From 01840f9c9d7ae366311302077ace6bc39169399b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Fri, 3 Feb 2006 08:37:08 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] blk: Fix SG_IO ioctl failure retry looping When issuing an SG_IO ioctl through sd that resulted in an unrecoverable error, a nearly infinite retry loop was discovered. This is due to the fact that the block layer SG_IO code is not setting up rq->retries. This patch also fixes up the sg_scsi_ioctl path.
