In a test with high nvme remote port counts connected via a multi-hop FC switch config where switches were systematically reset (e.g. fabric partitioning and re-establishment), the nvme remote ports would switch addresses based on the switch reconfiguration events. The driver would get into a situation where the nvme port changed address, PLOGI and PRLI would succeed nvme transport registration occurred, but subsequent LS requests by the nvme subsystem failed due to a bad ndlp state and connectivity to the device failed. The driver hit a race condition on multiple devices that address swapped simultaneously. In cases where the driver notices the remote port structure came back as the same value as previously (meaning a nvme_rport structure was re-enabled and did not go through devloss_tmo/connect_tmo_failures on all controllers) the driver would unconditionally exit assuming the ndlp information was correct. But, if the ndlp's had been swapped, the ndlp had stale port state information, which when used by the LS request commands, would fail the commands. Fix by checking whether a node swap had occurred, and only exit if no ndlp swap had occurred.

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.
