This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled scsi: ibmvfc: Avoid path failures during live migration to the 5.15-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: scsi-ibmvfc-avoid-path-failures-during-live-migratio.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 58c7ea94eb5e2489cb6e930a5851bc45dcd442f5 Author: Brian King <brking@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Oct 26 13:13:56 2022 -0500 scsi: ibmvfc: Avoid path failures during live migration [ Upstream commit 62fa3ce05d5d73c5eccc40b2db493f55fecfc446 ] Fix an issue reported when performing a live migration when multipath is configured with a short fast fail timeout of 5 seconds and also to have no_path_retry set to fail. In this scenario, all paths would go into the devloss state while the ibmvfc driver went through discovery to log back in. On a loaded system, the discovery might take longer than 5 seconds, which was resulting in all paths being marked failed, which then resulted in a read only filesystem. This patch changes the migration code in ibmvfc to avoid deleting rports at all in this scenario, so we avoid losing all paths.
