] scsi: core: Fix error handler
encryption support" with v2 bumped to v3.

Thanks,

Bart.
