[PATCH v5 0/6] nvme-fabrics: short-circuit connect retries

[Daniel Wagner]

The first patch returns only kernel error codes now and avoids overwriting error
codes later. Thje newly introduced helper for deciding if a reconnect should be
attempted is the only place where we have the logic (and documentation).

On the target side I've separate the nvme status from the dhchap status handling
which made it a bit clearer. I was tempted to refactor the code in
nvmet_execute_auth_send to avoid hitting the 80 chars limit but didn't came up
with something nice yet. So let's keep this change at a minimum before any
refactoring attempts.

I've tested with blktests and also an real hardware for nvme-fc.

changes:
v5:
  - nvme: do not mix kernel error code with nvme status
  - nvmet: separate nvme status from dhchap status
  - https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240404154500.2101-1-dwagner@suse.de/

v4:
  - rebased
  - added 'nvme: fixes for authentication errors' series
