Commands get stuck while Host NVMe-oF controller is in reconnect state. The controller enters into reconnect state when it loses connection with the target. It tries to reconnect every 10 seconds (default) until a successful reconnect or until the reconnect time-out is reached. The default reconnect time out is 10 minutes. Applications are expecting commands to complete with success or error within a certain timeout (30 seconds by default). The NVMe host is enforcing that timeout while it is connected, but during reconnect the timeout is not enforced and commands may get stuck for a long period or even forever. To fix this long delay due to the default timeout, introduce new "fast_io_fail_tmo" session parameter. The timeout is measured in seconds from the controller reconnect and any command beyond that timeout is rejected. The new parameter value may be passed during 'connect'. The default value of -1 means no timeout (similar to current behavior).

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.
