From 21f033f7c72e9505c46c6555b019b907dc39dfcd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Keith Busch Date: Tue, 12 Apr 2016 11:13:11 -0600 Subject: NVMe: Skip async events for degraded controllers If the controller is degraded, the driver should stay out of the way so the user can recover the drive. This patch skips driver initiated async event requests when the drive is in this state.
