Hi Mike,
Thanks for the detailed input.
I will apply the below changes and will resubmit the patches.

Regards,

I don't think you need it. It sounds like we only care about the port state
when the cmd is completing. For example we have:

1. the case where the cmd times out, we do aborts/resets, then the port
state goes into marginal, then the aborts/resets complete. We want to fail
the cmds without retries.

2. If the port state is in marginal, the cmd times out, we do the
aborts/resets and when we are done if the port state is still marginal we
want to fail the cmd without retries.

3. If the port state is marginal (or any value), before or after the cmd
initially times out, but the port state goes back to online, then when the
aborts/resets complete we want to retry the cmd.

So can we just add a callout to check the port state when the eh has
completed like the untested unfinished patch below:
