[ Upstream commitbb7bf697fe] It is not clear why the original implementation of overwrite support required the dimm driver to be active before overwrite could proceed. In fact that can lead to cases where the kernel retains an invalid cached copy of the labels from before the overwrite. Unfortunately the kernel has not only allowed that case, but enforced it. Going forward, allow for overwrite to happen while the label area is offline, and follow-on with updates to 'ndctl sanitize-dimm --overwrite' to trigger the label area invalidation by default.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
