In some scenarios, some multipath software setup places the REQ_FAILFAST_DEV flag on I/O to prevent retries and immediately switch to other paths for issuing I/O commands. This will reflect on the NVMe read and write commands with the limited retry flag. However, the current NVMe target side does not handle the limited retry flag, and the target's underlying driver still retries the I/O. This will result in the I/O not being quickly switched to other paths, ultimately leading to increased I/O latency. When the nvme target receive an rw command with limited retry flag, handle it in block backend by setting the REQ_FAILFAST_DEV flag to bio.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
