Authentication application may be running and in the past tried to probe driver (app_start) but was unsuccessful. This could be due to the bsg layer not being ready to service the request. On a successful link up, driver will use the netlink Link Up event to notify the app to retry the app_start call. In another case, app does not poll for new NPIV host. This link up event would notify app of the presence of a new SCSI host.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
