    aoe: copy fallback timing information on destination failover · fe7252bf

    Commit f3b8e07af774 ("aoe: commands in retransmit queue use new
    destination on failure") omits the copying of the coarse-grained time
    when an AoE command was sent during the failover from one destination
    MAC address on the AoE target to another.
    
    The coarse-grained timing is only used when the system time changes or
    an unlikely length of time has passed since the sending of the AoE
    command.  Users will not be impacted unless their system clock is very
    inaccurate or something unusual (e.g., 10 GbE link reset) happens during
    the period when the aoe driver is handling the failure of a port on the
    AoE target.  Being effected will mean that an AoE target could be
    considered "down" too eagerly.
