2.6.32-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Hannes Reinecke <hare(a)suse.de>

commit c213e1407be6b04b144794399a91472e0ef92aec upstream.

Some arrays are giving I/O errors with ext3 filesystems when
SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE gets a UNIT_ATTENTION. What is happening is that
these commands have no retries, so the UNIT_ATTENTION causes the
barrier to fail. We should be enable retries here to clear any
transient error and allow the barrier to succeed.
