With the introduction of commit e39a97353e53 ("scsi: core: return BLK_STS_OK for DID_OK in __scsi_error_from_host_byte()"), a command that failed with hostbyte=DID_OK and driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE but lacking additional sense information will have a return code set to BLK_STS_OK. This results in the request issuer to see successful request execution despite the failure. An example of such case is an unaligned write on a host managed ZAC disk connected to a SAS HBA with a malfunctioning SAT. The unaligned write command gets aborted but has no additional sense information.

In scsi_io_completion(), sense key handling to not change the request error code and success being reported to the issuer.
Fix this by making sure that the error code always indicates an error if scsi_io_completion() decide that the action to be taken for a failed command is to not retry it and terminate it immediately (ACTION_FAIL) .

That looks wrong. Shouldn't __scsi_error_from_host_byte() return the correct status here?

Since hostbyte is DID_OK, __scsi_error_from_host_byte() returns BLK_STS_OK. The HBA fails to give sense data, so the ABORTED_COMMAND case in scsi_io_completion() "switch (sshdr.sense_key)" does nothing and error stays equal to success. scsi_end_request() gets called with that and dd sees a success...
There are also plenty of other sense keys cases where error is not changed despite the fact that error can be BLK_STS_SUCCESS (in fact, I think this is likely the most common case since an command failure with hostbyte=DID_OK and driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE is probably the most common one.
My patch is a bit of a hammer and makes sure that an ACTION_FAIL request is completed as a failure... Am I getting all this wrong ?
Just checked with the code, and send a new patch. Which I find a bit clearer.
Fact is that __scsi_error_from_host_byte() is not sufficient to evaluate the return code, so taking its return value with any further checks is indeed wrong. But then it never said so on the boilerplate of __scsi_error_from_host_byte() ...
So please do check the 'v2' version of the patch.
Cheers,
Hannes
