On tests adding and removing a remote port, calls to nvme_info would eventually show fewer target ports discovered than were present in the san. Additionally, the following error messages were seen: 6031 RemotePort Registration failed err: -116, DID x471301 There is a race condition that exists between the driver and the nvme transport on remote port unregister vs the confirmed deletion. It's possible that the driver may rediscover the remote port and reregister the remote port before a prior unregister delete callback was made (as it rebinded to the prior remoteport structure). However, the driver was coded to expect the callback before seeing the remote port again thus a new registration. The logic results in the driver having an invalid remoteport pointer set. Correct by tracking when waiting for the delete callback. In cases where the ndlp remoteport pointer is updated, it is only cleared when the wait has not been superceded by a prior registration.

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.
