Re: [Suspected-Phishing]Re: [PATCH V3 1/2] nvme: split resetting state into reset_prepate and resetting

From: Sagi Grimberg

After Sagi's nvme-rdma: fix concurrent reset and reconnect, the rdma ctrl state is changed to RECONNECTING state
after some clearing and shutdown work, then some initializing procedure, no matter reset work path or error recovery path.
The fc reset work also does the same thing.
So if we define the range that RESET_PREPARE includes scheduling gap and disable and clear work, RESETTING includes initializing
procedure, RECONNECTING is very similar with RESETTING.

Maybe we could do like this;
In nvme fc/rdma
- set state to RESET_PREPARE, queue reset_work/err_work
- clear/shutdown works, set state to RECONNECTING

Should be fine.

In nvme pci
- set state to RESET_PREPARE, queue reset_work
- clear/shutdown works, set state to RESETTING
- initialization, set state to LIVE

Given that we split reset state and we have a clear symmetry between
the transports, do we want to maybe come up with a unique state that is
coherent across all transports?

Maybe we rename them to NVME_CTRL_SHUTTING_DOWN and
NVME_CTRL_ESTABLISHING? I'm open for better names..
