Subject: [PATCH] block: don't try Write Same from __blkdev_issue_zeroout
Date: Sun,  5 Feb 2017 18:10:35 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170205171035.5993-1-hch@lst.de> (raw)

Write Same can return an error asynchronously if it turns out the
underlying SCSI device does not support Write Same, which makes a
proper fallback to other methods in __blkdev_issue_zeroout impossible.
Thus only issue a Write Same from blkdev_issue_zeroout an don't try it
at all from __blkdev_issue_zeroout as a non-invasive workaround.

Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
Reported-by: Junichi Nomura <j-nomura@ce.jp.nec.com>
Fixes: e73c23ff ("block: add async variant of blkdev_issue_zeroout")
