From 9ec3bb2f994bda9c8817856fdcbfaebe8f62fbd3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Keith Busch Date: Fri, 29 Apr 2016 15:45:18 -0600 Subject: NVMe: Allow user initiated rescan This exposes ioctl and sysfs methods a user can invoke to request the driver rescan a controller and its namespaces. This is less harsh than doing a controller reset, which temporarilly halts all IO, just to surface a newly attached namespace. This is mainly useful for controllers that implement the namespace management command, but do not support the namespace notify change asynchronous event notification.
