However, I don't think looping forever on unit attention is a good idea (there are known error cases where devices return unit attention forever). If the device has device mapper stuff, there should already be a device_handler module intercepting this sense code, so we shouldn't switch paths because of it. If there's no device mapper, I think I'd really rather just add the usual number of retries to the sync cache command. I already said I'd be happy with a patch adding this, as well as one allowing a user configurable timeout for the suspend problem.
