v2.2.2

Summary

Bug fix: During a software upgrade, while migrating the previous last known configuration, an old TID object may not contain a self._cfg member. To avoid crashing the system while loading the old config, one must introspect the old TID object to see if it contains a self._cfg member before trying to access it.

What's Changed

• V1.1.9 by @martin-belanger in #310

Full Changelog: v1.1.8...v1.1.9

v2.1.1

Summary

This release introduces a mechanism to ensure that Connect/Disconnect operations happen in the right order. This can be an issue when a large number of connections are made (> 100) and several of those connections fail. It takes the Linux NVMe driver 3 seconds to time out on a failed connection. And since the driver serializes the creation of connections, it can take several minutes for the kernel to cycle through a large number of failing connection requests. In other words, given 100 connection requests, and if every connection request fails, it will take the kernel 300 seconds (5 minutes) to cycle through all 100 requests. If during that 5 minutes we have changes to the configuration that require that some (or all) of these connections should be removed, we can end up with a Disconnect being requested while the kernel has yet to process the corresponding Connect. This results in Connect/Disconnect being processed in the reverse order.
