    NVMe: Change the definition of nvme_user_io · 6c7d4945
    Matthew Wilcox 提交于
    The read and write commands don't define a 'result', so there's no need
    to copy it back to userspace.
    
    Remove the ability of the ioctl to submit commands to a different
    namespace; it's just asking for trouble, and the use case I have in mind
    will be addressed througha  different ioctl in the future.  That removes
    the need for both the block_shift and nsid arguments.
    
    Check that the opcode is one of 'read' or 'write'.  Future opcodes may
    be added in the future, but we will need a different structure definition
    for them.
    
    The nblocks field is redefined to be 0-based.  This allows the user to
    request the full 65536 blocks.
    
    Don't byteswap the reftag, apptag and appmask.  Martin Petersen tells
    me these are calculated in big-endian and are transmitted to the device
    in big-endian.
