Hi Keith,

Do you think we can return with BLK_EH_NOT_HANDLED?
enum blk_eh_timer_return {
         BLK_EH_NOT_HANDLED,
         BLK_EH_HANDLED,
         BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER,
};

Probably need to change the following return value as well.
         /*
          * Reset immediately if the controller is failed
          */
         if (nvme_should_reset(dev, csts)) {
                 nvme_warn_reset(dev, csts);
                 nvme_dev_disable(dev, false);
                 nvme_reset_ctrl(&dev->ctrl);
                 return BLK_EH_HANDLED;
         }

Let me know. I can re-build the kernel and try it.

Thanks,
Wendy
