That drops another conditional. Also, FC caps dev_loss_tmo at SCSI_DEVICE_BLOCK_MAX_TIMEOUT if fail_io_fast_tmo is off; I agree with your reasoning about leaving it unlimited if fast fail is on, but does that still hold if it is off? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
