[PATCH 6/6] nvme: consult the CSE log page for unprivileged passthrough

Christoph Hellwig hch at lst.de
Thu Dec 22 23:18:14 PST 2022


Commands like Write Zeros can change the contents of a namespaces without
actually transferring data.  To protect against this, check the Commands
Supported and Effects log is supported by the controller for any
unprivileg command passthrough and refuse unprivileged passthrough if the
command has any effects that can change data or metadata.

Note: While the Commands Support and Effects log page has only been
mandatory since NVMe 2.0, it is widely supported because Windows requires
it for any command passthrough from userspace.
