[SCSI] Command protection operation
Controllers that support DMA of protection information must be told
explicitly how to handle the I/O. The controller has no knowledge of
the protection capabilities of the target device so this information
must be passed in the scsi_cmnd.
- The protection operation tells the HBA whether to generate, strip or
verify protection information.
- The protection type tells the HBA which layout the target is
formatted with. This is necessary because the controller must be
able to correctly interpret the included protection information in
order to verify it.
- When a scsi_cmnd is reused for error handling the protection
operation must be cleared and saved while error handling is in
progress.
- prot_op and prot_type are placed in an existing hole in scsi_cmnd
and don't cause the structure to grow.
