Hello Dave,

Have you already been able to make some progress with this work ? If the
patches for moving the shared parts of dev_loss_tmo / fast_io_fail_tmo
handling from scsi_transport_fc to scsi_transport_template would be
available in a reasonable timeframe I could adapt my ib_srp patch series
to take advantage of that work.

Bart.
