The nvmf_check_if_ready() checks that were added are very simplistic. As such, the routine allows a lot of cases to fail ios during windows of reset or re-connection. In cases where there are not multi-path options present, the error goes back to the callee - the filesystem or application. Not good. The common routine was rewritten and calling syntax slightly expanded so that per-transport is_ready routines don't need to be present. The transports now call the routine directly. The routine is now a fabrics routine rather than an inline function. The routine now looks at controller state to decide the action to take. Some states mandate io failure. Others define the condition where a command can be accepted. When the decision is unclear, a generic queue-or-reject check is made to look for failfast or multipath ios and only fails the io if it is so marked. Otherwise, the io will be queued and wait for the controller state to resolve. Admin commands issued via ioctl share a live admin queue with commands from the transport for controller init. The ioctls could be intermixed with the initialization commands. It's possible for the ioctl cmd to be issued prior to the controller being enabled. To block this, the ioctl admin commands need to be distinguished from admin commands used for controller init. Added a USERCMD nvme_req(req)->rq_flags bit to reflect this division and set it on ioctls requests. As the nvmf_check_if_ready() routine is called prior to nvme_setup_cmd(), ensure that commands allocated by the ioctl path (actually anything in core.c) preps the nvme_req(req) before starting the io. This will preserve the USERCMD flag during execution and/or retry.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
