Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

When a host is configured with a few LUNs and I/O is running, injecting
FC faults repeatedly leads to path recovery problems. The LUNs have 4
paths each and 3 of them come back active after say an FC fault which
makes 2 of the paths go down, instead of all 4. This happens after
several iterations of continuous FC faults.
Reason here is that we're returning an I/O error whenever we're
encountering sense code 06/04/0a (LOGICAL UNIT NOT ACCESSIBLE, ASYMMETRIC
ACCESS STATE TRANSITION) instead of retrying.

Currently storvsc_timeout is only used in storvsc_sdev_configure(), and
5s and 10s are used elsewhere. It turns out that rarely the 5s is not
enough on Azure, so let's use storvsc_timeout everywhere.
In case a timeout happens and storvsc_channel_init() returns an error,
close the VMBus channel so that any host-to-guest messages in the
channel's ringbuffer, which might come late, can be safely ignored.
Add a "const" to storvsc_timeout.

CXL has a symbol dependency on einj_core.ko, so if einj_init() fails then
cxl_core.ko fails to load. Prior to the faux_device_create() conversion,
einj_probe() failures were tracked by the einj_initialized flag without
failing einj_init().
Revert to that behavior and always succeed einj_init() given there is no
way, and no pressing need, to discern faux device-create vs device-probe
failures.
This situation arose because CXL knows proper kernel named objects to
trigger errors against, but acpi-einj knows how to perform the error
injection. The injection mechanism is shared with non-CXL use cases. The
result is CXL now has a module dependency on einj-core.ko, and init/probe
failures are handled at runtime.
