There is a reason why I posted this new patchset :-) (The old patchset had a bug where it wouldn't abort the TUR send by multipaths path-checker. Which were causing delays during switchover. This version now does terminate them properly) (Incidentally, it was the non-working scsi_noretry_cmd() which caused this bug :-) > This approach may not work for some LLDDs as you said, but I wonder > whether SAS is applicable(whether there will be later patches for > SAS). > SAS should be applicable for this, too.
