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? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
