Steps:
# nvme detach-ns /dev/nvme0 --namespace-id=1 --controllers=0x81
# nvme delete-ns /dev/nvme0 --namespace-id=1
# nvme create-ns /dev/nvme0 --nsze=562805846 --ncap=562805846 --flbas=0 
-dps=0 -nmic=1
# nvme attach-ns /dev/nvme0 -n 1  --controller=0x81

Below is linux log with your patch:

Below is nguid changes:
# nvme id-ns /dev/nvme0n1|grep nguid
nguid   : 37444630577000630025384700000245

  nvme id-ns /dev/nvme0n1|grep nguid
nguid   : 37444630577000630025384700000246

Thanks a lot!
