    libnvdimm/altmap: Track namespace boundaries in altmap · cf387d96
    Aneesh Kumar K.V authored
    With PFN_MODE_PMEM namespace, the memmap area is allocated from the device
    area. Some architectures map the memmap area with large page size. On
    architectures like ppc64, 16MB page for memap mapping can map 262144 pfns.
    This maps a namespace size of 16G.
    
    When populating memmap region with 16MB page from the device area,
    make sure the allocated space is not used to map resources outside this
    namespace. Such usage of device area will prevent a namespace destroy.
    
    Add resource end pnf in altmap and use that to check if the memmap area
    allocation can map pfn outside the namespace. On ppc64 in such case we fallback
    to allocation from memory.

    djbw: Aneesh notes that this crash can likely be triggered in any kernel that
    supports 'papr_scm', so flagging that commit for -stable consideration.
