When a request is queued failed, blk_status_t is directly returned to the blk-mq. If blk_status_t is not BLK_STS_RESOURCE, BLK_STS_DEV_RESOURCE, BLK_STS_ZONE_RESOURCE, blk-mq call blk_mq_end_request to complete the request with BLK_STS_IOERR. In two scenarios, the request should be retried and may succeed. First, if work with nvme multipath, the request may be retried successfully in another path, because the error is probably related to the path. Second, if work without multipath software, the request may be retried successfully after error recovery. If the request is complete with BLK_STS_IOERR in blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list. The state of request may be changed to MQ_RQ_IN_FLIGHT. If free the request asynchronously such as in nvme_submit_user_cmd, in extreme scenario the request will be repeated freed in tear down. If a non-resource error occurs in queue_rq, should directly call nvme_complete_rq to complete request and set the state of request to MQ_RQ_COMPLETE. nvme_complete_rq will decide to retry, fail over or end the request.

I don't understand this. There are errors that may not be related to anything that is pathing related (sw bug, memory leak, mapping error, etc, etc) why should we return this one-shot error?
