And that's the bit which I don't particular like.

Essentially we'll have to inject additional ELS commands _on each I/O_ 
to get a valid VMID.
Where there are _so_ many things which might get wrong, causing an I/O 
stall.

I would have vastly preferred if we could _avoid_ having to do 
additional ELS commands for VMID registration in the I/O path
(ie only allow for I/O with a valid VMID), and reject the I/O otherwise 
until VMID registration is complete.

IE return 'BUSY' (or even a command retry?) when no valid VMID for this 
particular I/O is found, register the VMID (preferably in another 
thread), and restart the queue once the VMID is registered.

That way we have a clear separation, and the I/O path will always work 
with valid VMIDs.

Hmm?

Hannes
