Subject: [PATCH 6.6.y 2/3] nvmet: return DHCHAP status codes from nvmet_setup_auth()
Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2026 10:10:32 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260720141033.1500263-2-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260720141033.1500263-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Hannes Reinecke <hare@kernel.org>
[ Upstream commit 44e3c25efae8575e06f1c5d1dc40058a991e3cb2 ]
A failure in nvmet_setup_auth() does not mean that the NVMe
authentication command failed, so we should rather return a protocol
error with a 'failure1' response than an NVMe status.
Also update the type used for dhchap_step and dhchap_status to u8 to
avoid confusions with nvme status. Furthermore, split dhchap_status and
nvme status so we don't accidentally mix these return values.

[dwagner: - use u8 as type for dhchap_{step|status}
- separate nvme status from dhcap_status]
