During driver unload/reload testing, the NVMe initiator would not re-establish connectivity to NVMe controllers on reload. The failing NVMe array supports concurrent FCP and NVMe operation via different nport_id's. The array was repeatedly sending an ADISC every 2 seconds after PLOGI completed and while NVMe subsystems were executing discovery. The target would continue this state for roughly 45 seconds. The driver's current behavior on ADISC receipt is to validate a the ADISC vs the device and issue a RESUME_RPI to restore transmission. The receipt of the ADISC effectively caused a driver to take actions similar to a logout and login for the remote port, causing the deregistration of the nvme rport and a subsequent re-registration. This caused a constant reset and re-connect of the NVMe controller while this 45s window occurred. There was no need for the state changes as ADISC does not change login state. This patch corrects this behavior by validating if the remoteport is already logged in (MAPPED) and when true, avoids the call to set the ndlp state to MAPPED, which triggers the unreg/re-reg. Thus ADISC does not change the login state of the node.

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.
