[ndctl,v5,2/7] ndctl/dimm: Minimize data-transfer for init-labels

Commit Message

Dan Williams Aug. 6, 2019, 12:09 a.m. UTC

Currently init-labels implementation reads the entire namespace-label
capacity, initializes just the namespace index, and then writes the
entire label capacity. It turns out that DIMM label-area access methods
can be exceedingly slow.

For example, the time to read the entire label area on a single dimm:
2s, but the time to just read the index block space: 45ms.
