In the patch, the namespaces are not removed on failure of identify
list. If nvme_identify_ns_list fails, the value is returned and
sequential scanning is done. The call to nvme_remove_invalid_namespaces
is done when the value of nsid in the list is 0.
Snapshot of patch:
....
ret = nvme_identify_ns_list(ctrl, prev, ns_list);
if (ret)
goto free;
....
nsid = le32_to_cpu(ns_list[j]);
if (!nsid)
goto out;
....
out:
nvme_remove_invalid_namespaces(ctrl, prev);
free:
kfree(ns_list);
return ret;
This should be able to handle error scenarios or am I missing something?
Thanks and Regards,
Sunad
