The cxlflash driver supports performing a write-same16 to scrub virtual luns when they are released by a user. To date, AFUs for adapters that are supported by cxlflash do not have the capability to unmap as part of the WS operation. This can lead to fragmented flash devices which results in performance degradation. Future AFUs can optionally support unmap write-same commands and reflects this support via the context control register. This provides userspace applications with direct visibility such that they need not depend on a host API. Detect unmap support during cxlflash initialization by reading the context control register associated with the primary hardware queue. Update the existing write_same16() routine to set the unmap bit in the CDB when unmap is supported by the host. Signed-off-by: Matthew R.
