I think its the opposite. If we failed with DNR, you should assume
that either the controller wants the host to retry, or its a
path/transport error. So we need to leave this namespace alone and
assume that when the host is connected back to the controller, the
scan_work will revalidate again.

So you should fail the csi_check only if you see a DNR error status.
