From b21a41385118f9a6af3cd96ce71090c5ada52eb5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: James Bottomley Date: Fri, 5 Aug 2005 21:45:40 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] [SCSI] add global timeout to the scsi mid-layer There are certain rogue devices (and the aic7xxx driver) that return BUSY or QUEUE_FULL forever. This code will apply a global timeout (of the total number of retries times the per command timer) to a given command. If it is exceeded, the command is completed regardless of its state. The patch also removes the unused field in the command: timeout and timeout_total. This solves the problem of detecting an endless loop in the mid-layer because of BUSY/QUEUE_FULL bouncing, but will not recover the device. In the aic7xxx case, the driver can be recovered by sending a bus reset, so possibly this should be tied into the error handler?
