    libnvdimm, pfn: fix start_pad handling for aligned namespaces · 19deaa21
    Dan Williams authored
    The alignment checks at pfn driver startup fail to properly account for
    the 'start_pad' in the case where the namespace is misaligned relative
    to its internal alignment. This is typically triggered in 1G aligned
    namespace, but could theoretically trigger with small namespace
    alignments. When this triggers the kernel reports messages of the form:
    
        dax2.1: bad offset: 0x3c000000 dax disabled align: 0x40000000
