[petsc-users] DIVERGED_LINEAR_SOLVE in SNES

Li :
You can use '-ksp_max_it 20000' to change maximum iteration count. However, it does not make sense to continue after it fails at 10000 iterations. You should figure out why linear solver diverges. Run your code with '-ksp_monitor' or '-ksp_monitor_true_residual'.

Dear developer,

I am using SNES for solving a nonlinear system.  For some cases, SNES diverged -3 with "DIVERGED_LINEAR_SOLVE" when the linear solver reached its maximum iteration count (i.e -ksp_max_it 10000).
Is that possible to let SNES continue even though the linear solver reaches the maximum number of iterations? Just take the result at 10000 for the Jacobian solution and then update the Newton step?

Best,
Li
