From 845cc4ee8e64a4d61bef271c0fc5d19486d8fc17 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Maurizio Lombardi Date: Fri, 29 Nov 2024 15:17:06 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] nvme-fabrics: handle zero MAXCMD without closing the connection [ Upstream commit 88c23a32b851e36adc4ab36f796d9b711f47e2bb ] The NVMe specification states that MAXCMD is mandatory for NVMe-over-Fabrics implementations. However, some NVMe/TCP and NVMe/FC arrays from major vendors have buggy firmware that reports MAXCMD as zero in the Identify Controller data structure. Currently, the implementation closes the connection in such cases, completely preventing the host from connecting to the target. Fix the issue by printing a clear error message about the firmware bug and allowing the connection to proceed. It assumes that the target supports a MAXCMD value of SQSIZE + 1. If any issues arise, the user can manually adjust SQSIZE to mitigate them.
