Hi Daniel,

I agree that proper fc_remote_ports interface is needed for NVMe in
qla2xxx.

There was a similar concern from me when the dev_loss_tmo setting in
debugfs was added to the driver. Arun agreed the debugfs approach is a
crutch but the discussion never took off beyond that:

Daniel, WRT to your patch I don't think we should add one more approach
to set dev_loss_tmo via kernel module parameter as NVMe adopters are
going to be even more confused about the parameter. Just imagine
knowledge bases populated with all sorts of the workarounds, that apply
to kernel version x, y, z, etc :)

What exists for FCP/SCSI is quite clear and reasonable. I don't know why
FC-NVMe rports should be way too different.

Thanks,
Roman
