[PATCH v3 11/21] nvme-rdma: Use CCR to recover controller that hits an error
From: Mohamed Khalfella
Date: Fri Feb 13 2026 - 23:33:04 EST
An alive nvme controller that hits an error now will move to FENCING
state instead of RESETTING state. ctrl->fencing_work attempts CCR to
terminate inflight IOs. Regardless of the success or failure of CCR
operation the controller is transitioned to RESETTING state to continue
error recovery process.
