[RFC 0/2] nvme/loop: Add support for controllers-per-port model

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

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

Hi again folks,

So building on the nvmet/configfs-ng WIP posted yesterday:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=146528147018404&w=2

This series adds support for nvme/loop to utilize a nvme host
controller per nvmet_port, instead of a single hardcoded entry
for nvmet_port pointer access in nvme_loop_queue_rq().

It uses a struct device model following what we've done in
drivers/target/loopback to allow multiple host controllers
to co-exist under configfs, and is driven by the nvmet_port
configfs enable attribute.

Which means that any arbitary number of nvme-loop controllers
can now exist, and each nvmet_subsystem->ports_group can
enable/disable it's own loopback controller!

Here is how it looks in action for controller id 1 + 2:
