Did you subsequently reconnect the target and confirm appropriate behavior?

Subject: [PATCH] Infiniband srp fast failover patch. Currently ib_srp does not do anything on receiving a DREQ from the target, it only sends a response back. Further it also does not monitor port (down) events. I have patched srp to remove scsi devices when a port down event is received or if the target sends a DREQ. Currently even though the target notifies the initiator of its intentions of going away, the initiator ignores that information. Later the initiator gets upset when the devices "suddenly" disappear resulting in srp initiating an error recovery process which takes a long time. This caused high failover latencies as compared to fibre channel. In my experiments with RHEL 6.0 and 6.2 I encountered failover time that exceeded 2 minutes and 20 seconds (despite tweaking /etc/multipath.conf and /sys/block/<>/timeout). With this patch the failover takes 30 seconds. I have tested this patch with and without a switch. Yours, etc. Karan
