scsi: convert discard to REQ_TYPE_FS from REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC
Jens, any reason why this isn't included in your for-2.6.36 yet? = From: FUJITA Tomonori <fujita.tomonori@lab.ntt.co.jp> Subject: [PATCH resend] scsi: convert discard to REQ_TYPE_FS from REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC The block layer (file systems) sends discard requests as REQ_TYPE_FS (the role of REQ_TYPE_FS is that setting up commands and interpreting the results). But SCSI-ml treats discard requests as REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC. scsi-ml can handle discard requests as REQ_TYPE_FS easily. scsi_setup_discard_cmnd() sets up struct request and the bio nicely. Only remaining issue is that discard requests can't be completed partially so we need to modify sd_done. This conversion also fixes the problem that discard requests aren't retried when possible (e.g. UNIT ATTENTION).
