[PATCH] nvme: fix and clarify the check for missing metadata

Tue Nov 7 08:27:34 PST 2017


Update the check in nvme_setup_rw for missing metadata so that it is
together with the other metadata handling, does not contain impossible
to reach conditions and warns if we get an impossible requests for
a (non-PI) metadata-enabled namespace when CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INTEGRITY
is not set.

Also add a little helper that checks if a given metadata configuration
contains protection information
