Subject: [PATCH] scsi: core: Do not retry I/Os during depopulation
Date: Thu, 30 Jan 2025 14:26:31 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250130222632.1462218-1-ipylypiv@google.com> (raw)
Fail I/Os instead of retry to prevent user space processes from being
blocked on the I/O completion for several minutes.
Retrying I/Os during "depopulation in progress" or "depopulation restore
in progress" results in a continuous retry loop until the depopulation
completes or until the I/O retry loop is aborted due to a timeout by
the scsi_cmd_runtime_exceeced().
Depopulation is slow and can take 24+ hours to complete on 20+ TB HDDs.
Most I/Os in the depopulation retry loop end up taking several minutes
before returning the failure to user space.
