The IOC_PR_CLEAR and IOC_PR_RELEASE ioctls are non-functional on NVMe devices because the nvme_pr_clear() and nvme_pr_release() functions set the IEKEY field incorrectly. The IEKEY field should be set only when the key is zero (i.e, not specified). The current code does it backwards. Furthermore, the NVMe spec describes the persistent reservation "clear" function as an option on the reservation release command. The current implementation of nvme_pr_clear() erroneously uses the reservation register command. Fix these errors. Note that NVMe version 1.3 and later specify that setting the IEKEY field will return an error of Invalid Field in Command. The fix will set IEKEY when the key is zero, which is appropriate as these ioctls consider a zero key to be "unspecified", and the intention of the spec change is to require a valid key. Tested on a version 1.4 PCI NVMe device in an Azure VM. Fixes: |

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.
