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.
