Subject: [PATCH] Retry mode select in rdac device handler
Date: Wed, 05 Nov 2008 20:06:37 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1225944397.14830.1111.camel@chandra-ubuntu> (raw)
When the mode select sent to the controller fails with the retryable
error, it is better to retry the mode_select from the hardware handler
itself, instead of propagating the failure to dm-multipath.
