commit 5974ea7ce0f9a5987fc8cf5e08ad6e3e70bb542e upstream.
A NVMe subsystem with multiple controller can have private namespaces
that use the same NSID under some conditions:
"If Namespace Management, ANA Reporting, or NVM Sets are supported, the
NSIDs shall be unique within the NVM subsystem. If the Namespace
Management, ANA Reporting, and NVM Sets are not supported, then NSIDs:
a) for shared namespace shall be unique; and
b) for private namespace are not required to be unique."
Reference: Section 6.1.6 NSID and Namespace Usage; NVM Express 1.4c spec.
Make sure this specific setup is supported in Linux.
Fixes: 9ad1927a3bc2 ("nvme: always search for namespace head")

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.
