A test scenario encountered an unload hang while an FLOGI ELS was in flight when a link down condition occurred. The driver fails unload as it never releases the fport node. For most nodes, when the link drops, devloss tmo is started and the timeout will cause the final node release. For the Fport, as it has not yet registered with the SCSI transport, there is no devloss timer to be started, so there is no final release. Additionally, the link down sequence causes ABORTS to be issued for pending ELS's. The completions from the ABORTS perform the release of node references. However, as the adapter is being reset to be unloaded, those completions will never occur. Fix by the following: - In the ELS cleanup, recognize when unloading and place the ELS's on a different list that immediately cleans up/completes the ELS's. It's recognized that this condition primarily affects only the fport, with other ports having normal clean up logic that handles things. - Resolve the devloss issue by, when cleaning up nodes on after link down, recognizing when the fabric node does not have a completed state (its state is UNUSED) and removing a reference so the node can delete after the ELS reference is released.

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.
