            Bug ID: 188681
           Summary: Function csio_hw_flash_erase_sectors() does not return
                    correct error codes on failures
           Product: SCSI Drivers
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: linux-4.9-rc6
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: Other
          Assignee: scsi_drivers-other@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
          Reporter: bianpan2010@ruc.edu.cn
        Regression: No

>From the usages of function csio_hw_flash_erase_sectors() defined in
drivers/scsi/csiostor/csio_hw.c, we can infer that it should return a non-zero
error code when something goes wrong. However, it will return 0 even the calls
to csio_hw_sf1_write() or csio_hw_flash_wait_op() fails. Maybe it is better to
use "return ret;" instead of "return 0;" at line 616. Codes related to this bug
are summarised as follows.

Thanks very much!
