Hannes sent this patch a bit more than a year ago, but it got silently dropped. When using the pNFS SCSI layout we can easily hit a failover "livelock" without it as the reservation conflicts on a newly detected device that doesn't have layouts yet, or after a fency will keep failing over from one path to another for no reason at all. Any chance to get it into mainline now? -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
