[ Upstream commit d39ad2a45c0e38def3e0c95f5b90d9af4274c939 ] The only fabrics target that supports metadata handling through the separate integrity buffer is RDMA. It is currently usable only if the size is 8B per block and formatted for protection information. If an rdma target were to export a namespace with a different format (ex: 4k+64B), the driver will not be able to submit valid read/write commands for that namespace. Suppress setting the metadata feature in the namespace so that the gendisk capacity will be set to 0. This will prevent read/write access through the block stack, but will continue to allow ioctl passthrough commands.

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.
