It does.
> nvme_req_needs_retry() checks blk_noretry_request():

While that might have been the "original" idea, it isn't what this code
does. We never set any of the REQ_FAILFAST_* bits in
nvme_ns_head_make_request. In NVMe there aren't really any device
equivalents of REQ_FAILFAST_ that make sense for multipath. The only
one that we map to is the limited retry bit, and that is media centric,
so a failver would not help.
