Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:
"A regression fix for the Address Range Scrub implementation, yes
another one, and support for platforms that misalign persistent memory
relative to the Linux memory hotplug section constraint. Longer term,
support for sub-section memory hotplug would alleviate alignment
waste, but until then this hack allows a 'struct page' memmap to be
established for these misaligned memory regions.
These have all appeared in a -next release, and thanks to Patrick for
reporting and testing the alignment padding fix.
Summary:
- Unless and until the core mm handles memory hotplug units smaller
than a section (128M), persistent memory namespaces must be padded
to section alignment.
The libnvdimm core already handled section collision with "System
RAM", but some configurations overlap independent "Persistent
Memory" ranges within a section, so additional padding injection is
added for that case.
- The recent reworks of the ARS (address range scrub) state machine
to reduce the number of state flags inadvertantly missed a
conversion of acpi_nfit_ars_rescan() call sites. Fix the regression
whereby user-requested ARS results in a "short" scrub rather than a
"long" scrub.
- Fixup the unit tests to handle / test the 128M section alignment of
mocked test resources.
