H A D | dm-mpath.c | diff 4e2d19e46b507018c6ed15f6c081d8f887ae229c Thu Jan 13 14:00:01 CST 2011 Chandra Seetharaman <sekharan@us.ibm.com> dm mpath: delay activate_path retry on SCSI_DH_RETRY
This patch adds a user-configurable 'pg_init_delay_msecs' feature. Use this feature to specify the number of milliseconds to delay before retrying scsi_dh_activate, when SCSI_DH_RETRY is returned.
SCSI Device Handlers return SCSI_DH_IMM_RETRY if we could retry activation immediately and SCSI_DH_RETRY in cases where it is better to retry after some delay.
Currently we immediately retry scsi_dh_activate irrespective of SCSI_DH_IMM_RETRY and SCSI_DH_RETRY.
The 'pg_init_delay_msecs' feature may be provided during table create or load, e.g.: dmsetup create --table "0 20971520 multipath 3 queue_if_no_path \ pg_init_delay_msecs 2500 ..." mpatha
The default for 'pg_init_delay_msecs' is 2000 milliseconds. Maximum configurable delay is 60000 milliseconds. Specifying a 'pg_init_delay_msecs' of 0 will cause immediate retry.
