After 'uuid', 'size', and optionally 'alt_name' have been set to valid values the labels on the dimms can be updated. Write procedure is: 1/ Allocate and write new labels in the "next" index 2/ Free the old labels in the working copy 3/ Write the bitmap and the label space on the dimm 4/ Write the index to make the update valid Label ranges directly mirror the dpa resource values for the given label_id of the namespace.

A blk label set describes a namespace comprised of one or more discontiguous dpa ranges on a single dimm. They may alias with one or more pmem interleave sets that include the given dimm. This is the runtime/volatile configuration infrastructure for sysfs manipulation of 'alt_name', 'uuid', 'size', and 'sector_size'. A later patch will make these settings persistent by writing back the label(s). Unlike pmem namespaces, multiple blk namespaces can be created per region. Once a blk namespace has been created a new seed device (unconfigured child of a parent blk region) is instantiated. As long as a region has 'available_size' != 0 new child namespaces may be created.

A complete label set is a PMEM-label per-dimm per-interleave-set where all the UUIDs match and the interleave set cookie matches the hosting interleave set. Present sysfs attributes for manipulation of a PMEM-namespace's 'alt_name', 'uuid', and 'size' attributes. A later patch will make these settings persistent by writing back the label. Note that PMEM allocations grow forwards from the start of an interleave set (lowest dimm-physical-address (DPA)). BLK-namespaces that alias with a PMEM interleave set will grow allocations backward from the highest DPA.

The libnvdimm region driver is an intermediary driver that translates non-volatile "region"s into "namespace" sub-devices that are surfaced by persistent memory block-device drivers (PMEM and BLK). ACPI 6 introduces the concept that a given nvdimm may simultaneously offer multiple access modes to its media through direct PMEM load/store access, or windowed BLK mode. Existing nvdimms mostly implement a PMEM interface, some offer a BLK-like mode, but never both as ACPI 6 defines. If an nvdimm is single interfaced, then there is no need for dimm metadata labels. For these devices we can take the region boundaries directly to create a child namespace device (nd_namespace_io).
