    nvme: expose cntrltype and dctype through sysfs · 86c2457a
    Martin Belanger 提交于
    TP8010 introduces the Discovery Controller Type attribute (dctype).
    The dctype is returned in the response to the Identify command. This
    patch exposes the dctype through the sysfs. Since the dctype depends on
    the Controller Type (cntrltype), another attribute of the Identify
    response, the patch also exposes the cntrltype as well. The dctype will
    only be displayed for discovery controllers.
    
    A note about the naming of this attribute:
    Although TP8010 calls this attribute the Discovery Controller Type,
    note that the dctype is now part of the response to the Identify
    command for all controller types. I/O, Discovery, and Admin controllers
    all share the same Identify response PDU structure. Non-discovery
    controllers as well as pre-TP8010 discovery controllers will continue
    to set this field to 0 (which has always been the default for reserved
    bytes). Per TP8010, the value 0 now means "Discovery controller type is
    not reported" instead of "Reserved". One could argue that this
    definition is correct even for non-discovery controllers, and by
    extension, exposing it in the sysfs for non-discovery controllers is
    appropriate.
