Commands that access LBA contents without a data transfer between the host historically have not had a spec defined upper limit. The driver set the queue constraints for such commands to the max data transfer size just to be safe, but this artificial constraint frequently limits devices below their capabilities. The NVMe Workgroup ratified TP4040 defines how a controller may advertise their non-MDTS limits. Use these if provided and default to the current constraints if not. Since the Dataset Management command limits are defined in logical blocks, but without a namespace to tell us the logical block size, the code defaults to the safe 512b size.

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.
