No this commit is a serious bug, and the only fix is like you suggested in __end_that_request_first. This is because it breaks that scsi-ml loop where scsi_bufflen() can be less then blk_rq_bytes(). In that case this commit is a data corruption. > Only sglist stuff in SCSI midlayer is scsi_req_map_sg now.

(The patch includes the revert of commit e97a294e) --- From: Boaz Harrosh Date: Wed, 5 Mar 2008 12:07:12 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] blk: missing add of padded bytes to io completion byte count the commit e97a294ef6938512b655b1abf17656cf2b26f709 was very wrong. This is because scsi-ml supports the ability to split a request into smaller chunks, in which case scsi_bufflen() is smaller then request length. Then at completion time the remainder can be issued as a new scsi command. In that case the above commit is a data corruption. Also in this fix all users of block layer are taken care of, and not only scsi devices.
