Support for controllers and disks that implement DIF protection
information:- During command preparation the RDPROTECT/WRPROTECT must be set
correctly if the target has DIF enabled.- READ(6) and WRITE(6) are not supported when DIF is on.
- The controller must be told how to handle the I/O via the
protection operation field in scsi_cmnd.- Refactor the I/O completion code that extracts failed LBA from the
returned sense data and handle DIF failures correctly.- sd_dif.c implements the functions required to prepare and complete
requests with protection information attached.Signed-off-by: Martin K. Petersen
