Subject: [PATCH 0/3] tcm: TPE/TPU -> Block Discard emulation updates for v4.0.0-rc5

From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@...ux-iscsi.org>

Greetings all,

This series adds some follow up TPE/TPU emulation patches for TCM Core
and IBLOCK + FILEIO -> Block Discard emulation.

The first renames the current DEV_ATTRIB(dev)->emulate_tpe configfs attr to an
explict signaling of UNMAP emulation support with DEV_ATTRIB(dev)->emulate_tpu.
This was done because the meaning of TPE=1 will be changing in future SBC3 specs,
and we need to support both TPU and TPWS for TCM/IBLOCK and TCM/FILEIO subsystem
plugins.

The second adds support for INQUIRY EVPD Thin Provisioning VPD (0xb2) emulation
for IBLOCK + FILEIO backstores w/ blk_queue_discard()=1 following mkp's
recommendation.

The third adds support for filling in the proper max_unmap_lba_count,
max_unmap_block_desc_count, unmap_granularity, and unmap_granularity_alignment
from generic struct request_queue->limits values reported by the underlying
SCSI (TPU/TPWS) and SATA (TRIM) HW accordingly.

So far these patches have been tested with TCM_Loop -> TCM/IBLOCK -> scsi_debug
backstores, and sg_vpd output has been included in the second and third patches
for reference.

Many, many thanks to Martin Petersen for answering questions wrt to
TPE/TPU/TPWS -> Block Discard translation and EVPD 0xb2 THRESHOLD EXPONENT usage!

Thanks mkp!
