4.2.8-ckt5 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ---8<------------------------------------------------------------ From: Hannes Reinecke <hare@xxxxxxx> commit d2d06d4fe0f2cc2df9b17fefec96e6e1a1271d91 upstream. If MODE SELECT returns with sense '05/91/36' (command lock violation) it should always be retried without counting the number of retries. During an HBA upgrade or similar circumstances one might see a flood of MODE SELECT command from various HBAs, which will easily trigger the sense code and exceed the retry count.
