The new emulate_pr backstore attribute allows for Persistent Reservation and SCSI2 RESERVE/RELEASE support to be completely disabled. This can be useful for scenarios such as: - Ensuring ATS (Compare & Write) usage on recent VMware ESXi initiators. - Allowing clustered (e.g. tcm-user) backends to block such requests, avoiding the multi-node reservation state propagation. When explicitly disabled, PR and RESERVE/RELEASE requests receive Invalid Command Operation Code response sense data.

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.
