libnvme is using the sysfs for enumarating the nvme resources. Though there are few missing attritbutes in the sysfs. For these libnvme issues commands during discovering. As the kernel already knows all these attributes and we would like to avoid libnvme to issue commands all the time, expose these missing attributes. The nuse value is updated on request because the nuse is a volatile value. Since any user can read the sysfs attribute, a very simple rate limit is added (update once every 5 seconds). A more sophisticated update strategy can be added later if there is actually a need for it.

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.
