From b3fffdefabab266ae5176a136d93b6670b07bb30 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Keith Busch Date: Tue, 3 Feb 2015 11:21:42 -0700 Subject: NVMe: Register management handle under nvme class This creates a new class type for nvme devices to register their management character devices with. This is so we do not rely on miscdev to provide enough minors for as many nvme devices some people plan to use. The previous limit was approximately 60 NVMe controllers, depending on the platform and kernel. Now the limit is 1M, which ought to be enough for anybody. Since we have a new device class, it makes sense to attach the block devices under this as well, so part of this patch moves the management handle initialization prior to the namespaces discovery.
