From e5670563f588ed1c0603819350c0f02cec23f5c5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Williams Date: Thu, 7 Apr 2016 19:59:27 -0700 Subject: libnvdimm, pfn: fix uuid validation 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.
