From a9b589d90e3d7748dae459031c2d912cd9e83c88 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vladislav Bolkhovitin <vst@vlnb.net> Date: Thu, 6 Nov 2008 13:57:52 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] [SCSI] scsi_error: TASK ABORTED status handling improvement This patch improves handling of TASK ABORTED status by Linux SCSI mid-layer. Currently, command returned with this status considered failed and returned to upper layers. It leads to additional error recovery load on file systems and block layer, which sometimes can cause undesired side effects, like I/O errors and file systems corruptions. See http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/1/38, for instance. From other side, TASK ABORTED status is returned by SCSI target if the corresponding command was aborted by another initiator and the target has TAS bit set in the control mode page. So, in the majority of cases commands with TASK ABORTED status should be simply retried. In other cases, maybe_retry path will not retry if no retries are allowed. This patch implement suggestion by James Bottomley from http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=121932916906009&w=2.
