[PATCH v3] NVMe: Add a character device for each nvme device

Keith Busch keith.busch at intel.com
Tue Feb 19 12:17:58 EST 2013


Registers a miscellaneous device for each nvme controller probed. This
creates character device files as /dev/nvmeN, where N is the device
instance, and supports nvme admin ioctl commands so devices without
namespaces can be managed.

Signed-off-by: Keith Busch <keith.busch at intel.com>

The difference between v3 and v2 is a coding error getting the device
in the misc fops open rountine.
