Hi MKP & Co,

This -v2 series contains support for target mode DIF Type1+Type3
emulation within target core, FILEIO, and RAMDISK_MCP device backends,
BIP passthrough of T10 PI within IBLOCK device backends, and DIF/DIX
host support in the tcm_loop fabric driver.

DIF emulation is enabled via a new 'pi_prot_type' device attribute
within configfs for FILEIO + RAMDISK_MCP, which is set after initial
device configuration and before target fabric LUN export occurs.

For IBLOCK backends, protection support is automatically detected via
struct blk_integrity at configuration time, and no additional end-user
setup is required.

For FILEIO backends, format of protection information is exposed via
a new 'pi_prot_format' device attribute, that is used during initial
configuration to format a new $FILENAME.protection file containing
DIF Type1/Type3 style metadata.

Also, the DIF read/write verify emulation has been made generic enough
so it can be used by other backend drivers (eg: FILEIO), as well as
Type4 (16-byte PI) in the near future.

Here is the v1 -> v2 changelog:

- Drop guard_type related definitions
- Update target_prot_op + target_prot_ho definitions (Sagi)
- Drop SCF_PROT + pi_prot_version flag
- Add se_subsystem_api->format_prot() (Sagi)
- Add hw_pi_prot_type device attribute
- Make sbc_check_prot defined as static (Fengguang + Wei)
- Remove unprotected READ/WRITE warning (mkp)
- Populate cmd->prot_type + friends (Sagi)
- Drop SCF_PROT usage
- Select CRC_T10DIF for TARGET_CORE in Kconfig (Fengguang)
- Drop IP checksum logic from sbc_dif_v1_verify (MKP)
- Fix offset on app_tag = 0xffff in sbc_dif_verify_read()
- Drop pi_guard_type + pi_prot_version related code (MKP)
- Add pi_prot_format logic (Sagi)
- Add ->free_prot callback in target_free_device
- Add hw_pi_prot_type read-only attribute
- Add target/iblock blk_integrity + BIP passthrough
- Add target/file DIF protection init/format support
- Add target/file DIF protection support to fd_execute_rw
- Drop unused sg_table from rd_release_device_space (Wei)
- Drop unused sg_table from rd_release_prot_space (Wei)
- Drop rd_release_prot_space call from rd_free_device
- Make rd_execute_rw() to u32 sectors count instead of sector_t

At this point the main TODO item remaining for v3.14 code is to determine
how best to propigate App/Guard/Reference Tag VERIFY failures back up
into IBLOCK device backend code.

MKP has an idea how to go about doing this that will be appearing as
a seperate SCSI-core + IBLOCK patch.

Thank you,
