Currently, the rport registration is being called from a single work element that is used to process QLA internal "work_list". This work_list is meant for quick and simple task (ie no sleep). The Rport registration process sometime can be delayed by upper layer. This causes back pressure with the internal queue where other jobs are unable to move forward. This patch will schedule the registration process with a new work element (fc_port.reg_work). While the RPort is being registered, the current state of the fcport will not move forward until the registration is done. If the state of the fabric has changed, a new field/next_disc_state will record the next action on whether to 'DELETE' or 'Reverify the session/ADISC'.

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.
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.
