[ Upstream commit 505363957fad35f7aed9a2b0d8dad73451a80fb5 ] If the user disabled a nvmet namespace, it is removed from the subsystem namespaces list. When nvmet processes a command directed to an nsid that was disabled, it cannot differentiate between a nsid that is disabled vs. a non-existent namespace, and resorts to return NVME_SC_INVALID_NS with the dnr bit set. This translates to a non-retryable status for the host, which translates to a user error. We should expect disabled namespaces to not cause an I/O error in a multipath environment. Address this by searching a configfs item for the namespace nvmet failed to find, and if we found one, conclude that the namespace is disabled (perhaps temporarily). Return NVME_SC_INTERNAL_PATH_ERROR in this case and keep DNR bit cleared.

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.
