From
Subject[PATCH] mmc_spi: do propper retry managment in the block layer - 3rd try
Date
From: Wolfgang Muees <wolfgang.mues@auerswald.de>

o This patch adds a propper retry managment for reading
and writing data blocks for mmc and mmc_spi. Blocks are
retransmitted if the cause of failure might be a transmission
fault. After a permanent failure, we try to read all other
pending sectors, but terminate on write.
This patch was tested with induced transmission errors
by ESD pulses (and survived).

This patch is based on
[PATCH] mmc_spi: don't use EINVAL for possible transmission errors

Suggested changes from Matt Fleming and David Brownell are
incorporated.
