[PATCH v2 0/4] nvmet-fcloop: unblock module removal

[Daniel Wagner]

blktests is not able to unload the FC related modules. It is possible to unload
the modules but it still will not work correctly. The host and the controller
seem to be in a kind of live deadlock:

 nvmet_fc: nvmet_fc_exit_module: targetport list not empty

I think these patches here are not very controversial and should propably go in
even if we still haven't fix for the above scenario.

v2:
  - added additional fixes

v1:
  - initial version
  - https://lore.kernel.org/linux-nvme/20230411092209.12719-1-dwagner@xxxxxxx/

Daniel Wagner (4):
  nvmet-fcloop: Remove remote port from list when unlinking
  nvmet-fcloop: Do not wait on completion when unregister fails
  nvmet-fc: Do not wait in vain when unloading module
  nvmet-fc: Release reference on target port
