+/**
+ * nvmet_fc_invalidate_host - transport entry point called by an LLDD
+ *                       to remove references to a hosthandle for LS's.
+ *
+ * The nvmet-fc layer ensures that any references to the hosthandle
+ * on the targetport are forgotten (set to NULL).  The LLDD will
+ * typically call this when a login with a remote host port has been
+ * lost, thus LS's for the remote host port are no longer possible.
+ *
+ * If an LS request is outstanding to the targetport/hosthandle (or
+ * issued concurrently with the call to invalidate the host), the
+ * LLDD is responsible for terminating/aborting the LS and completing
+ * the LS request. It is recommended that these terminations/aborts
+ * occur after calling to invalidate the host handle to avoid additional
+ * retries by the nvmet-fc transport. The nvmet-fc transport may
+ * continue to reference host handle while it cleans up outstanding
+ * NVME associations. The nvmet-fc transport will call the
+ * ops->host_release() callback to notify the LLDD that all references
+ * are complete and the related host handle can be recovered.
+ * Note: if there are no references, the callback may be called before
+ * the invalidate host call returns.
+ *
+ * @target_port: pointer to the (registered) target port that a prior
+ *              LS was received on and which supplied the transport the
+ *              hosthandle.
+ * @hosthandle: the handle (pointer) that represents the host port
+ *              that no longer has connectivity and that LS's should
+ *              no longer be directed to.
