Target/dif: Introduce protection-passthough-only mode
Some transports (iSCSI/iSER/SRP/FC) support hardware INSERT/STRIP capabilities while other transports like loopback/vhost-scsi need perform this is software. This patch allows fabrics using SCF_PASSTHROUGH_SG_TO_MEM_NOALLOC to signal the early LUN scan handling case where PROTECT CDB bits are set, but no fabric buffer has been provided. For transports which use generic new command these buffers have yet to be allocated. Also this way, target may support protection information against legacy initiators (writes are inserted and reads are stripped). (Only set prot_pto for loopback during early special case - nab) Signed-off-by: Sagi Grimberg <sagig@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@linux-iscsi.org>
