Cover letter [PATCH v1 0/3] nvmet-rdma automatic port re-activation

When a RDMA device goes away we must destroy all it's associated RDMA resources. RDMa device resets also manifest as device removal events and a short while after they come back. We want to re-activate a port listener on this RDMA device when it comes back in to the system.

I really detest this series. It just shows how messed up the whole IB core interaction is. The right way to fix this is to stop treating a IB device reset as a device removal, and give it a different event.

And also make sure we have a single unified event system instead of three separate ones.

I've raised this claim before, but got resistance from Doug:

I'm not the sole maintainer any more. If you want to appeal to Jason's better sensibilities in an attempt to get someone on your side and make a difference, I won't take offense.

At that point, in the lack of change in the RDMA interface, this is pretty much what we can do to support device resets...
