Of course, one could argue that for a clean separation between the ATA core and SCSI/ATAPI, this check should really be done in cmd_packet and ide_abort_command() could stay static. And in fact, I do think it's worthwhile to try getting a better separation in the mid term. However, for a 2.4 fix, this patch might be the right thing to do. The interesting part is that the SCSI command is already partially handled before the error is returned. The required assumption here is that the guest doesn't actually see any intermediate state between issuing the command and getting the abort, so it doesn't notice that we already started the command successfully. I _think_ that assumption holds true. Reviewed-by: Kevin Wolf <kw...@redhat.com>
