Commit32566a6f1a("scsi: lpfc: Remove NLP_RELEASE_RPI flag from nodelist structure") introduced a regression with SLI-3 adapters (e.g. LPe12000 8Gb) where a Link Down / Link Up such as caused by disabling an host FC switch port would result in the devices remaining in the transport-offline state and multipath reporting them as failed. This problem was not seen with newer SLI-4 adapters. The problem was caused by portions of the patch which removed the functions __lpfc_sli_rpi_release() and lpfc_sli_rpi_release() and all their callers. This was presumably because with the removal of the NLP_RELEASE_RPI flag there was no need to free the rpi. However, __lpfc_sli_rpi_release() and lpfc_sli_rpi_release() which calls it reset the NLP_UNREG_INP flag. And, lpfc_sli_def_mbox_cmpl() has a path where __lpfc_sli_rpi_release() was called in a particular case where NLP_UNREG_INP was not otherwise cleared because of other conditions. Restoring the else clause of this conditional and simply clearing the NLP_UNREG_INP flag appears to resolve the problem with SLI-3 adapters. It should be noted that the code path in question is not specific to SLI-3, but there are other SLI-4 code paths which may have masked the issue.

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 reStructuredText 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.
