The cxlflash driver supports performing a write-same16 to scrub virtual luns when they are released by a user. To date, AFUs for adapters that are supported by cxlflash do not have the capability to unmap as part of the WS operation. This can lead to fragmented flash devices which results in performance degradation. Future AFUs can optionally support unmap write-same commands and reflects this support via the context control register. This provides userspace applications with direct visibility such that they need not depend on a host API. Detect unmap support during cxlflash initialization by reading the context control register associated with the primary hardware queue. Update the existing write_same16() routine to set the unmap bit in the CDB when unmap is supported by the host. Signed-off-by: Matthew R.

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.
