Subject: [PATCH v2 2/7] nvme-multipath: numa support for marginal paths
Date: Wed, 2 Sep 2026 16:05:42 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260902200547.184734-3-jtaubepe@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260902200547.184734-1-jtaubepe@redhat.com>
FPIN LI (link integrity) messages are received when the attached
fabric detects hardware errors. In response to these messages I/O
should be directed away from the affected ports, and only used
if no other non-marginal paths are available.
To handle this a new controller flag 'NVME_CTRL_MARGINAL' is added
which will cause the multipath scheduler to skip these paths when
checking for 'optimized' paths.
Signed-off-by: Jesse Taube <jtaubepe@redhat.com>
---
This is a distinct change from the previous commit
which treated marginal paths as non-optimized but still usable.
This changes the priority of marginal paths to be lower than
non-optimized paths.
V10 -> V1:
- New commit
V1 -> V2:
- Rewrite
