nvdimm: improve diagnosibility of namespaces In order to bind namespace to the driver user must first set all mandatory attributes in the following order: - uuid - size - sector_size (for blk namespace only) If the order is wrong, then user either won't be able to set the attribute or bind the namespace. This simple patch improves diagnosibility of common operations with namespaces by printing some details about the error instead of failing silently. Below are examples of error messages (assuming dyndbg is enabled for nvdimms): [/]# echo 4194304 > /sys/bus/nd/devices/region5/namespace5.0/size [ 288.372612] nd namespace5.0: __size_store: uuid not set [ 288.374839] nd namespace5.0: size_store: 400000 fail (-6) sh: write error: No such device or address [/]# [/]# echo namespace5.0 > /sys/bus/nd/drivers/nd_blk/bind [ 554.671648] nd_blk namespace5.0: nvdimm_namespace_common_probe: sector size not set [ 554.674688] ndbus1: nd_blk.probe(namespace5.0) = -19 sh: write error: No such device [/]# Signed-off-by: Dmitry V.
