Currently the nvme_req_needs_retry() applies several checks to see if a retry is allowed. On of those is whether the current time has exceeded the start time of the io plus the timeout length. This check, if an io times out, means there is never a retry allowed for the io. Which means applications see the io failure. Remove this check and allow the io to timeout, like it does on other protocols, and retries to be made. On the FC transport, a frame can be lost for an individual io, and there may be no other errors that escalate for the connection/association. The io will timeout, which causes the transport to escalate into creating a new association, but the io that timed out, due to this retry logic, has already failed back to the application and things are hosed.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
