When there is a scsi command timed-out or failed, the scsi eh tries a thorugh recovery, which is necessary for non-redundant systems. However, the thorugh recovery usually takes much time, which is not acceptable for misson critical systems. To improve this latency, if we are working on a redundant system, we should avoid the scsi eh for its long time failing recovery, and quick failover to another path.
This set of patches is trying to implement above.
NOTE: the userland tools need to eusure the environment restriction, which will be implemented later.
Thanks, Ren
