[PATCH] libnvdimm, dax: fix 1GB-aligned namespaces vs physical misalignment

From: Dan Williams
Date: Thu Dec 07 2017 - 22:33:53 EST


The following namespace configuration attempt:

# ndctl create-namespace -e namespace0.0 -m devdax -a 1G -f
libndctl: ndctl_dax_enable: dax0.1: failed to enable
Error: namespace0.0: failed to enable

failed to reconfigure namespace: No such device or address

...fails when the backing memory range is not physically aligned to 1G:

# cat /proc/iomem | grep Persistent
210000000-30fffffff : Persistent Memory (legacy)

In the above example the 4G persistent memory range starts and ends on a
256MB boundary.

We handle this case correctly when needing to handle cases that violate
section alignment (128MB) collisions against "System RAM", and we simply
need to extend that padding/truncation for the 1GB alignment use case.
