NVM Express TP4167 provides a way for controllers to report a relaxed
execution constraint. Specifically, it notifies of exclusivity for IO
vs. admin commands instead of grouping these together. If set, then we
don't need to freeze IO in order to execute that admin command. The
freezing distrupts IO processes, so it's nice to avoid that if the
controller tells us it's not necessary.

nvme_is_fabrics() and nvme_is_write() only read struct nvme_command,
so take it by const pointer. This allows callers to pass a const pointer
and communicates that these functions don't modify the command.

<title>Merge patch series "Use block pr_ops in LIO"</title>

Mike Christie &lt;michael.christie@oracle.com&gt; says:

The patches in this thread allow us to use the block pr_ops with LIO's
target_core_iblock module to support cluster applications in VMs. They
were built over Linus's tree. They also apply over linux-next and
Martin's tree and Jens's trees.

Currently, to use windows clustering or linux clustering (pacemaker +
cluster labs scsi fence agents) in VMs with LIO and vhost-scsi, you
have to use tcmu or pscsi or use a cluster aware FS/framework for the
LIO pr file. Setting up a cluster FS/framework is pain and waste when
your real backend device is already a distributed device, and pscsi
and tcmu are nice for specific use cases, but iblock gives you the
best performance and allows you to use stacked devices like
dm-multipath. So these patches allow iblock to work like pscsi/tcmu
where they can pass a PR command to the backend module. And then
iblock will use the pr_ops to pass the PR command to the real devices
similar to what we do for unmap today.

The patches are separated in the following groups:

Patch 1 - 2:

 - Add block layer callouts for reading reservations and rename reservation
   error code.

Patch 3 - 5:

 - SCSI support for new callouts.

Patch 6:

 - DM support for new callouts.

Patch 7 - 13:

 - NVMe support for new callouts.

Patch 14 - 18:

 - LIO support for new callouts.

This patchset has been tested with the libiscsi PGR ops and with
window's failover cluster verification test. Note that for scsi
backend devices we need this patchset:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-scsi/20230123221046.125483-1-michael.christie@oracle.com/T/#m4834a643ffb5bac2529d65d40906d3cfbdd9b1b7

to handle UAs. To reduce the size of this patchset that's being done
separately to make reviewing easier. And to make merging easier this
patchset and the one above do not have any conflicts so can be merged
in different trees.

window's failover cluster verification test. Note that for scsi
backend devices we need this patchset:

to handle UAs. To reduce the size of this patchset that's being done
separately to make reviewing easier. And to make merging easier this
patchset and the one above do not have any conflicts so can be merged
in different trees.
