Currently in tcmu reservation commands are handled by core's pr implementation (default) or completely rejected (emulate_pr set to 0). We additionally want to be able to do full reservation handling in userspace. Therefore we need a way to set TRANSPORT_FLAG_PASSTHROUGH_PGR. The inverted flag is displayed by attribute pgr_support. Since we moved the flag from transport/backend to se_device in the previous commit, we now can make it changeable per device by allowing to write the attribute. The new field transport_flags_changeable in transport/backend is used to reject writing if not allowed for a backend. Regarding ALUA we also want to be able to passthrough commands to userspace in tcmu. Therefore we need TRANSPORT_FLAG_PASSTHROUGH_ALUA to be changeable, because by setting it we can switch off all ALUA checks in core. So we also set TRANSPORT_FLAG_PASSTHROUGH_ALUA in tcmu's transport_flags_changeable. Of course, ALUA and reservation handling in userspace will work only, if session/nexus information is sent to userspace along with every command. This will be object of a patch series announced by Mike Christie.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
