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

sh: write error: No such device or address
[/]#
[/]# echo namespace5.0 > /sys/bus/nd/drivers/nd_blk/bind
