I'm sorry I have to retract this statement. When I did some changes
on my storage array, it generated RSCNs and therefore I/O briefly
failed, causing timeouts and path failovers.
I've attached the log of the event from the host running the patched
kernel, and you'll see the -EEXIST message and call trace near the end.
I'm sorry that I can't reproduce this much, because the RSCNs affect
all hosts connected to the SAN, including a number of production
systems which I can't touch more than necessary - unless if you know of
any way to make the HBA drivers (qla2xxx/lpfc) to ignore all RSCN
updates so that I/O is unaffected by them (I'd be forever grateful,
too).
Regards
