Hi,

During array upgrade tests with NVMe/FC on systems equiped with QLogic
HBAs we faced the problem with the default setting of dev_loss_tmo.

When the default timeout hit after 60 seconds the file system went
into read only mode. The fix was to set the dev_loss_tmo to infinity
(note this patch can't handle this).

For lpfc devices we could use the sysfs interface under
fc_remote_ports which exposed the dev_loss_tmo for SCSI and NVMe
rports.

The QLogic only expose the rports via fc_remote_ports if SCSI is used.
There is the debugfs interface to set the dev_loss_tmo but this has
two issues. First, it's not watched by udevd hence no rules work. This
could be somehow worked around by setting it statically, but that is
really only an option for testing. Even if the debugfs interface is
used there is a bug in the code. In qla_nvme_register_remote() the
value 0 is assigned to dev_loss_tmo and the NVMe core will use it's
default value 60 (this code path is exercised if the rport droppes
twice).

Anyway, this patch is just to get the discussion going. Maybe the
driver could implement the fc_remote_port interface? Hannes was
pointing out it might make sense to think about an controller sysfs
API as there is already a host and the NVMe protocol is all about host
and controller.

Thanks,
Daniel
