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.
