This is a modified patch of what Nikanth submitted a while back (http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/8067/) to make the delay variable a configurable attribute. This applies on top the patch I sent few days back to send multiple activates on pg_init() (http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/agk/patches/2.6/editing/dm-mpath-call-activate-fn-for-each-path-in-pg_init.patch) This applies cleanly on 2.6.30-rc4 and tested there. ------------------------- From: Chandra Seetharaman <sekharan@xxxxxxxxxx> SCSI Device Handlers return SCSI_DH_IMM_RETRY if we could retry immediately and SCSI_DH_RETRY in cases where it is better to retry after some delay. Currently we retry immediately irrespective of SCSI_DH_IMM_RETRY and SCSI_DH_RETRY. This patch adds a user configurable attribute pg_init_delay_secs which specifies the number of seconds to delay before retrying scsi_dh_activate, when it returned SCSI_DH_RETRY. Default for this attribute is set to 2 seconds.
