    libnvdimm, pfn: fix 'npfns' vs section alignment · d5483fed
    Dan Williams authored
    Fix failures to create namespaces due to the vmem_altmap not advertising
    enough free space to store the memmap.

    In commit 658922e5 "libnvdimm, pfn: fix memmap reservation sizing"
    we arranged for the capacity to be allocated, but failed to also update
    the 'npfns' parameter. This leads to cases where there is enough
    capacity reserved to hold all the allocated sections, but
    vmemmap_populate_hugepages() still encounters -ENOMEM from
    altmap_alloc_block_buf().
    
    This fix is a stop-gap until we can teach the core memory hotplug
    implementation to permit sub-section hotplug.
