Christoph Hellwig 7ac3c2889b nvme: fix PI insert on write
I recently ran into an issue where the PI generated using the block layer
integrity code differs from that from a kernel using the PRACT fallback
when the block layer integrity code is disabled, and I tracked this down
to us using PRACT incorrectly.

The NVM Command Set Specification (section 5.33 in 1.2, similar in older
versions) specifies the PRACT insert behavior as:

  Inserted protection information consists of the computed CRC for the
  protection information format (refer to section 5.3.1) in the Guard
  field, the LBAT field value in the Application Tag field, the LBST
  field value in the Storage Tag field, if defined, and the computed
  reference tag in the Logical Block Reference Tag.

Where the computed reference tag is defined as following for type 1 and
type 2 using the text below that is duplicated in the respective bullet
points:

  the value of the computed reference tag for the first logical block of
  the command is the value contained in the Initial Logical Block
  Reference Tag (ILBRT) or Expected Initial Logical Block Reference Tag
  (EILBRT) field in the command, and the computed reference tag is
  incremented for each subsequent logical block.

So we need to set ILBRT field, but we currently don't.  Interestingly
this works fine on my older type 1 formatted SSD, but Qemu trips up on
this.  We already set ILBRT for Write Same since commit aeb7bb061be5
("nvme: set the PRACT bit when using Write Zeroes with T10 PI").

To ease this, move the PI type check into nvme_set_ref_tag.

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 reStructuredText 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.
