Fixes the BU40N wedge cycle that has been chasing us through
v0.13.18-20. Two changes, both backed by empirical live-hardware
probes recorded in freemkv-private/docs/TEST_PLAN.md:
1. scsi/mod.rs: READ_TIMEOUT_MS 1500 → 10000 ms.
Cold-start seek on the BU40N takes ~1.5 s. The old timeout
cancelled normal reads at the boundary, triggering the kernel's
ABORT/RESET escalation, which the Initio bridge couldn't drain —
firmware-level wedge. 10 s catches every legitimate slow read
(max successful ECC recovery: 2.6 s; cold-start: 1.5 s) with
margin and short-circuits truly bad sectors at ~10 s.
2. disc/mod.rs: Disc::copy bisect-on-fail (replaces skip-forward).
Live data showed the drive fails multi-sector READs in the bad
zone but reads each sector cleanly when asked at bpt=1. Old
skip-forward jumped 845 MB on the first multi-sector failure,
marking everything in between as bad — losing clean territory
sandwiched between bad sectors. New algorithm bisects: split the
failed block in half, retry each half, recurse to single-sector
reads. Sectors recoverable individually are picked up in Pass 1;
only sectors that fail at bpt=1 are marked NonTrimmed for the
patch passes. Stack-based DFS, log2(batch) = 6 levels for the
default 60-sector batch.
Multi-pass machinery is untouched. Pass 2..N walk the mapfile and
become fast no-ops when bisect already recovered everything.
Wedged-drive early-exit, 30 s settle, batch taper, F-R-F-R direction
alternation — all preserved.
New test: integration_progress_and_halt::
test_disc_copy_bisect_recovers_via_single_sector_reads — synthetic
BU40N-pattern reader (multi-sector reads fail, single-sector
succeed). Pre-patch: lost everything to skip-forward. Post-patch:
100 % bytes_good. Plus the 10 sense-key parser tests from the
0.13.20 test-coverage pass.
Empirical recovery on Dune 2 UHD on the BU40N (per TEST_PLAN.md run
log): old algorithm ~25 GB recovered + 6 GB skipped-forward and
mostly lost; new algorithm projects ~99 % recovery in Pass 1.
