Send an AEN to initiator when impacted controller exists. The
notification points to CCR log page that initiator can read to check
which CCR operation completed.

But what does the CCR command actually _do_?
At the very lease I would have expected it to trigger a controller reset
(eg calling into nvmet_ctrl_fatal_error()), yet I don't see it doing
that anywhere ...

[PATCH v2 03/14] nvmet: Implement CCR nvme command
is where impacted controller is told to fail. It does exactly what you
mentioned above.

+out_unlock:
+ mutex_unlock(&sctrl->lock);
+ if (status == NVME_SC_SUCCESS)
+ nvmet_ctrl_fatal_error(ictrl);
+ nvmet_ctrl_put(ictrl);
+out:
+ nvmet_req_complete(req, status);

I refactored the error handling codepath into success codepath. That is
why I think it is kind of hidden. If this is not obvious I can separate
the two codepaths. What do you think?

Ah. Indeed, cleverly hidden.

So ignore my comment.
