After processing the error, when the command is queued again, the private command structure will not be zeroed and the ioasc could be stale. Per the SISLite specification, the AFU only sets the ioasc in the presence of a failure. Thus, even though the original command succeeds the second time, the command is considered a failure due to stale ioasc. This cycle repeats indefinitely and can cause a hang or IO failure. To fix the issue, clear the ioasc before queuing any command.

I will forward the patch to stable once the patch is in next/master. Unless there is a need to send a V2. Thanks for pointing out Andrew !!
