PATCH 1/1 Undo __scsi_kill_request()

Hi all,

the main goal of using FAILFAST is to have requests terminated early if the link to the target is lost. This is indicated by the device state SDEV_BLOCK.
So we only have to check for the FAILFAST flag when we check the queue state in scsi_prep_fn().

This patch reverts parts of the original patch
'Do not requeue requests if REQ_FAILFAST is set'
as the return values of ->queuecommand() should not be affected by the FAILFAST setting.

James, please apply.

Cheers,

Hannes

Remove __scsi_kill_request()

We only have to evaluate the FAILFAST flag if the device is in status SDEV_BLOCK, as this indicates a link failure. The return status of ->queuecommand() should not be affected by this, so remove the check there.
