In practice this is really only meaningful in the context of the DM multipath target (which uses dm_table_set_type() to set the type of device DM should create via its "queue_mode" option). So this change allows a DM multipath device with "queue_mode bio" to be upgraded from DM_TYPE_BIO_BASED to DM_TYPE_NVME_BIO_BASED -- iff the underlying device(s) are NVMe. DM_TYPE_NVME_BIO_BASED is just a DM core implementation detail that allows for NVMe-specific optimizations (e.g. use direct_make_request instead of generic_make_request). If in the future there is no benefit or need to distinguish NVMe vs not: then it will be removed. Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> |

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
