Port issue was fixed, the hbacmd reset would take more than 8 minutes to complete. There were conflicting NVME SGL posting/reposting responsibilities between lpfc_online()/lpfc_sli4_hba_setup() and lpfc_nvme_create_localport(). The lpfc_online() causes a REPOST on existing NVME SGLs which is not released during the fc port reset. However, lpfc_nvme_create_localport() wants to allocate new NVME buffers and post them. Both cancelled out each other which had a side effect of hosing the mailbox handling that was used to remove the sgl lists - causing multiple 60s mbx timeouts. Fix by preserving all SGL lists over the fc port reset.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
