Hi,
  These patches are supporting separate vwc attr for each namespace.

  I found that the number 2 and 3 patch are conflict with Matias Bjørling's
patch which implement to supporting rotational device, this is the first
time this happend to me, I dont know how to handle this, so there is a "RFC"
tag in tittle, waiting for the solution.

Guixin Liu (3):
  nvme: check ns's volatile write cache not present
  nvme: query independent identify ns by default
  nvmet: report ns's vwc not present

[PATCH RFC 1/3] nvme: check ns's volatile write cache not present

[Guixin Liu]

When the VWC of a namespace does not exist, the BLK_FEAT_WRITE_CACHE
flag should not be set when registering the block device, regardless
of whether the controller supports VWC.

[PATCH RFC 2/3] nvme: query independent identify ns by default

[Guixin Liu]

Query independent identify ns by default, if returning fail,
go back to sending the "identify namespace data structure for the
specified NSID or the namespace capabilities for the NVM Command
Set(cns = 0)".

[PATCH RFC 3/3] nvmet: report ns's vwc not present

[Guixin Liu]

Currently, we report that controller has vwc even though the ns may
not have vwc. Report ns's vwc not present when not buffered_io or
backdev doesn't have vwc.

How is this related to the rest of the series?

Patch 3 provides target support for the VWCNP flag, but the host driver
wouldn't check it without this patch. I'm assuming that's why this patch
is included here: so both sides can be tested.

But if you have the time to review a different patchset, I would prefer
we get nvmet up to 2.1 compliance and restrict this identification to
2.0 and above where it's required.

Yes.

Yeah sure, I see the Matias's patchset too, you could apply my number 
one patch

first, when the nvmet's version increased to 2.1 and Matia's patchset 
applied,

I will continue to working on nvme target's ns respective vwcnp.
