The explanation feels a bit sparse.  It could also mentioned that
no support for persistent reservation exists, and how this code
was tested.

Also, do you have a corresponding nvmetcli patch?

Using little endian fields for purely in-memory data feels strange.
Is there a good reason for this?

Please avoid the overly long line here.  That's easiest done by
following the style used elsewhere in the nvme code using two
tab continuations:

static u16 nvmet_pr_update_reg_attr(struct nvmet_pr *pr,
		struct nvmet_pr_registrant *reg,
		void (*change_attr)(struct nvmet_pr_registrant *reg,
				void *attr),
		void *attr)

Does this really need a full blown expensive synchronize_rcu vs just a
cheaper kfree_rcu_mightsleep or kfree_rcu?

Overly long line.  This might also benefit from adding symbolic constants
and/or extraction helpers.

The explicit cast to bool should also not be needed.

No nee for the outer braces here.  But why do we we need the expensive
synchronize_rcu and two-step operation here anyway vs just using
kfree_rcu?

NVME_CNTLID_DYNAMIC

Overly long line.

It would be niceto have the NULL check inline to avoid the call for
for namespaces without reservation support.

Please split out adding the new code points to nvme.h to a separate
prep patch.
