[PATCH 16/19] nvme-multipath: add nvme_mpath_{add,delete}_ns()

John Garry
2026-02-25T15:41:16Z

Add functions to call into the mpath_add_device() and mpath_delete_device()
functions.

The per-NS gendisk pointer is used as the mpath_device disk pointer, which
is used in libmultipath for references the per-path block device.
