Subject: [patch 51/52] [PATCH] cio: improve error recovery for internal I/Os
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2009 16:09:15 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091113150918.461648826@de.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20091113150824.351347652@de.ibm.com

[-- Attachment #1: 150-cio-internal-errors.diff --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 3205 bytes --]

From: Peter Oberparleiter <peter.oberparleiter@de.ibm.com>

Improve error recovery for internal I/Os by repeating each I/O
256 times per path to cope with long-running non-permanent error
conditions. Also retry each path twice to cope with link flapping,
i.e. single paths becoming unavailable in the order in which they
are tried.
