I'm with Christoph on this: BUSY and QUEUE_FULL are already handled
generically in SCSI. All drivers should use the generics: to handle
separately, the driver has to intercept the error code, which I thought
I checked that none did (although it was a while ago). Additionally,
the timeout on these operations is retries * command timeout. So for
the default 5 retries and 30 seconds, you actually get to tolerate
BUSY/QUEUE_FULL for 2.5 minutes before you get an error. If this is a
problem, you can bump up the timer in
/sys/class/scsi_device/<id>/device/timeout
