For ESE devices we get an error when accessing an unformatted track.
The handling of this error will return zero data for read requests and
format the track on demand before writing to it. To do this the code needs
to distinguish between read and write requests. This is done with data from
the blocklayer request. A pointer to the blocklayer request is stored in
the CQR.
If there is an error on the device an ERP request is built to do error
recovery. While the ERP request is mostly a copy of the original CQR the
pointer to the blocklayer request is not copied to not accidentally pass
it back to the blocklayer without cleanup.
This leads to the error that during ESE handling after an ERP request was
built it is not possible to determine the IO direction. This leads to the
formatting of a track for read requests which might in turn lead to data
corruption.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
