[PATCH 2/5] nvme-fc: marginal path handling

Tue May 6 08:35:04 PDT 2025
FPIN LI (link integrity) messages are received when the attached
fabric detects hardware errors. In response to these messages I/O
should be directed away from the affected ports, and only used
if the 'optimized' paths are unavailable.
To handle this a new controller flag 'NVME_CTRL_MARGINAL' is added
which will cause the multipath scheduler to skip these paths when
checking for 'optimized' paths. They are, however, still eligible
for non-optimized path selected. The flag is cleared upon reset as then the
faulty hardware might be replaced.
