In a test that is doing large numbers of cable swaps on the target, the nvme controllers wouldn't reconnect. During the cable swaps, the targets n_port_id would change. This information was passed to the nvme-fc transport, in the new remoteport registration. However, the nvme-fc transport didn't update the n_port_id value in the remoteport struct when it reused an existing structure. Later, when a new association was attempted on the remoteport, the driver's NVME LS routine would use the stale n_port_id from the remoteport struct to address the LS. As the device is no longer at that address, the LS would go into never never land. Separately, the nvme-fc transport will be corrected to update the n_port_id value on a re-registration. However, for now, there's no reason to use the transports values. The private pointer points to the drivers node structure and the node structure is up to date. Therefore, revise the LS routine to use the drivers data structures for the LS. Augmented the debug message for better debugging in the future. Also removed a duplicate if check that seems to have slipped in.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
