Commit 356ba2a8bc8d ("scsi: target: tcmu: Make pgr_support and alua_support attributes writable") introduced support for changeable alua_support and pgr_support target attributes. They can only be changed if the backstore is user-backed, otherwise the kernel returns -EINVAL. This caused a regression in targetcli/rtslib because now a warning is triggered when performing a target restore that includes non-userbacked backstores, even if rtslib is not trying to change the attributes' values: $ targetctl restore Storage Object block/storage1: Cannot set attribute alua_support: [Errno 22] Invalid argument, skipped Storage Object block/storage1: Cannot set attribute pgr_support: [Errno 22] Invalid argument, skipped Fix this warning by returning an error only if we are really going to flip the PGR/ALUA bit in the transport_flags field, otherwise we'll do nothing and return success. Return EOPNOTSUPP instead of EINVAL if the pgr/alua attributes can't be changed, this way it'll be possible for userspace to understand if the operation failed because an invalid value has been passed to strtobool() or because the attributes are fixed.
