As the nvmet layer does not have the concept of a remoteport object, which can be used to identify the entity on the other end of the fabric that is to receive an LS, the hosthandle was introduced. The driver passes the hosthandle, a value representative of the remote port, with a ls request receive. The LS request will create the association. The transport will remember the hosthandle for the association, and if there is a need to initiate a LS request to the remote port for the association, the hosthandle will be used. When the driver loses connectivity with the remote port, it needs to notify the transport that the hosthandle is no longer valid, allowing the transport to terminate associations related to the hosthandle. This patch adds support to the driver for the hosthandle. The driver will use the ndlp pointer of the remote port for the hosthandle in calls to nvmet_fc_rcv_ls_req(). The discovery engine is updated to invalidate the hosthandle whenever connectivity with the remote port is lost.

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.
