When vmemmap_populate() allocates space for the memmap it does so in 2MB
sized chunks. The libnvdimm-pfn driver incorrectly accounts for this
when the alignment of the device is set to 4K. When this happens we
trigger memory allocation failures in altmap_alloc_block_buf() and
trigger warnings of the form:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 3376 at arch/x86/mm/init_64.c:656 arch_add_memory+0xe4/0xf0
[..]
Call Trace:

Fixes: 315c562536c4 ("libnvdimm, pfn: add 'align' attribute, default to HPAGE_SIZE")

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
