2.6.30-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Kashyap, Desai commit 6bd4e1e4d6023f4da069fd68729c502cc4e6dfd0 upstream. This restriction is introduced just to avoid loop of config_request. Retry must be limited so we have restricted config request to maximum 2 times.
