Hi Ilya,

some of our Proxmox VE users also report they need to enable rxbounce to
avoid their Windows VMs triggering these errors, see e.g. [1]. With
rxbounce, everything seems to work smoothly, so thanks for adding this
option. :)

We're currently checking how our stack could handle this more
gracefully. From my understanding of the rxbounce option, it seems like
always passing it when mapping a volume (i.e., even if the VM disks
belong to Linux VMs that aren't affected by this issue) might not be a
good idea performance-wise.

Another option is to only pass `rxbounce` when mapping volumes that are
known to be Windows VM disks. This seems like the most sensible option,
but still, I wanted to ask: I see that when rxbounce was originally
introduced [2], the possibility of automatically switching over to
"rxbounce mode" when needed was also discussed. Do you think this is a
direction that krbd might take some time in the future?

Best,

Friedrich
