I think this caused due to my patch that adds the scsi_noretry_cmd check
in scsi_decide_disposition. We saw this problem exposed in RHEL testing.
Basically what used to happen without my patch is that the command
continuously timed out or we got an error, and we would eventually hit
the cmd->retries and cmd->allowed check and the command would be failed
fairly quietly in some code paths like during setup.
Now scsi_noretry_cmd is returning 0 and that causes us to retry the
command until we hit the check:
disposition = scsi_decide_disposition(cmd);
if (disposition != SUCCESS &&
time_before(cmd->jiffies_at_alloc + wait_for, jiffies)) {
sdev_printk(KERN_ERR, cmd->device,
"timing out command, waited %lus\n",
wait_for/HZ);
disposition = SUCCESS;
}
in scsi_softirq_done so we now see this error message get printed out
for the failure.
Is Mike Anderson's patches that removes scsi_noretry_cmd going to be
merged? If so that will fix the problem. If not then I will make a
different patch.
