[PATCH 0/2] tcm: Add WRITE_SAME_16 support w/ UNMAP=1 emulation

[Nicholas A. Bellinger]

From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@linux-iscsi.org>

Greetings all,

This series adds initial support for WRITE_SAME_16 w/ UNMAP=1 emulation into
TCM/IBLOCK and TCM/FILEIO subsystem plugins using generic Block Discard logic.
This also includes proper TCM/pSCSI passthrough support to handle all possible
flavours of WRITE_SAME_16 for underlying HW that supports it.

The main items to note here for the IBLOCK+FILEIO emulated (eg: not passthrough)
case are:

	*) WRITE_SAME_16 w/ PBDATA and LBDATA will return INVALID_FIELD_IN_CDB
	*) WRITE_SAME_16 w/o UNMAP=1 will return INVALID_FIELD_IN_CDB
	*) WRITE_SAME_16 w/ UNMAP=1 will make IBLOCK+FILEIO call
	   transport_generic_write_same(), and not actually write the
	   received payload.

The first patch adds the main WRITE_SAME_16 pieces into TCM_Core, adds the new
emulate_tpws device attribute, and updates Block Limits VPD, Thin Provisioning
VPD and READ_CAPACITY_* to take emulate_tpws=1 into account to signal/handle
SBC-3 TPE=1 operation.

The second patch adds support into IBLOCK + FILEIO for using the TCM Core provided
transport_generic_write_same(), and will set both DEV_ATTRIB(dev)->emulate_tp[ws,u]=1
when blk_queue_discard()==1 signals underlying HW supports some flavour of TPE.

So far this series been tested with TCM_Loop -> (IBLOCK,FILEIO,pSCSI) -> scsi_debug
on v2.6.36-rc6 using explict 'sg_write_same -S' callers via SG_IO.

Once again, many thanks to mkp for sharing his knowledge of this area!
