Subject: [PATCH] nvme: make prp passthrough usage less scary
Date: Wed, 6 May 2026 06:18:39 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260506131839.2364791-1-kbusch@meta.com> (raw)
From: Keith Busch <kbusch@kernel.org>
The warning is a bit alarming, and it only prints for the very first
non-sgl capable device that receives a passthrough command. Just log an
informational message on initial discovery for every device.
Signed-off-by: Keith Busch <kbusch@kernel.org>
