general preparation for NVMe over Fabrics support

general preparation for NVMe over Fabrics support

[Christoph Hellwig]

This patch set adds some needed preparations for the upcoming NVMe over
Fabrics support.

Contains:
- Allow transfer size limitations for NVMe transports
- Add the get_log_page command definition required by the NVMe target
- more helpers in core code that can be used by various transports
- add some missing constants and identify attributes

[PATCH 01/10] nvme.h: add RTD3R, RTD3E and OAES fields

[Christoph Hellwig]

These have been added in NVMe 1.2 and we'll need at least oaes for the
NVMe target driver.

[PATCH 06/10] nvme: allow for size limitations from transport drivers

Some transport drivers may have a lower transfer size than
the controller. So allow the transport to set it in the
controller max_hw_sectors.

OK found the patch adding it myself.

ctratt is part of the fabrics spec and not the NVMe 1.2 spec, and we tried
to keep those separate.

This series looks good.

For patch ordering, I had thought there were no issues with these
I submitted:

  http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-nvme/2016-May/004704.html
  http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-nvme/2016-May/004709.html

It's the ones adding the SCHED_RESET state to fixup synchronizing
continuous user initiated resets, and think it should still go in for 4.7.
There will be a minor conflict with 10/10 in this set it does go first.

Anyway, moving on to the Fabrics library support set!

The 4.8 tree has forked already. I'm fine with adding these to 4.7,
but we'll also need them in 4.8 going forward.

Jens: are you fine with merging them for 4.7 for now, and merging them
for 4.8 separately once I've finished the fabrics bits?

Added 1-8, 9/10 throws a lot of rejects and it's pre-coffee here. What
is this against?

I corrected your email, unless you joined a hot new startup called Inte.

This looks fine for 4.7.

This one is a bit involved...

This was against 4.7-rc2 I think.  But you already merged 9 and 10 in
slightly different versions, so we should be fine.
