Technical proposal 8005 "fabrics SQ flow control" introduces a mode where a host and controller agree to omit sq_head pointer updates when sending nvme completions. In case the host indicated desire to operate in this mode (connect attribute) the controller will return back a connect completion with sq_head value of 0xffff as indication that it will omit sq_head pointer updates. This mode saves us an atomic update in the I/O path.

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.
