[PATCH 0/2] devm_memremap_pages vs section-misaligned pmem

From: Dan Williams
Date: Mon Feb 29 2016 - 21:56:48 EST


Recent testing uncovered two bugs around the handling of section-misaligned
pmem regions:

1/ If the pmem section overlaps "System RAM" we need to fail the
devm_memremap_pages() request. Previously we would mis-detect a
memory map like the following:

100000000-37bffffff : System RAM
37c000000-837ffffff : Persistent Memory

2/ If the pmem section is misaligned, but otherwise does not overlap
memory from another zone, the altmap needs to be fixed up to add the
alignment padding to the 'reserved ' pfns of the altmap.

mm: fix mixed zone detection in devm_memremap_pages
