Not sure I follow.. sbc_set_prot_op_checks() is already setting
TARGET_PROT_DOUT_INSERT when no protect field in the WRITE CDB has been
set, eg:
static int
sbc_set_prot_op_checks(u8 protect, enum target_prot_type prot_type,
bool is_write, struct se_cmd *cmd)
{
if (is_write) {
cmd->prot_op = protect ? TARGET_PROT_DOUT_PASS :
TARGET_PROT_DOUT_INSERT;
<SNIP>
}
}
Which in-turn is what causes this code to invoke sbc_dif_write_insert
(now sbc_dif_generate) when the backend supports PI, and the fabric
itself does not support WRITE_INSERT hw offload.
