Ignore. It does not go through the change in that case thanks to:
if (!(blk_rq_bytes(req) == 0 && error) &&
!scsi_end_request(req, error, good_bytes, 0))
return;
Assuming the RECOVERED_ERROR has no left over bytes. Otherwise, it goes
through requeue. Both cases being before the error code overwrite, no
problem.
Thanks !
