[Devel] unexpected scsi timeout

[Vasily Averin]

Tejun, Jeff

I've noticed that some scsi commands for DVD-drive attached to pata_via
successfully finishes without any delays but reports about TIMEOUT condition. It
happens because of ATA_ERR bit is set in status register. As result for each
command  Error Handler thread awakened, requests sense buffer and go to sleep again.

Could you please confirm that it is expected behavior? It's a bit strange for
me, IMHO other scsi drivers requests sense buffer without EH thread.

Thank you,
	Vasily Averin
