I have added a comment above the definition of nvme_ctrl_state as below:
+/*
+ * RESET_PREPARE - mark the state of scheduling gap and disable procedure
+ * RESETTING - nvme-pci, nvmet loop use it to mark the state of setup
+ * procedure
+ * RECONNECTING - nvme-fc, nvme-rdma use it to mark the state of setup
+ * and reconnect procedure
+ */

Consequently, nvme-fc/rdma don't use RESETTING state any more, but only RESET_PREPARE.

Thanks
