Linux kernel source tree
737af5f001
Currently, a multipath head disk node is not created for single- ported NVMe adapters or private namespaces with non-unique NSID. However, creating a head node in these cases can help transparently handle transient PCIe link failures. Without a head node, features like delayed removal cannot be leveraged, making it difficult to tolerate such link failures. To address this, this commit introduces nvme_core module parameter multipath_always_on. When multipath_always_on is set to true, it forces the creation of a multipath head node regardless NVMe disk or namespace type. So this option allows the use of delayed removal of head node functionality even for single-ported NVMe disks and private namespaces with a unique NSID and thus helps transparently handle transient PCIe link failures. By default multipath_always_on is set to false, thus preserving the existing behavior. Setting it to true enables improved fault tolerance in PCIe setups. Moreover, please note that enabling this option would also implicitly enable nvme_core.multipath.

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.
