+CXL Flash Driver Host IOCTLs
+============================
+
+ Each host adapter instance that is supported by the cxlflash driver
+ has a special character device associated with it to enable a set of
+ host management function. These character devices are hosted in a
+ class dedicated for cxlflash and can be accessed via /dev/cxlflash/*.
+
+ Applications can be written to perform various functions using the
+ host ioctl APIs below.
+
+ The structure definitions for these IOCTLs are available in:
+ uapi/scsi/cxlflash_ioctl.h
+
+HT_CXLFLASH_LUN_PROVISION
+-------------------------
+ This ioctl is used to create and delete persistent LUNs on cxlflash
+ devices that lack an external LUN management interface. It is only
+ valid when used with AFUs that support the LUN provision capability.
+
+ When sufficient space is available, LUNs can be created by specifying
+ the target port to host the LUN and a desired size in 4K blocks. Upon
+ success, the LUN ID and WWID of the created LUN will be returned and
+ the SCSI bus can be scanned to detect the change in LUN topology. Note
+ that partial allocations are not supported. Should a creation fail due
+ to a space issue, the target port can be queried for its current LUN
+ geometry.
+
+ To remove a LUN, the device must first be disassociated from the Linux
+ SCSI subsystem. The LUN deletion can then be initiated by specifying a
+ target port and LUN ID. Upon success, the LUN geometry associated with
+ the port will be updated to reflect new number of provisioned LUNs and
+ available capacity.
+
+ To query the LUN geometry of a port, the target port is specified and
+ upon success, the following information is presented:
+
+ - Maximum number of provisioned LUNs allowed for the port
+ - Current number of provisioned LUNs for the port
+ - Maximum total capacity of provisioned LUNs for the port (4K blocks)
+ - Current total capacity of provisioned LUNs for the port (4K blocks)
+
+ With this information, the number of available LUNs and capacity can be
+ can be calculated.
+
+HT_CXLFLASH_AFU_DEBUG
+---------------------
+ This ioctl is used to debug AFUs by supporting a command pass-through
+ interface. It is only valid when used with AFUs that support the AFU
+ debug capability.
+
+ With exception of buffer management, AFU debug commands are opaque to
+ cxlflash and treated as pass-through. For debug commands that do require
+ data transfer, the user supplies an adequately sized data buffer and must
+ specify the data transfer direction with respect to the host. There is a
+ maximum transfer size of 256K imposed. Note that partial read completions
+ are not supported - when errors are experienced with a host read data
+ transfer, the data buffer is not copied back to the user.
