[PATCH 5/6] sd: Allow protection_type to be overridden

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: "Martin K. Petersen" <martin.petersen@xxxxxxxxxx>

We have encountered a few devices that misbehaved when operating in T10
PI mode. Allow T10 PI protection type to be overridden from userland.
