      ide: Requeue request after DMA timeout · 6072f749
      Herbert Xu authored
      I noticed that my KVM virtual machines were experiencing IDE
      issues resulting in processes stuck on waiting for buffers to
      complete.
      
      The root cause is of course race conditions in the ancient qemu
      backend that I'm using.  However, the fact that the guest isn't
      recovering is a bug.
      
      I've tracked it down to the change made last year to dequeue
      requests at the start rather than at the end in the IDE layer.

          ide: dequeue in-flight request
      
      The problem is that the function ide_dma_timeout_retry does not
      requeue the current request, causing one request to be lost for
      each DMA timeout.
      
      This patch fixes this by requeueing the request.
