[RFC 0/8] nvmet: Add support for multi-tenant configfs

["Nicholas A. Bellinger" <nab@linux-iscsi.org>]

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

Hi folks,

Here's the first pass of a nvmet multi-tenant configfs layout,
following what we've learned in target_core_fabric_configfs.c
wrt to independent operation of storage endpoints.

Here is how the running RFC-v1 code currently looks:

/sys/kernel/config/nvmet/subsystems/
└── nqn.2003-01.org.linux-iscsi.NVMf.skylake-ep
    ├── namespaces
    │   └── 1
    │       └── ramdisk0 -> ../../../../../target/core/rd_mcp_1/ramdisk0
    └── ports
        └── loop
            ├── addr_adrfam
            ├── addr_portid
            ├── addr_traddr
            ├── addr_treq
            ├── addr_trsvcid
            ├── addr_trtype
            └── enable

Namely, it allows existing /sys/kernel/config/target/core/ backends
to be configfs symlinked into ../nvmet/subsystems/$SUBSYS_NQN/
as nvme namespaces.

The series exposes T10-PI from /sys/kernel/config/target/core/ as
ID_NS.ms + ID_NS.dps feature bits, and enables block integrity
support with nvme/loop driver.

Note this series depends upon the following prerequisites of
target-core:

and of course, today's earlier release of nvmet + friends:
