From eeeefd41843218c55a8782a6920f044d9bf6207a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Sun, 5 Feb 2017 18:10:35 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] block: don't try Write Same from __blkdev_issue_zeroout Write Same can return an error asynchronously if it turns out the underlying SCSI device does not support Write Same, which makes a proper fallback to other methods in __blkdev_issue_zeroout impossible. Thus only issue a Write Same from blkdev_issue_zeroout an don't try it at all from __blkdev_issue_zeroout as a non-invasive workaround.
