[PATCH 1/3] lightnvm: fix up nonsensical configure overrun checking

From: Matias BjÃrling
Date: Fri Feb 19 2016 - 07:58:49 EST


From: Alan <gnomes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Instead of checking a constant 0 actually check the space available. Even
better remember to allow for the header and also check the right amount of
space is needed.
