This reverts commit 84f7a9de0602704bbec774a6c7f7c8c4994bee9c. Because it introduces a problem that rq->__data_len is set to the wrong value. before the patch: 1) nr_bytes = rq->__data_len 2) rq->__data_len = sdp->sector_size 3) scsi_init_io() 4) rq->__data_len = nr_bytes after the patch: 1) rq->__data_len = sdp->sector_size 2) scsi_init_io() 3) rq->__data_len = rq->__data_len -> __data_len is wrong It will cause that io can only complete one segment each time, and the io will requeue in scsi_io_completion_action(), which will cause severe performance degradation. Scsi write same is removed in commit e383e16e84e9 ("scsi: sd: Remove WRITE_SAME support") from mainline, hence this patch is only needed for stable kernels.

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.
