From ed773e66480fdcd06732eb2aa39362599dcd67fa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brian King Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2007 15:25:52 -0500 Subject: [SCSI] scsi_error.c: Add EH Start Unit retry Currently, the scsi error handler will issue a START_UNIT command if the drive indicates it needs its motor started and the allow_restart flag is set in the scsi_device. If, after the scsi error handler invokes a host adapter reset due to error recovery, a device is in a unit attention state AND also needs a START_UNIT, that device will be placed offline. The disk array devices on an ipr RAID adapter will do exactly this when in a dual initiator configuration. This patch adds a single retry to the EH initiated START_UNIT.
