The firmware or device, possibly under a heavy I/O load, can return on a partial unaligned boundary. Scsi-ml expects these requests to be completed on an alignment boundary. Scsi-ml blindly requeues the I/O without checking the alignment boundary of the I/O request for the remaining bytes. This leads to errors, since devices cannot perform non-aligned read/write operations. This patch fixes the issue in the driver. It aligns unaligned completions of FS requests, by truncating them to the nearest alignment boundary.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
