[dm-devel] [PATCH v3 3/4] nvme: introduce FAILUP handling for REQ_FAILFAST_TRANSPORT

[Mike Snitzer]

If REQ_FAILFAST_TRANSPORT is set it means the driver should not retry
IO that completed with transport errors. REQ_FAILFAST_TRANSPORT is
set by multipathing software (e.g. dm-multipath) before it issues IO.

Update NVMe to allow failover of requests marked with either
REQ_NVME_MPATH or REQ_FAILFAST_TRANSPORT. This allows such requests
to be given a disposition of either FAILOVER or FAILUP respectively.
FAILUP handling ensures a retryable error is returned up from NVMe.

Introduce nvme_failup_req() for use in nvme_complete_rq() if
nvme_decide_disposition() returns FAILUP. nvme_failup_req() ensures
the request is completed with a retryable IO error when appropriate.
