QT> Yes, protection mode can vary between portals. When user select the
physical function (via fabric_make_tpg), you know the specific portal
based on user input and its capability. This is where Qlogic register its
capabilities based on specific hardware.

<QT> My recollection was that it's not recommended to have different
portals with different supported feature. Meaning a SCSI Write without Dif
down a none-T10PI portal update the data.  The Guard on the disk is now
mismatch with the data. A SCSI Read down a T10PI path will run into a
Guard failure.

By introducing this option, Disk vendor require additional logic to
compensate for this. I think it's cheaper to have supported hardware
rather than support nightmare.

QT> I'm on the fence with this piece.  Just thinking of a case where DIX
is not available for initiator side, but user wants to turn on protection
at the link layer.  Our test folks would like to cover this case in the
future.
