That's a great analysis, thank you. >However, stable commits 0b84591fdd5e ("scsi: qla2xxx: Fix stuck login session >using prli_pend_timer") introduced in 5.4.19 and 74924e407bf7 ("scsi: qla2xxx: >Retry PLOGI on FC-NVMe PRLI failure") in 5.4.69 were applied in the wrong >order, upstream and chronological-wise with regards to required upstream fixes, >and cherry-picking of the fixes is not possible without a merge conflict. Right, in particular: 74924e407bf7 ("scsi: qla2xxx: Retry PLOGI on FC-NVMe PRLI failure") was modified to work around missing 84ed362ac40c ("scsi: qla2xxx: Dual FCP-NVMe target port support"), which is where the rest of the conflicts are coming from. >The series provides merge conflict resolution and resolves both P2P discovery >and issue_lip issue.

So instead of applying even more modified patches that'll create similar issue in the future, I backed up 0b84591fdd5e and 74924e407bf7, and applied the 4 commits you've pointed out in the "correct" order. I also grabbed 27258a577144 ("scsi: qla2xxx: Add a shadow variable to hold disc_state history of fcport") for completeness. Thanks for diagnosing this issue! Please let me know if something is still broken.
