EEH error can be > recoery successfully. > Do you have any question about this new patch? Yes, it's not correct: stall_for is in jiffies not msec, so msleep(stall_for) is taking far too long. Plus you don't know that stall_for is a divisor of timeleft, so timeleft -= stall_for could wrap and cause the retry loop to go on effectively forever. I think the below is the correct patch, so I'll commit it unless there are objections.

The only valid return codes for queuecommand() are 'busy' states, so we need to wait for a bit to allow the LLDD to recover. Based on an earlier patch from Wen Xiong.
