-Command filtering and pass_level
---------------------------------
-
-TCMU supports a "pass_level" option with valid values of 0 or 1.  When
-the value is 0 (the default), nearly all SCSI commands received for
-the device are passed through to the handler. This allows maximum
-flexibility but increases the amount of code required by the handler,
-to support all mandatory SCSI commands. If pass_level is set to 1,
-then only IO-related commands are presented, and the rest are handled
-by LIO's in-kernel command emulation. The commands presented at level
-1 include all versions of:
-
-READ
-WRITE
-WRITE_VERIFY
-XDWRITEREAD
-WRITE_SAME
-COMPARE_AND_WRITE
-SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE
-UNMAP
-
-
