Some iSCSI targets went the traditional export N ports and then allowed
the initiator to multipath over them. Other targets went the opposite
direction and export 1 port, and then software on the target side
performs load balancing and failover to other targets via a iscsi
specific feature or IP takover.
The problem for the 2nd type of config is we quickly run out of our
five retries and get IO errors. In these setups we want to reduce
resource use on the initaitor side so we only wanted the one session
and no dm-multipath. To handle traditional multipath operations like
failover we do IP takover on the target side. So we would have a
iscsi target running on node1. Some monitoring software decides it's
dead or the node is overloaded, so it starts the iscsi target on
node2. The problem is for the failover case where we might have the
equivalent of a dm-multipath temp all paths down, or we just have to
try more than 5 nodes before finding a good one.
To handle this type of issue, this patch allows the user to config
the disk cmd retries from -1 to the current max of 5. -1 means
infinite retries and should be used for setups where some other
setting is going to control when to fail. For example iscsi has the
replacement/recovery timeout and fc (some users have used FC with
NPIV and done something similar as IP takover) has
dev_loss_tmo/fast_io_fail which will eventually expire and fail IO.
Note:
One alternative to this patch would be to make it transport class
setting, then have it hook in to where we can config the
scsi_cmnd->allowed value. I put the setting in sd_mod because I
thought users might want to lower retries for the general case.
