Hello Martin and Damien, How about the following: * Add a function to the block layer that reports whether or not the request is a medium access request. The number of transferred bytes for a medium access request is a multiple of the logical block size. (The terminology "medium access command" comes from the SCSI specs.) * Use that function instead of "scmd->request->cmd_type == REQ_TYPE_FS" in the mpt3sas driver. * Do not modify sd_done(). This approach has the advantage that the mpt3sas firmware bug workaround does not slow down the hot path of the sd driver when another LLD than mpt3sas is used. Bart.
