Sagi,

This patch is missing the change to nvme_rdma_device_unplug().  That is my
mistake.  Since patch 6 removes that part of the unplug logic, the omission is
benign for the series, but it should be fixed so that this patch in and of
itself fixes the problem it is addressing regardless of whether patch 6 is
applied.  I can fix this up if we decide patch 6 is the correct approach...


Steve.
