[PATCH] block: add global timeout to requests

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



We can eliminate the SCSI command timed out check entirely if the block
layer does this for us.  The way to do this in block is to check how
long the request has been outstanding if a requeue is requested and
ending it if we've gone over retries * timeout.

This will also eliminate many cases in SCSI where we evade the command
timeout for various reasons (like initial success converted to requeue)
