Keith -

Thanks for submitting this patch.  I think this sysfs mechanism is a good add.  I talked to Dave Darrington about getting it applied to our internal tree and let you know if he has any feedback as well.

I'm also interested in eventually providing the IOCTL you mentioned, because I think they have different use-cases.

David Sariel - Are you planning to revise the patch posted earlier for this, or should I talk to our team about that as well?

Brandon

Subject: [PATCH] NVMe: Add reset controller sysfs entry

We need the ability to perform an nvme controller reset as discussed on the mailing list thread:

  http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-nvme/2015-March/001585.html

This adds a sysfs entry that when written to will reset perform an NVMe controller reset if the controller was successfully initialized in the first place.

This also adds locking around resetting the device in the async probe method so the driver can't schedule two resets.

The other proposals were to use an IOCTL, and I'm still open to Ack if someone wants to submit that patch. This patch just makes it possible to do with sysfs since I'm in a minority that prefers to script these things rather than write a program to issue ioctls.
