The only way create_namespace_pmem() returns an ENODEV code is if select_pmem_id(nd_region, &uuid) returns ENODEV when its 2nd parameter is a null pointer. However, this is impossible because &uuid is always valid.
Furthermore, create_namespace_pmem() is the only user of select_pmem_id(), it's safe to remove the 'return -ENODEV' branch. Signed-off-by: Li Zhijian <lizhij...@fujitsu.com> --- V2: new patch.
