James Smart cf1a1d3e2d scsi: lpfc: Fix random heartbeat timeouts during heavy IO
NVME targets appear to randomly disconnect from the initiator when
running heavy IO.

The error is due to the host aggregate (across all controllers) io load
was beyond the maximum exchange count for nvme on the adapter. The
driver was properly returning a resource busy status, but the io load
was so great heartbeat commands would be bounced and not have a
successful retry within the fuzz amount for the nvme heartbeat (yes, a
very high io load!). Thus the target was terminating the controller due
to a keep alive failure.

Resolve by reserving a few exchanges (by counters) which can be used
when the adapter is out of normal exchanges and the command is a NVME
heartbeat command. As counters are used, while the reserved command is
outstanding, as soon as any other exchange completes, the counters are
adjusted and the reserved count is replenished. The heartbeat completes
execution in a normal fashion.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
