[PATCH 1/2] ibmvfc: Delay NPIV login retry and add retries

Brian King
2008-12-03T17:03:48Z

Adds a delay prior to retrying a failed NPIV login. This fixes
a scenario if the backing fibre channel adapter is getting reset
due to an EEH event, NPIV login will fail. Currently, ibmvfc
retries three times very quickly, resets the CRQ and tries one
more time. If the adapter is getting reset due to EEH, this isn't
enough time. This adds a delay prior to retrying a failed NPIV
login and also increments the number of retries.
