[PATCH V2] nvme: expose active quirks in sysfs

Maurizio Lombardi mlombard at redhat.com
Mon Nov 3 06:44:06 PST 2025


Currently, there is no straightforward way for a user to inspect
which quirks are active for a given device from userspace.

Add a new "quirks" sysfs attribute to the nvme controller device.

Reading this file will display a human-readable list
of all active quirks, with each quirk name on a new line.
If no quirks are active, it will display "none".

V2: Do not expose kernel-internal constants to userspace.
    Move the quirks attribute to the controller device, where it belongs.
