[RFC PATCH v3 0/3] Async nvme passthrough over io_uring

[Kanchan Joshi <joshi.k@samsung.com>]

This series adds async passthrough capability for nvme block-dev over
iouring_cmd. The patches are on top of Jens uring-cmd branch:
https://git.kernel.dk/cgit/linux-block/log/?h=io_uring-fops.v3

Application is expected to allocate passthrough command structure, set
it up traditionally, and pass its address via "block_uring_cmd->addr".
On completion, CQE is posted with completion-status after any ioctl
specific buffer/field update.

Changes from v2:
1. Rebase against latest uring-cmd branch of Jens
2. Remove per-io nvme_command allocation
3. Disallow passthrough commands with non-zero command effects

Change from v1:
1. Rewire the work on top of Jens uring-cmd interface
2. Support only passthrough, and not other nvme ioctls

Kanchan Joshi (3):
  io_uring: add helper for uring_cmd completion in submitter-task
  nvme: keep nvme_command instead of pointer to it
  nvme: wire up support for async passthrough
