[SCSI] scsi_debug: add consecutive medium errors
A useful test case for error recovery is multiple, consecutive medium errors. When scsi_debug is started with "opts=2" a MEDIUM ERROR is generated when block 0x1234 (4660) is read. The patch extends that to 10 consecutive blocks from 0x1234 (i.e. blocks 4660 to 4669 inclusive). [0:0:0:0] disk ATA INTEL SSD 2CV1 /dev/sda /dev/sg0 80.0GB [10:0:0:0] disk Linux scsi_debug 0004 /dev/sdb /dev/sg1 1.09TB Output file not specified so no copy, just reading input >> unrecovered read error at blk=4660, substitute zeros ... >> unrecovered read error at blk=4669, substitute zeros 4670+10 records in 0+0 records out 10 unrecovered read errors lowest unrecovered read lba=4660, highest unrecovered lba=4669 time to read data: 0.047943 secs at 49.87 MB/sec BTW Change /dev/sg1 (bsg device works just as well) to /dev/sdb to see why, with faulty media, you do not want to use the block layer interface. Reason: time block layer takes to do useless retries and collateral damage to data in its 4 KB blocks (O_DIRECT mitigates the latter). ChangeLog: - extend opts=2 medium error generation at block 0x1234 to 10 consecutive blocks (i.e. blocks 0x1234 to 0x123d).
