An UNMAP command on a PI formatted device will leave the Logical Block Application Tag and Logical Block Reference Tag as all F's (for those LBAs that are unmapped). To avoid IO errors if those LBAs are subsequently read before they are written with valid tag fields, the MPI SCSI IO requests need to set the EEDPFlags element EEDP Escape Mode field, Bits [7:6] appropriately. A value of 2 should be set to disable all PI checks if the Logical Block Application Tag is 0xFFFF for PI types 1 and 2. A value of 3 should be set to disable all PI checks if the Logical Block Application Tag is 0xFFFF and the Logical Block Reference Tag is 0xFFFFFFFF for PI type 3.

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.
