I replaced every return (-E....) by RETURN (...) and used
#define RETURN(r) do { printk("--> st:RETURN %d in line %d\n",r,__LINE__); return (r); } while (0)
(so line number are off by one for 2.1.125) and when trying to read
past EOF/EOT for QIC150 I got:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
st0: Block limits 512 - 512 bytes.
st0: Mode sense. Length 11, medium 6, WBS 10, BLL 8
st0: Density 0, tape length: 0, drv buffer: 1
st0: Block size: 512, buffer size: 32768 (64 blocks).
aha1542.c: Trying device reset for target 2
Sent BUS RESET to scsi host 1
st0: Error: 8000002, cmd: 8 1 0 0 40 0 Len: 32768
extra data not valid Current error st09:00: sense key Unit Attention
Additional sense indicates Power on, reset, or bus device reset occurred
--> st:RETURN -5 in line 217
st0: Sense: 70 0 6 0 0 0 0 16
st0: Tape error while reading.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
which is the RETURN (-EIO) at the very end of st_chk_result() in line 216.
no other error returns show up in st.c.
note that the `aha1542.c: Trying device reset...' shows up before any
debug message from st.c or error in st.c
