When the fcport is about to be deleted we should return EBUSY instead of ENODEV. Only for EBUSY the request will be requeued in a multipath setup. Also in case we have a valid qpair but the firmware has not yet started return EBUSY to avoid dropping the request. Signed-off-by: Daniel Wagner <dwagner@xxxxxxx> --- Hi, During port bounce and fail tests we observed that requests get dropped on a failing path because the driver returned ENODEV and thus the multipath code didn't requeue the request. The tests were done with only the 'fcport && fcport->deleted' condition but Hannes suggested we might as well do the same for 'qpair && !qpair->fw_started'.
