[PATCH] libnvdimm, dimm: Maximize label transfer size

From: Dan Williams
Date: Fri Sep 28 2018 - 15:08:12 EST


Use kvzalloc() to bypass the arbitrary PAGE_SIZE limit of label transfer
operations. Given the expense of calling into firmware, maximize the
amount of label data we transfer per call to be up to the total label
space if allowed by the firmware.
