Let me call the "eventfd based LIO NVMe fabric driver" as "tcm_eventfd_nvme" Currently, LIO frontend driver(iscsi, fc, vhost-scsi etc) talk to LIO backend driver(fileio, iblock etc) with SCSI commands. Did you mean the "tcm_eventfd_nvme" driver need to translate NVMe commands to SCSI commands and then submit to backend driver? But I thought the future &qu...
