Subject: [PATCH] ata: libata-scsi: fix requeue of deferred ATA PASS-THROUGH commands
Date: Fri, 10 Apr 2026 16:15:19 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260410231519.951971-1-ipylypiv@google.com> (raw)

Commit 0ea84089dbf6 ("ata: libata-scsi: avoid Non-NCQ command starvation")
introduced ata_scsi_requeue_deferred_qc() to handle commands deferred
during resets or NCQ failures. This deferral logic completed commands
with DID_SOFT_ERROR to trigger a retry in the SCSI mid-layer.

However, DID_SOFT_ERROR is subject to scsi_cmd_retry_allowed() checks.
ATA PASS-THROUGH commands sent via SG_IO ioctl have scmd->allowed set
to zero. This causes the mid-layer to fail the command immediately
instead of retrying, even though the command was never actually issued
to the hardware.

Switch to DID_REQUEUE to ensure these commands are inserted back into
the request queue regardless of retry limits.

Fixes: 0ea84089dbf6 ("ata: libata-scsi: avoid Non-NCQ command starvation")
