This is the point where you need to reset also auth config as this may
have changed and the host will not create a new controller but rather
re-authenticate on the existing controller.

i.e.

+                       if (!req->sq->qid) {
+                               nvmet_destroy_auth(ctrl);
+                               if (nvmet_setup_auth(ctrl) < 0) {
+                                       pr_err("Failed to setup 
re-authentication\n");
+                                       goto done_failure1;
+                               }
+                       }

Not sure. We have two paths how re-authentication can be triggered.
The one is from the host, which sends a 'negotiate' command to the 
controller (ie this path).  Then nothing on the controller has 
changed, and we just need to ensure that we restart negotiation.
IE we should _not_ reset the authentication (as that would also remove 
the controller keys, which haven't changed). We should just ensure 
that all ephemeral data is regenerated. But that should be handled 
in-line, and I _think_ I have covered all of that.
The other path to trigger re-authentication is when changing values on 
the controller via configfs. Then sure we need to reset the controller 
data, and trigger reauthentication.
And there I do agree, that path isn't fully implemented / tested.
But should be started whenever the configfs values change.
Actually, having re-read the spec I'm not sure if the second path is 
correct.
As per spec only the _host_ can trigger re-authentication. There is no 
provision for the controller to trigger re-authentication, and given 
that re-auth is a soft-state anyway (ie the current authentication stays 
valid until re-auth enters a final state) I _think_ we should be good 
with the current implementation, where we can change the controller keys
via configfs, but they will only become active once the host triggers
re-authentication.
Agree, so the proposed addition is good with you?
And indeed, that's the only way how it could work, otherwise it'll be 
tricky to change keys in a running connection.
If we were to force renegotiation when changing controller keys we would 
immediately fail the connection, as we cannot guarantee that controller 
_and_ host keys are changed at the same time.
Exactly, changing the hostkey in the controller must not trigger
re-auth, the host will remain connected and operational as it
authenticated before. As the host re-authenticates or reconnect
it needs to authenticate against the new key.
