[PATCH 2/2] nvme: Do not re-authenticate queues with no prior authentication

Hannes Reinecke hare at kernel.org
Tue Apr 22 02:15:56 PDT 2025


When sending 'connect' the queues can figure out from the return code
whether authentication is required or not. But reauthentication doesn't
disconnect the queues, so this check is not available.
Rather we need to check whether the queue had been authenticated initially
to figure out if we need to reauthenticate.
