Understood.  I thought the opposite way about FAILFAST in case with
acre, if device is enabled with acre, all commands would be retried
regardless to FAILFAST...  Thanks for pointing that out!

How do you think which one is right choice to go with if a user-space
application(e.g., nvme-cli) wants a command to be retired in case of
ACRE && Error && !DNR:

  - User-space application should figure out !DNR and retry the command.
    (Maybe we are not able to easily figure out exact status code from
    the user-space application by the return value).

  - Driver should retry the command right before putting result up to
    the user-space even it's a FAILFAST request.

Thanks,
