[PATCH] vmw_pvscsi: return SUCCESS for successful command aborts

[PATCH] vmw_pvscsi: return SUCCESS for successful command aborts

[David Jeffery]

The vmw_pvscsi driver reports most successful aborts as FAILED to the scsi
error handler.  This is do to a misunderstanding of how completion_done() works
and its interaction with a successful wait using wait_for_completion_timeout().
The vmw_pvscsi driver is expecting completion_done() to always return true if
complete() has been called on the completion structure.  But completion_done()
returns true after complete() has been called only if no function like
wait_for_completion_timeout() has seen the completion and cleared it as part of
successfully waiting for the completion.

Instead of using completion_done(), vmw_pvscsi should just use the return
value from wait_for_completion_timeout() to know if the wait timed out or not.

Looks correct to me.

David, VMware prefers to update the module's version number as the driver is updated. Would you
please update the PVSCSI_DRIVER_VERSION_STRING in vmx_pvscsi.h from 1.0.6.0-k to 1.0.7.0-k?
Otherwise the patch looks fine to us.

Applied to 4.9/scsi-fixes with a bumped version number.
