Eventually the sclp interface completes the request and updates some fields in the request buffer which leads to a corrupted tty pages list. The next time function sclp_tty_write_room is called, the corrupted list will be traversed, resulting in an oops. To avoid this remove the busy retry limit and increase retry intervals.
