It caused incompatibility of NMVe-OF target and initiator modules (nvmet, nvme-rdma) installed by Mellanox OFED with the inbox "nvme" driver. Root cause analysis. In the drivers/lightnvm/Kconfig file - kernel configuration for the OpenChannel SSDs (lightnvm) we have: menuconfig NVM bool "Open-Channel SSD target support" depends on BLOCK && HAS_DMA && PCI select BLK_DEV_NVME help Say Y here to get to enable Open-channel SSDs. ... It means that BLK_DEV_NVME is selected to "y" when NVM (CONFIG_NVM) is selected. NVM parameter is 2 state (on / off, i.e. "y" or "no"), it couldn't be built as a module. So that it triggers the change of BLK_DEV_NAME=y and NVME_CORE=y $ git blame drivers/lightnvm/Kconfig 32c662c58a9b9 (Rakesh Pandit 2017-10-13 14:45:55 +0200 7) depends on BLOCK && HAS_DMA && PCI 32c662c58a9b9 (Rakesh Pandit 2017-10-13 14:45:55 +0200 8) select BLK_DEV_NVME commit 32c662c58a9b9d0c99e713a14ca323a9a91c73a0 Author: Rakesh Pandit <rak...@tuxera.com> Date: Fri Oct 13 14:45:55 2017 +0200 lightnvm: include NVM Express driver if OCSSD is selected for build Because NVM needs BLK_DEV_NVME, select it automatically if we mark NVM in config file before building kernel. Also append PCI to depends as select doesn't automatically add dependencies.
