Re: [PATCH libnvme v2 2/2] fabrics: Do not pass disable_sqflow if not supported

From: Sagi Grimberg
Date: Tue Aug 08 2023 - 12:38:37 EST



Only retry a connect attempt with disable_sqflow if the kernel
actually supports this option.

I think you want to check this before the initial call
and avoid the retry altogether.
