Subject: [PATCH] libnvdimm, pfn: fix uuid validation
Date: Tue, 29 Mar 2016 11:28:09 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160329182809.13112.73824.stgit@dwillia2-desk3.jf.intel.com> (raw)

If we detect a namespace has a stale info block in the init path, we
should overwrite with the latest configuration.  In fact, we already
return -ENODEV when the parent uuid is invalid, the same should be done
for the 'self' uuid.  Otherwise we can get into a condition where
userspace is unable to reconfigure the pfn-device without directly /
manually invalidating the info block.
