James, I am having issue with scsi_io_completion routine. During device discovery, READ CAPACITY is failing with 02/04/01. It has been retried 5 times(with NEED_RETRY) but when retry gets exhausted ,scsi_io_completion simply ends the request without doing any delay retry as mentioned by you in below mail. scsi_io_completion routine checks for deferred sense and if not found, it sets error with -EIO, which eventually ends the request and doesnot allow for any more retries. I am seeing deffered error being checked only for REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC command type. Does it meant that command with cmd_type REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC having current error sense should not be retried in scsi_io_completion? If yes, then would it be better to retry in rdac device handler in that case.
