+/**
+ * fc_timed_out - FC Transport I/O timeout intercept handler
+ *
+ * @scmd:       The SCSI command which timed out
+ *
+ * This routine protects against error handlers getting invoked while a
+ * rport is in a blocked state, typically due to a temporarily loss of
+ * connectivity. If the error handlers are allowed to proceed, requests
+ * to abort i/o, reset the target, etc will likely fail as there is no way
+ * to communicate with the device to perform the requested function. These
+ * failures may result in the midlayer taking the device offline, requiring
+ * manual intervention to restore operation.
+ *
+ * This routine, called whenever an i/o times out, validates the state of
+ * the underlying rport. If the rport is blocked, it returns
+ * EH_RESET_TIMER, which will continue to reschedule the timeout.
+ * Eventually, either the device will return, or devloss_tmo will fire,
+ * and when the timeout then fires, it will be handled normally.
+ * If the rport is not blocked, normal error handling continues.
+ *
+ * Notes:
+ *      This routine assumes no locks are held on entry.
