[dm-devel] [PATCH 3/7] fc class: Add support for new transport errors

From: Mike Christie <michaelc at cs.wisc.edu>

When we block a rport and the driver implements the terminate
callback we will fail IO that was running quickly. However
IO that was in the scsi_device/block queue sits there until
the dev_loss_tmo fires, and this can make it look like IO is
lost because new IO will get executed but that IO stuck in
the blocked queue sits there for some time longer.

With this patch when the fast io fail tmo fires, we will
fail the blocked IO and any new IO. This patch also allows
all drivers to partially support the fast io fail tmo. If the
terminate io callback is not implemented, we will still fail blocked
IO and any new IO, so multipath can handle that. This means that for
drivers like qla2xxx which seem to fail the IO when the error is first
detected this will then allow drivers like lpfc and qla2xxx to have the
IO flushed to the upper layers when the fast io fail tmo is fired.

This patch also allows the fc and iscsi classes to implement the
same behavior. The timers are just unfornately named differently.

The next patches will convert the drivers to support this.

This patch has been lightly tested with lpfc and qla2xxx. I am not able
to test the role change handling.
