From 5539d36752eb789f4067a9f88e72177895d56317 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Sandeen Date: Wed, 20 Jul 2016 10:54:09 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] xfs: don't reset b_retries to 0 on every failure With the code as it stands today, b_retries never increments because it gets reset to 0 in the error callback. Remove that, and fix a similar problem where the first retry time was constantly being overwritten, which defeated the timeout tunable as well. We now only set first retry time if a non-zero timeout is set, to match the behavior of only incrementing retries if a retry value is set. This way max retries & timeouts consistently take effect after a tunable is set, rather than acting retroactively on a buffer which has failed at some point in the past and has accumulated state from those prior failures. Thanks to dchinner for talking through this with me.
