Introduce a recovery hard reset to handle reset failure as a result of change of device context following a transport event, such as a backing device failover or partition migration. These operations reset the device context to its initial state. If this occurs during a reset, any initialization commands are likely to fail with an invalid state error as backing device firmware requests reinitialization. When this happens, make one more attempt by performing a hard reset, which frees any resources currently allocated and performs device initialization. If a transport event occurs during a device reset, a flag is set which will trigger a new hard reset following the completionof the current reset event.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
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.
