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.
