DID_NEXUS_FAILURE is internal to the SCSI layer. Drivers must not use it
because:
1. It's not propagated upwards, so SG IO/passthrough users will not see an
error and think a command was successful.
2. There is no handling for it in scsi_decide_disposition() so it results
in entering SCSI error handling.
virtio_scsi gets this when something like qemu returns
VIRTIO_SCSI_S_NEXUS_FAILURE. It looks like qemu returns that error code if
host OS returns DID_NEXUS_FAILURE (qemu's internal
SCSI_HOST_RESERVATION_ERROR maps to DID_NEXUS_FAILURE). This shouldn't
happen for Linux since we don't propagate that error code to userspace.
This has us convert VIRTIO_SCSI_S_NEXUS_FAILURE to a
SAM_STAT_RESERVATION_CONFLICT in case some other virt layer is returning
it. In that case we will still get the reservation confict failure we
expect.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
