Do we have defined sysfs attributes for NVMe devices nowadays?/sys/block/nvme0n1/uuidThat's only supported for NVMe 1.1 and higher devices, and optional. For older or stupid devices we need to support the algorithm based on the serial attribute from nvme_fill_device_id_scsi_string() in drivers/nvme/host/scsi.c.
It's even worse. NGUID was defined for 1.2 devices and higher. 1.1 devices should have EUI-64 at: /sys/block/nvmeXnY/eui 1.2 devices will have either uuid or eui (or both). The majority of devices in circulation today are 1.0, and need to concat these three entries to make a unique identifier: /sys/block/nvmeXnY/device/serial /sys/block/nvmeXnY/device/model /sys/block/nvmeXnY/nsid
