hunk by hunk: - CHECK_CONDITION is what happens to cmnd->status >> 1 or after status_byte() macro. But here it is used directly on status which means 0x1 which is an undefined bit in the standard. And is a status that will never return from a target.
- in busfree_run at the DONE_SC phase we have 3 distinct operation: 1-if(DONE_SC->SCp.phase & check_condition) The REQUEST_SENSE command return. - Restore original command - Than continue to operation 3. 2-if(DONE_SC->SCp.Status==SAM_STAT_CHECK_CONDITION) A regular command returned with a status. - Internally re-Q a REQUEST_SENSE. - Do not do operation 3. 3- - Complete the command and return it to scsi-ml So the 0x2 in both these operations (1,2) means the scsi check-condition status, hence SAM_STAT_CHECK_CONDITION - Here the code asks about !(DONE_SC->SCp.Status & not_issued) but "not_issued" is an enum belonging to the "phase" member and not to the Status returned from target. The reason this works is because not_issued==1 and Also CHECK_CONDITION==1 (remember from hunk 1). So actually the code was asking !(DONE_SC->SCp.Status & CHECK_CONDITION). Which means "Has the status been read from target yet?" Staus is read at status_run(). "not_issued" is cleared in seldo_run() which is usually earlier than status_run(). So this patch does nothing as far as assembly is concerned but it does let the reader understand what is going on.
