I'm cannot take this as proposed.
If you're going to do something like this, the retries need to be
bounded. And retry should only be possible for select cases
(e.g. "verity: Data device lookup failed", which is emitted due to
dm_get_device failure with a return -ENODEV).
So please narrow this as much as possible (by only allowing retry if
-ENODEV) and bound the retries to a finite amount.. 5? 10? 20? *shrug*
And please take care to use variable names that are more appropriate
("fail" is not one of them when you're writing retry code)
