[Severity: Medium]
Do NVME_AEN_BIT_SMART and NVME_AEN_CFG_SMART match the NVMe specification
for Identify Controller OAES and NVME_FEAT_ASYNC_EVENT?
The value 1 is the Asynchronous Event Type (NVME_AER_SMART = 1) reported
in CQE DW0 bits 2:0, not an OAES or Asynchronous Event Configuration bit.
In the NVMe Base Specification, SMART / Health Critical Warning events are
mandatory, so bits 7:0 of OAES are reserved and zero on compliant
controllers. Checking ctrl->oaes & NVME_AEN_CFG_SMART will therefore find
the bit cleared and never subscribe to the event.
In the NVME_FEAT_ASYNC_EVENT feature (CDW11), bits 7:0 are individual
Critical Warning bitmasks corresponding to byte 0 of struct nvme_smart_log,
already defined right above in include/linux/nvme.h as
NVME_SMART_CRIT_SPARE through NVME_SMART_CRIT_VOLATILE_MEMORY (and used by
NVMET_AEN_CFG_ALL in drivers/nvme/target/nvmet.h). Passing 1 << 1 to Set
Features only enables NVME_SMART_CRIT_TEMPERATURE and leaves spare,
reliability, media, and volatile memory warnings disabled.
