In pt-2-pt mode, the initiator does not log into the target after a PRLI error. In pt-2-pt mode, the target responded to the PRLI by sending a LOGO. The LOGO causes all ELS and I/Os to be aborted. This caused the PRLI to fail. The PRLI completion path caused the discovery node to be dropped to avoid being stick in an UNUSED (not logged in) state. As the node was dropped there is no retry of the login and as it is pt-2-pt, there is no RSCN to retrigger discovery. Thus the other end is not seen by the OS. Fix by ensuring the discovery node is not dropped if connecting pt-2-pt. This will cause PLOGI to be retried.

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.
