Unfortunately, it's not quite right.  The line of code in question
needs to be

if ((vstor_packet->vm_srb.scsi_status & 0xFF) == SAM_STAT_CHECK_CONDITION &&

quoted

The status_byte() helper was doing the masking as well as the right
shift, so the masking will need to be open coded.

CHECK_CONDITION is obsolete so no shifting is required for the SAM
status. And as far as I can tell vm_srb.scsi_status is a u8:

struct vmscsi_request {
        u16 length;
        u8 srb_status;
        u8 scsi_status;
[...]

Indeed, you are right!  I was trying to preserve the masking with 0xFF
from the original code before my patch, but that masking was
spurious.  :-(   So yes, it's good.

Thanks,

Michael
