I think at least we cannot always retry unconditionally. Failure is 
better than hung becuase users can deal with failures. They can retry 
from the userspace. But if the process stuck in kernel, it is a disaster 
for the userspace and they can do nothing. Is there a way to limit the 
times of retry?

Thanks,
Jason
