From 448ba904160f9d8f69217c28a1692cee5afbff88 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Grover Date: Tue, 15 Apr 2014 14:13:12 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] target: Allow non-supporting backends to set pi_prot_type to 0 Userspace tools assume if a value is read from configfs, it is valid and will not cause an error if the same value is written back. The only valid value for pi_prot_type for backends not supporting DIF is 0, so allow this particular value to be set without returning an error.
