Also worth considering is that spending minutes trying to reread
damaged sectors is likely to accelerate your death spiral. More data
may be recoverable if you give up quickly in a first pass, then go
back and manually retry damaged bits with smaller I/Os.

All good input.  But what was being debated here is not so much
the retrying of known-bad sectors, but rather what to do about
the kiBs or MiBs of sectors remaining in a merged request after
hitting a single bad sector mid-way.

Currently, SCSI just abandons the entire remaining workload.
