[v3,2/6] ndctl/namespace: Check for seed namespaces earlier

Commit Message

Oliver O'Halloran Jan. 16, 2019, 9:49 a.m. UTC

When creating an fsdax or devdax namespace we need to verify that the
seed namespaces exist. This patch reworks the validation so that it's
done earlier to simplify the subsequent patches in the series.
