NVMe TP 4056 allows controllers to support different command sets. NVMeoF target currently only supports namespaces that contain traditional logical blocks that may be randomly read and written. In some applications there is a value in exposing namespaces that contain logical blocks that have special access rules (e.g. sequentially write required namespace such as Zoned Namespace (ZNS)). In order to support the Zoned Block Devices (ZBD) backend, controllers need to have support for ZNS Command Set Identifier (CSI). In this preparation patch, we adjust the code such that it can now support the default command set identifier. We update the namespace data structure to store the CSI value which defaults to NVME_CSI_NVM that represents traditional logical blocks namespace type. The CSI support is required to implement the ZBD backend for NVMeOF with host side NVMe ZNS interface, since ZNS commands belong to the different command set than the default one.

README
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.
