[PATCH V5 0/2] nvme: enable char device per namespace

[javier]

From: Javier González <javier.gonz@samsung.com>

These two patches enable a char device per namespace, also through
multipath. It is possible to test this in QEMU using Keith's and Klaus'
tree in nvme-next

     http://git.infradead.org/qemu-nvme.git/shortlog/refs/heads/nvme-next

Keith: Regarding nvme-cli support, once this is in place, we will send a
patch to nvme-cli so that this device is shown in verbose mode. Do you
have anu thoughts about this?

Changes since V4
  - Added support for multipath (from Minwoo)
  - Fixed typo in commit message for sysfs naming
  - Rebase into nvme-5.12

Changes since V3
  - Use a dedicated ida for the generic handle
  - Do not abort namespace greation if the generic handle fails

Changes since V2:
  - Apply a number of naming and code structure improvements (from
    Christoph)
  - Use i_cdev to pull struct nvme_ns in the ioctl path instead of
    populating file->private_data (from Christoph)
  - Change char device and sysfs entries to /dev/nvme-generic-XcYnZ to
    follow the hidden device naming scheme (from Christoph and Keith)

Changes since V1:
  - Remove patches 1-3 which are already picked up by Christoph
  - Change the char device and sysfs entries to nvmeXnYc / c signals
    char device
  - Address Minwoo's comments on inline functions and style

[PATCH V5 1/2] nvme: enable char device per namespace

[javier]

From: Javier González <javier.gonz@samsung.com>

Create a char device per NVMe namespace. This char device is always
initialized, independently of whether the features implemented by the
device are supported by the kernel. User-space can therefore always
issue IOCTLs to the NVMe driver using the char device.

The char device is presented as /dev/nvme-generic-XcYnZ. This naming
scheme follows the convention of the hidden device (nvmeXcYnZ). Support
for multipath will follow.

[PATCH V5 1/2] nvme: enable char device per namespace

[javier]

From: Javier González <javier.gonz@samsung.com>

Create a char device per NVMe namespace. This char device is always
initialized, independently of whether the features implemented by the
device are supported by the kernel. User-space can therefore always
issue IOCTLs to the NVMe driver using the char device.

The char device is presented as /dev/nvme-generic-XcYnZ. This naming
scheme follows the convention of the hidden device (nvmeXcYnZ). Support
for multipath will follow.

[PATCH V5 2/2] nvme: allow open for nvme-generic char device

[javier]

From: Minwoo Im <minwoo.im.dev@gmail.com>

Keep rejecting the hidden device access via open, but allow cases
through the nvme-generic char device.

The out_unfreeze case also handles all kinds of real error, so this needs
to move into a better spot, and probably check a specific error code
or even explicit indicator.

Maybe add a little cdev_to_ns() helper?

I don't think we can simplify ignore all errors here.

I think we can keep this in core.c.

Maybe just move the check into the block device caller instead?

Sure, then check for nvme_ns_is_generic(ns) will be not neccessary.  Let
me move this check to nvme_open() with only checking if it's head or not.
