The problem trying to solve is below:
1、According to nvme spec, the possible range of Namespaces ID is form 1 to FFFFFFFe
2、When use NVME_IOCTL_ID IOCTL cmd to get namespaces ID,if return error before function nvme_ioctl,
How can user distinguish the return value is valid namespaces ID or error value。
Do you think this situation exsits or there will never fail when use NVME_IOCTL_ID cmd?
