Issue: This issue is applicable to scenario when JBOD sequence map is unavailable (memory allocation for JBOD sequence map failed) to driver but feature is supported by firmware. If the driver sends a JBOD IO by not adding 255 (MAX_PHYSICAL_DEVICES - 1) to device ID when underlying firmware supports JBOD sequence map, it will lead to the IO failure. Fix: For JBOD IOs, driver will not use the RAID map to fetch the devhandle if JBOD sequence map is unavailable. Driver will set Devhandle to 0xffff and Target ID to 'device ID + 255 (MAX_PHYSICAL_DEVICES - 1)'.

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.
