Sagi Grimberg 240a7025a6 nvme: code command_id with a genctr for use-after-free validation
[ Upstream commit e7006de6c2 ]

We cannot detect a (perhaps buggy) controller that is sending us
a completion for a request that was already completed (for example
sending a completion twice), this phenomenon was seen in the wild
a few times.

So to protect against this, we use the upper 4 msbits of the nvme sqe
command_id to use as a 4-bit generation counter and verify it matches
the existing request generation that is incrementing on every execution.

The 16-bit command_id structure now is constructed by:
| xxxx | xxxxxxxxxxxx |
  gen    request tag

This means that we are giving up some possible queue depth as 12 bits
allow for a maximum queue depth of 4095 instead of 65536, however we
never create such long queues anyways so no real harm done.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
