Subject: New SCSI host_byte status code.
Date: Tue, 9 Mar 2004 18:36:05 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200403091836.05057.naveenb@cisco.com> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 381 bytes --]


At present there is no way to retry, if allowed, a scsi command without 
decrementing the scsi command's retry count.

Please find a patch attached, which is submitted, for adding a new host_byte 
status code called "DID_IMM_RETRY". This enables the Low Level SCSI drivers 
to initiate retry of a scsi command without decrementing the scsi commad's 
retry count.

Thanks,
Naveen.
