Subject: [PATCH] vmw_pvscsi: return SUCCESS for successful command aborts
Date: Fri, 28 Oct 2016 12:27:26 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20161028162726.GA1270@rage> (raw)


The vmw_pvscsi driver reports most successful aborts as FAILED to the scsi
error handler.  This is do to a misunderstanding of how completion_done() works
and its interaction with a successful wait using wait_for_completion_timeout().
The vmw_pvscsi driver is expecting completion_done() to always return true if
complete() has been called on the completion structure.  But completion_done()
returns true after complete() has been called only if no function like
wait_for_completion_timeout() has seen the completion and cleared it as part of
successfully waiting for the completion.

Instead of using completion_done(), vmw_pvscsi should just use the return
value from wait_for_completion_timeout() to know if the wait timed out or not.
