Userspace has not been allowed to I/O to device that's failed to be initialized. This patch introduces generic per-namespace character device to allow userspace to I/O regardless the block device is there or not. The chardev naming convention will similar to the existing blkdev naming, using a ng prefix instead of nvme, i.e. - /dev/ngXnY It also supports multipath which means it will not expose chardev for the hidden namespace blkdevs (e.g., nvmeXcYnZ). If /dev/ngXnY is created for a ns_head, then I/O request will be routed to a specific controller selected by the iopolicy of the 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.
