Hi all,

Unless I am mistaken the NVMe-oF target driver does currently not support to export a device read-only from the target system.
For exporting readonly snapshot devices I am currently using the attached patch.

Does this change, or a similar change, make sense for upstream?

    --
    With the patch and after setting the namespace to readonly:
    namespaces/1 # echo 1 > readonly
    namespaces/1 # echo 1 > enable
    
On the initiator system writes are now no longer permitted:
    root@r11i3:~# echo hello >/dev/nvme5n1 
    -bash: echo: write error: Operation not permitted
    --

Thanks,

Mark Ruijter
