scsi: megaraid_sas: NVMe passthrough command support
NVMe passthrough via MFI interface. Current MegaRAID product supports different types of encapsulation via the MFI framework. NVMe native command should be framed by application and it should be embedded in MFI as payload. The driver will provide interface to send the MFI frame along with the payload (in this case, payload is NVMe native command) to the firmware. Driver already has an existing, similar interface for SATA and SMP passthrough. 1. Driver will pass MFI command to the firmware if the latter supports NVMe encapsulated processing (not all SAS3.5 firmware supports this feature). 2. Driver exposes sysfs entry support_nvme_encapsulation. This is required for backward compatibility for applications using earlier driver versions that did not process IOCTL frames and could result in host hang. This is already fixed as part of commit 82add4e1 ("scsi: megaraid_sas: Incorrect processing of IOCTL frames for SMP/STP commands") [mkp: clarified commit message] Signed-off-by: Sumit Saxena <sumit.saxena@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: Shivasharan S <shivasharan.srikanteshwara@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: Martin K.
