Several errors have occurred where the adapter stops or fails but does not raise the register values for the driver to detect failure. Thus driver is unaware of the failure. The failure typically results in I/O timeouts, the I/O timeout handler failing (after several seconds), and the error handler escalating recovery policy and resulting in more errors. Eventually, the driver is in a position where things have spiraled and it can't do recovery because other recovery ops are still outstanding and it becomes unusable. Resolve the situation by having the I/O timeout handler (actually a els, SCSI I/O, NVMe ls, or NVMe I/O timeout), in addition to aborting the I/O, perform a mailbox command and look for a response from the hardware. If the mailbox command fails, it will mark the adapter offline and then invoke the adapter reset handler to clean up. The new I/O timeout test will be limited to a test every 5s. If there are multiple I/O timeouts concurrently, only the 1st I/O timeout will generate the mailbox command. Further testing will only occur once a timeout occurs after a 5s delay from the last mailbox command has expired.
