Quick question here if user executes nvme ns-rescan /dev/nvme1 will following code result in triggering uevent(s) for the namespace(s( for which there is no change in the size ? If so is that an expected behavior ?My old code had a check to see if old_capacity != new_capacity as well. I can redo those bits if needed. The expected behaviour is not clear, but the functionality is not broken, user space should be able to deal with a resize event where the previous capacity == new capacity IMHO.
I think it makes sense to not bother with a notification unless there is an actual change.
