libata: workaround DRQ=1 ERR=1 for ATAPI tape drives
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
After an error condition, some ATAPI tape drives set DRQ=1 together
with ERR=1 when asking the host to transfer the CDB of the next packet
command (i.e. request sense).  This patch, a revised version of
Alan/Mark's previous patch, adds ATA_HORKAGE_STUCK_ERR to workaround
the problem by ignoring the ERR bit and proceed sending the CDB.
