When connected point to point, the driver does not know the FC4's supported by the other end. In Fabrics, it can query the nameserver. Thus the driver must send PRLIs for the FC4s it supports and enable support based on the acc(ept) or rej(ect) of the respective FC4 PRLI. Currently the driver supports SCSI and NVMe PRLIs. Unfortunately, although the behavior is per standard, many devices have come to expect only SCSI PRLIs. In this particular example, the NVMe PRLI is properly RJT'd but the target decided that it must LOGO after seeing the unexpected NVMe PRLI. The LOGO causes the sequence to restart and login is now in an infinite failure loop. Fix the problem by having the driver, on a pt2pt link, remember NVMe PRLI accept or reject status across logout as long as the link stays "up". When retrying login, if the prior NVMe PRLI was rejected, it will not be sent on the next login.

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.
