[PATCH V3 09/20] nvdimm/namespace_label: Skip region label during ns label DPA reservation

From: Neeraj Kumar

Date: Wed Sep 17 2025 - 09:50:38 EST


If Namespace label is present in LSA during nvdimm_probe() then DPA
reservation is required. But this reservation is not required by region
label. Therefore if LSA scanning finds any region label, skip it.
