Hello Jens, The two patches in this series fix a race condition related to the creation of the sysfs attributes for the /dev/nvme0n<x> devices nodes. I encountered this race while adding tests to the blktests project for the NVMeOF kernel drivers. Please consider these patches for the upstream kernel. Thanks, Bart.
