      .NVMe TP 8006 in-band authentication with NVMe/TCP is now supported

      NVMe TP 8006 in-band authentication for NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF) was introduced in RHEL 9.2 as a Technology Preview, which is now fully supported. This feature provides DH-HMAC-CHAP in-band authentication protocol for NVMe-oF, which is defined in the NVMe Technical Proposal 8006.
      For details, see the `dhchap-secret` and `dhchap-ctrl-secret` option descriptions in the `nvme-connect(1)` man page.

      Description

      Feature Overview:
      GA support for NVMe/TCP: In-band authentication - TP8006
      TP 8006 defines DH-HMAC-CHAP protocol as a method to authenticate NVMe subsystems. We request support for this in RHEL9 to support Dell and NetApp storage arrays that will implement this.
