    [SCSI] Reduce error recovery time by reducing use of TURs · 3eef6257

    In error recovery, most scsi error recovery stages will send a TUR command
    for every bad command when a driver's error handler reports success.  When
    several bad commands to the same device, this results in a device
    being probed multiple times.
    
    This becomes very problematic if the device or connection is in a state
    where the device still doesn't respond to commands even after a recovery
    function returns success.  The error handler must wait for the test
    commands to time out.  The time waiting for the redundant commands can
    drastically lengthen error recovery.
    
    This patch alters the scsi mid-layer's error routines to send test commands
    once per device instead of once per bad command.  This can drastically
    lower error recovery time.
