I thought if you exported a LU through multiple LIO nodes and its ALUA
state was active optimized/non-optimized on those nodes, then you would
have to do similar cleanup across the cluster. For example, don't we
have to fail commands on those other nodes, and then also depending on
the TAS bit value return task aborted statuses?

Ok. For what you need for your NFS cluster work, will you have a
request_queue or block_device or gendisk?
