As the devloss API was implemented in the nvmei driver, an evaluation of the nvme transport and the lpfc driver showed dual management of the rports. This creates a bug possibility when the thread count and SAN size increases. The nvmei driver code was based on a very early transport and was not revisited until the devloss API was introduced. Remove the listhead in the driver's rport data structure and the listhead in the driver's lport data structure. Remove all rport_list traversal. Convert the driver to use the nrport (nvme rport) pointer that is now NULL or nonNULL depending on a devloss action. Convert debugfs and nvme_info in sysfs to use the fc_nodes list in the vport.

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.
