  [SCSI] sd: Update WRITE SAME heuristics


 The regression was introduced as of v3.11-rc1, but it also made it's way
 into the stable trees.

 I see that you are the author of this patch, so I wanted to run this by
 you.  I was thinking of requesting a revert for v3.12, but I wanted to
 get your feedback first.


 James queued this up for 3.13

 Maybe we should try to convince James to take it into 3.12?


 Cheers,
 Bernd
Hi Bernd,

The bug reporter confirms that your patch fixes the bug.  Any chance
this patch can make it into 3.12?

Thanks,

Joe

FWIW, I don't think reverting the WRITE SAME patch is an option -- it
causes serious filesystem failures.

Tried the other approach?

From your bug report: Areca Raid Controller2: F/W v1.46 ...(etc)...

I'll build a 3.12 test kernel with this commit and ask the bug reporter
to test it.  Thanks for the pointer, Bernd.

Thanks, Doug.  I'm going to give the patch[0] written by Bernd Schubert
a try first.  If the issue still persists, I'll ask the bug reporter to
upgrade the firmware.
