> During device discovery read capacity fails with 0x020401 and sets the device size to 0. As a reason any I/O submitted to this path gets killed at sd_prep_fn with BLKPREP_KILL. This patch is to retry for 0x020401. NEED_RETRY in scsi_decide_disposition does not give sufficient time for the device to become ready.
