One more patch that has been sent long ago and obviously lost. Currently new SCSI error handling will happily loop indefinitely on innocent errors like media error (unreadable sector as example). The patch simply adds reasonable watchdog to break out of this loop. It _does_ fix the problem, I was lucky to have media where I could validate it :)
I resend it because it is the obvious bug fix that must be included. -andrey
