block: Allow t10-pi to be modular Currently t10-pi can only be built into the block layer which via crc-t10dif pulls in a whole chunk of the Crypto API. In fact all users of t10-pi work as modules and there is no reason for it to always be built-in. This patch adds a new hidden option for t10-pi that is selected automatically based on BLK_DEV_INTEGRITY and whether the users of t10-pi are built-in or not.

connected to the PCI or PCI Express bus. If you know you
don't have one of these, it is safe to answer N.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called nvme.

nvme: implement multipath access to nvme subsystems This patch adds native multipath support to the nvme driver. For each namespace we create only single block device node, which can be used to access that namespace through any of the controllers that refer to it. The gendisk for each controllers path to the name space still exists inside the kernel, but is hidden from userspace. The character device nodes are still available on a per-controller basis. A new link from the sysfs directory for the subsystem allows to find all controllers for a given subsystem. Currently we will always send I/O to the first available path, this will be changed once the NVMe Asynchronous Namespace Access (ANA) TP is ratified and implemented, at which point we will look at the ANA state for each namespace. Another possibility that was prototyped is to use the path that is closes to the submitting NUMA code, which will be mostly interesting for PCI, but might also be useful for RDMA or FC transports in the future. There is not plan to implement round robin or I/O service time path selectors, as those are not scalable with the performance rates provided by NVMe. The multipath device will go away once all paths to it disappear, any delay to keep it alive needs to be implemented at the controller level.

nvme: Add hardware monitoring support nvme devices report temperature information in the controller information (for limits) and in the smart log. Currently, the only means to retrieve this information is the nvme command line interface, which requires super-user privileges. At the same time, it would be desirable to be able to use NVMe temperature information for thermal control. This patch adds support to read NVMe temperatures from the kernel using the hwmon API and adds temperature zones for NVMe drives. The thermal subsystem can use this information to set thermal policies, and userspace can access it using libsensors and/or the "sensors" command. Example output from the "sensors" command: nvme0-pci-0100 Adapter: PCI adapter Composite: +39.0°C (high = +85.0°C, crit = +85.0°C) Sensor 1: +39.0°C Sensor 2: +41.0°C Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net> Signed-off-by: Keith Busch <kbusch@kernel.org>
