[SCSI] isci: fix needless ata reset escalations
isci is needlessly tying libata's hands by returning SAM_STAT_CHECK_CONDITION to some ata errors. Instead, prefer SAS_PROTO_RESPONSE to let libata (via sas_ata_task_done()) disposition the device-to-host fis. For example isci is triggering an HSM Violation where AHCI is showing a simple media error for the same bus condition: isci: ata7.00: failed command: READ VERIFY SECTOR(S) ata7.00: cmd 40/00:01:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/e0 tag 0 res 01/04:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/e0 Emask 0x3 (HSM violation) ahci: ata6.00: failed command: READ VERIFY SECTOR(S) ata6.00: cmd 40/00:01:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/e0 tag 0 res 51/40:01:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/e0 Emask 0x9 (media error) Note that the isci response matches this from sas_ata_task_done(): /* We saw a SAS error. Send a vague error. */ [..] dev->sata_dev.fis[3] = 0x04; /* status err */ dev->sata_dev.fis[2] = ATA_ERR; The end effect is that isci is needlessly triggering hard resets when they are not necessary.
