[PATCH 01/16] NVMe: Implement namespace list scanning

Christoph Hellwig hch at lst.de
Fri Nov 20 23:28:19 PST 2015


From: Keith Busch <keith.busch at intel.com>

The NVMe 1.1 specification provides an identify mode to return a
list of active namespaces. This is more efficient to discover which
namespace identifiers are active on a controller, providing potentially
significant improvement in scan time for controllers with sparesly
populated namespaces.
