ANA log parsing invokes nvme_update_ana_state() per ANA group desc. This updates the state of namespaces with nsids in desc->nsids[]. Both ctrl->namespaces list and desc->nsids[] array are sorted by nsid. Hence nvme_update_ana_state() performs a single walk over ctrl->namespaces: - if current namespace matches the current desc->nsids[n], this namespace is updated, and n is incremented. - the process stops when it encounters the end of either ctrl->namespaces end or desc->nsids[] In case desc->nsids[n] does not match any of ctrl->namespaces, the remaining nsids following desc->nsids[n] will not be updated. Such situation was considered abnormal and generated WARN_ON_ONCE. However ANA log MAY contain nsids not (yet) found in ctrl->namespaces. For example, lets consider the following scenario: - nvme0 exposes namespaces with nsids = [2, 3] to the host - a new namespace nsid = 1 is added dynamically - also, a ANA topology change is triggered - NS_CHANGED aen is generated and triggers scan_work - before scan_work discovers nsid=1 and creates a namespace, a NOTICE_ANA aen was issues and ana_work receives ANA log with nsids=[1, 2, 3] Result: ana_work fails to update ANA state on existing namespaces [2, 3] Solution: Change the way nvme_update_ana_state() namespace list walk checks the current namespace against desc->nsids[n] as follows: a) ns->head->ns_id < desc->nsids[n]: keep walking ctrl->namespaces. b) ns->head->ns_id == desc->nsids[n]: match, update the namespace c) ns->head->ns_id >= desc->nsids[n]: skip to desc->nsids[n+1] This enables correct operation in the scenario described above. This also allows ANA log to contain nsids currently invisible to the host, i.e. inactive nsids.

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.
