Chaitra P B c1a6c5ac42 scsi: mpt3sas: For NVME device, issue a protocol level reset
1) Manufacturing Page 11 contains parameters to control internal
   firmware behavior. Based on AddlFlags2 field FW/Driver behaviour can
   be changed, (flag tm_custom_handling is used for this)

a) For PCIe device, protocol level reset should be used if flag
   tm_custom_handling is 0.  Since Abort Task Set, LUN reset and Target
   reset will result in a protocol level reset. Drivers should issue
   only one type of this reset, if that fails then it should escalate to
   a controller reset (diag reset/OCR).

b) If the driver has control over the TM reset timeout value, then
   driver should use the value exposed in PCIe Device Page 2 for pcie
   device (field ControllerResetTO).

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
