[PATCH 7/9] firewire: fw-sbp2: logout and login after failedreconnect

From: Stefan Richter
Date: Sun Feb 03 2008 - 17:12:00 EST


If fw-sbp2 was too late with requesting the reconnect, the target would
reject this. In this case, log out before attempting the reconnect.
Else several firmwares will deny the re-login because they somehow
didn't invalidate the old login.

Also, don't retry reconnects in this situation. The retries won't
succeed either.

These changes improve chances for successful re-login and shorten the
period during which the logical unit is inaccessible.
