Since commit 328943e3 ("Update tests for discovery log page changes"),
blktests also include the discovery subsystem itself. But it
will lead these cases fails on older nvme-cli system.

To avoid this, like nvme/002, use _check_genctr to check instead of
comparing many discovery Log Entry output.

Thanks for this report. What is the nvme-cli version with the issue?

The change looks fine to me, but I'd wait for comments by nvme developers.

Thanks. I compiled nvme-cli version 1.16 on my test system, but it did not
recreate the failure of nvme/016 or nvme/017. I ran them on kernel v6.4-rc4 with
Fedora 37, so the failure may depend on not only nvme-cli version, but also
kernel version.

Anyway, let's wait for comments by nvme experts.

I'm ok with this change, but IIRC Chaitanya wanted that we keep checking
the full log-page output...

the original testcase was designed to validate the log page internals
and  that correctness cannot be established without looking into the log
page.

but given that how much churn this is generating eveytime something 
changes in nvme-cli or in kernel implementation I'm really wondering is
that worth everyone's time ?

Sagi/Shinichiro any thoughts ?

I don't have future view about the stability of the log page. I would like to
hear call by Sagi and/or nvme developers about it. If we expect more log page
changes, Yang's change in blktests sounds reasonable.

If we expect no more log page changes in the future, we can think of another
solution: skip the test cases on older kernel (or nvme-cli). I think the
blktests commit 328943e3 ("Update tests for discovery log page changes")
corresponds to the kernel commit e5ea42faa773 ("nvme: display correct subsystem
NQN"), applied in the kernel version 5.16. So "_have_kver 5 16" for the test
cases will avoid the failure Yang observes.

Yang, may I confirm the kernel version you use? If you use RHEL 8 based OS, I
think it is v4.18.

Yes, I used RHEL8 and don't introduce this kernel patch.

Also back then I thought it'd create churn because the log page output
is not an interface.

I think nvme/016 and 017 still have value even without the log-page output
checks. They exercise namespace creations and deletions which other test
cases don't.

So, we should drop the log page output check, and it means that Yang's patch is
the choice.

Chaitanya, is it ok for you?

I think it is reasonable to drop this check, also it will be great if
can we can drop any other such checks in the nvme test category to save
everyone's time.

Okay, I have applied Yang's patch (Thanks Yang!). And I also added a follow-up
commit to remove the helper fucntion _filter_discovery, which is no longer used.

Another commit 93ae757d4ca2("nvme/{002,030}: Move discovery generation counter
code to rc") removed the check from nvme/002. So, there is no check for

there seems no other Log Page checks.
