Subject: lk 2.4.27 error handling, ad infinitum
Date: Tue, 31 Aug 2004 22:48:02 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <41347382.8010806@torque.net> (raw)
The following scenario has been brought to my attention.
While handling a error (e.g. a timeout) the
scsi_send_eh_cmnd() function issues a (stalled) queued command.
Now that command hits a repeatable failure (e.g. MEDIUM ERROR).
In this scaenario it would seem that the "goto retry" forms
an infinite loop re-issuing that command on the same (broken)
block.
Comments?
The good news is that this problem has not been observed in
the lk 2.6 series.
