The SCSI-to-NVMe translations were added to assist storage applications utilizing SG_IO transitioning to NVMe. It was always recommended, however, to use native NVMe for device management as too much is lost in translation and the maintenance burden in keeping this kludgey layer around has been neglected such that much of the translations are completely broken. This patch removes SG_IO handling from NVMe to avoid any confusion regarding maintenance support for this interface. The config option for NVMe SCSI emulation has been disabled by default since 4.5. The driver has supported native nvme user commands since the beginning, and native tooling is publicly available for use or as reference for anyone writing their own tools, so there's no excuse for hanging onto a broken crutch.

The NVM Express driver is for solid state drives directly
|
|
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.

This provides support for the NVMe over Fabrics protocol using
|
|
the RDMA (Infiniband, RoCE, iWarp) transport. This allows you
|
|
to use remote block devices exported using the NVMe protocol set.
|
|
|
|
To configure a NVMe over Fabrics controller use the nvme-cli tool
|
|
from https://github.com/linux-nvme/nvme-cli.
|
|
|
|
If unsure, say N.
