DESCRIPTION

       The  Device  Self-test command starts a device self-test operation or abort a device self-
       test operation. A device self-test operation is a diagnostic testing sequence  that  tests
       the  integrity  and  functionality  of the controller and may include testing of the media
       associated with namespaces.   The  controller  may  return  a  response  to  this  command
       immediately while running the self-test in the background.

       Set the 'nsid' field to 0 to not include namespaces in the test. Set to 0xffffffff to test
       all namespaces. All other values tests a specific namespace, if present.

RETURN

       The nvme command status if a response was received (see enum nvme_status_field) or -1 with
       errno set otherwise.
