All callers to sg_scsi_ioctl() _must_ be prepared to handle negative values already, so userspace should not break. We arguably _do_ return a different error here, but experience showed that basically no-one checks for driver byte values (except for DRIVER_SENSE, that is). So I don't think it really matters; we do return an error, and for userspace it doesn't matter as this command cannot be retried either way. So while this arguably is a change visible to userspace, I doubt it matters in the end.

The callers of sg_scsi_ioctl() already check for negative return values, so we can drop the usage of DRIVER_ERROR and return the error from blk_rq_map_kern() instead. Signed-off-by: Hannes Reinecke <hare@suse.de> --- block/scsi_ioctl.c | 7 ++++--- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-)
