Avri,

Yes, this is a private discussion during this year's Storage Summit wit
h Hannes Reinecke on the first two proposals below, and a private
discussion with Bart on the following three proposals 


1. Use current BSG v4, and transmit EHS in sense_buffer, which is rejected.

2. The optional suggestion is to use ufs_bsg, which is the patch.

3. New RPMB framework, but we should enable UFS/eMMC RPMB driver as
well in ufs/emmc core, also, the command will be passed to kernel over
ioctl(). interested in this one, But Bart suggested using io_uing
framework. Since RPMB operation is atomic required, we found it is not
safe to use io_uring now, this need passthorugh support SCSI layer as
well.


Kind regards,
Bean
