[PATCH 7/8] aoe: commands in retransmit queue use new destination on failure

From: Ed Cashin
Date: Thu Nov 08 2012 - 19:29:53 EST


When one remote MAC address isn't working as a destination for
AoE commands, the frames used to track information associated
with the AoE commands are moved to a new aoetgt (defined by the
tuple of {AoE major, AoE minor, target MAC address}).

This patch makes sure that the frames on the queue for
retransmits that need to be done are updated to use the new
destination, so that retransmits will be sent through a working
network path.

Without this change, packets on the retransmit queue will be
needlessly retransmitted to the unresponsive destination MAC,
possibly causing premature target failure before there's time
for the retransmit timer to run again, decide to retransmit
again, and finally update the destination to a working MAC
address on the AoE target.
