The namespace disk names must be unique for the lifetime of the subsystem. This was accomplished by using their parent subsystems' instances which were allocated independently from the controllers connected to that subsystem. This allowed name prefixes assigned to namespaces to match a controller from an unrelated subsystem, and has created confusion among users examining device nodes. Ensure a namespace's subsystem instance never clashes with a controller instance of another subsystem by transferring the instance ownership to the parent subsystem from the first controller discovered in that subsystem.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
