did JNVMf handle the NVME AER correctly?

[PepperJo]

AER is PCIe specific and is not supported via NVMf to my knowledge. It is the target's responsibility to handle such failures.

buddy, you get it wrong. there are two AER. one is PCIE advanced error reporting.
another is NVMe async event report. I am talking the NVMe async event AER now. SPDK and kernel handle this.

Thanks for the clarification. Request async event resp. get log page is not supported yet. However, it should be fairly easy to implement them.

[gwnet]

may I know what is impact if we did not have it?

[PepperJo]

From my knowledge async events are rarely used. Generally if there is a real problem your operations will fail eventually which will be handled as expected by jNVMf. For async events read NVMe Spec 1.3 page 77 / 5.2 it explains what type of events you can get.

Added async event request and get log page support: #15
