The 'verify_rq_based:' code in dm_table_determine_type() was checking
all devices in the DM table rather than only checking the data devices.
Fix this by using the immutable target's iterate_devices method.
Also, tweak the block of dm_table_determine_type() code that decides
whether to upgrade from DM_TYPE_BIO_BASED to DM_TYPE_NVME_BIO_BASED so
that it makes sure the immutable_target doesn't support require
splitting IOs.
These changes have been verified to allow a "thin-pool" target whose
data device is an NVMe device to be upgraded to DM_TYPE_NVME_BIO_BASED.
Using the thin-pool in NVMe bio-based mode was verified to pass all the
device-mapper-test-suite's "thin-provisioning" tests.
Also verified that request-based DM multipath (with queue_mode "rq" and
"mq") works as expected using the 'mptest' harness.
Fixes: 22c11858e ("dm: introduce DM_TYPE_NVME_BIO_BASED")

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
