From 00ff400e6deee00f7b15e200205b2708b63b8cf6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Mon, 11 Apr 2022 08:05:27 +0200 Subject: nvme: add a quirk to disable namespace identifiers Add a quirk to disable using and exporting namespace identifiers for controllers where they are broken beyond repair. The most directly visible problem with non-unique namespace identifiers is that they break the /dev/disk/by-id/ links, with the link for a supposedly unique identifier now pointing to one of multiple possible namespaces that share the same ID, and a somewhat random selection of which one actually shows up.
