That is the typical case, ata_qc_new() succeeds but we cannot issue the

host_lock in-between, as that could potentially change the situation.

ata_scsi_translate() in libata-scsi.c, in between the call to ata_scsi_qc_new() and ata_qc_issue().

something like:

if (ata_scsi_qc_new() fails ||
(depth > 0 && ata_check_non_ncq_cmd()))
complete SCSI command with 'queue full'

NOTE!

I just noticed a bug -- When ata_scsi_qc_new() fails, the code should complete the command with queue-full, but does not.

qc = ata_scsi_qc_new(ap, dev, cmd, done);
if (!qc)
return;
