You can listen on the fc scsi netlink socket for fc_host_event_code. You
get values like:
{ FCH_EVT_LIP, "lip" },
{ FCH_EVT_LINKUP, "link_up" },
{ FCH_EVT_LINKDOWN, "link_down" },
{ FCH_EVT_LIPRESET, "lip_reset" },
{ FCH_EVT_RSCN, "rscn" },
{ FCH_EVT_ADAPTER_CHANGE, "adapter_chg" },
{ FCH_EVT_PORT_UNKNOWN, "port_unknown" },
{ FCH_EVT_PORT_ONLINE, "port_online" },
{ FCH_EVT_PORT_OFFLINE, "port_offline" },
{ FCH_EVT_PORT_FABRIC, "port_fabric" },
{ FCH_EVT_LINK_UNKNOWN, "link_unknown" },
{ FCH_EVT_VENDOR_UNIQUE, "vendor_unique" },
