This patch (as1142b) consolidates a lot of repetitious code in scsi_io_completion(). It also fixes a few comments. Most importantly, however, it clearly distinguishes among the three sorts of retries that can be done when a command fails to complete: Unprepare the request and resubmit it, so that a new command will be created for it. Requeue the request directly so that it will be retried immediately using the same command. Requeue the request so that it will be retried following a short delay. Complete the remainder of the request with an I/O error.
