[PATCH v2 1/3] libnvdimm, pmem: fix 'pfn' support for section-misaligned namespaces

From: Dan Williams
Date: Thu Mar 03 2016 - 16:53:42 EST


The altmap for a section-misaligned namespace needs to arrange for the
base_pfn to be section-aligned. As a result the 'reserve' region (pfns
from base that do not have a struct page) must be increased. Otherwise
we trip the altmap validation check in __add_pages:

if (altmap->base_pfn != phys_start_pfn
|| vmem_altmap_offset(altmap) > nr_pages) {
pr_warn_once("memory add fail, invalid altmap\n");
return -EINVAL;
}
