Johannes Thumshirn 1908ca222b nvme: don't send keep-alives to the discovery controller
[ Upstream commit 74c6c71530847808d4e3be7b205719270efee80c ]

NVMe over Fabrics 1.0 Section 5.2 "Discovery Controller Properties and
Command Support" Figure 31 "Discovery Controller – Admin Commands"
explicitly listst all commands but "Get Log Page" and "Identify" as
reserved, but NetApp report the Linux host is sending Keep Alive
commands to the discovery controller, which is a violation of the
Spec.

We're already checking for discovery controllers when configuring the
keep alive timeout but when creating a discovery controller we're not
hard wiring the keep alive timeout to 0 and thus remain on
NVME_DEFAULT_KATO for the discovery controller.

This can be easily remproduced when issuing a direct connect to the
discovery susbsystem using:
'nvme connect [...] --nqn=nqn.2014-08.org.nvmexpress.discovery'

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
