From: Mike Snitzer on gitlab.com Merge Request: https://gitlab.com/cki-project/kernel-ark/-/merge_requests/1024 BZ: 1948690 Upstream Status: RHEL-only Forward-port RHEL8 NVMe changes to RHEL9. These changes were rejected by Christoph Hellwig (hch is one of upstream's 4 NVMe maintainers). The other (3) upstream NVMe maintainers don't have a problem with these changes, but Christoph is hostile toward any changes that make NVMe work better with dm-multipath (because he wants everyone to use NVMe's native multipathing, doesn't care that others have reasons why they want to use dm-multipath). So unfortunately we need to just keep carrying these changes in RHEL. Can revisit getting these changes to land upstream in time for RHEL10, but I don't care to engage upstream (specifically hch) on this topic at this point in time. Thankfully these NVMe changes are _not_ intrusive, have proven stable/useful in RHEL8 and were easily forward-ported from RHEL8 to RHEL9.
