This allows qi_submit_sync() to return back faults to callers.

this might be useful to add a note that the retry logic itself is being discussed
in a separate thread [1]. Here we keep it intact and just make sure no retry for
the newly added user domain cache invalidation.

- if (qi->desc_status[wait_index] == QI_ABORT)
+ if (qi->desc_status[wait_index] == QI_ABORT) {
+ /*
+ * If the caller is interested in the error, no need
+ * to retry, just return the time out error to the
+ * caller.
+ */
+ if (fsts)
+ return -ETIMEDOUT;
+ }
return -EAGAIN;

indent should be adjusted and it changes the original logic which returns
-EAGAIN only if QI_ABORT is set for the wait_index.

oops. this is a mistake. :) '}' should be after 'return -EAGAIN'

the simpler form is:

/* No need to retry if the caller is interested in the timeout error */
if (qi->desc_status[wait_index] == QI_ABORT)
return fsts ? -ETIMEDOUT : -EAGAIN;

otherwise,
