Subject: [GIT PULL] libnvdimm fixes for 4.6-rc7
Hi Linus, please pull from:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm libnvdimm-fixes
...to receive:
1/ A fix for the persistent memory 'struct page' driver. The
implementation overlooked the fact that pages are allocated in 2MB
units leading to -ENOMEM when establishing some configurations. It's
tagged for -stable as the problem was introduced with the initial
implementation in 4.5.
2/ The new "error status translation" routine, introduced with the 4.6
updates to the nfit driver, missed a necessary path in acpi_nfit_ctl().
End result is that we are falsely assuming commands complete
successfully when the embedded status says otherwise.
Full changelog and diff below, these have received a positive build
notification from the kbuild robot over 107 configs.

libnvdimm, pfn: fix memmap reservation sizing
When configuring a pfn-device instance to allocate the memmap array it
needs to account for the fact that vmemmap_populate_hugepages()
allocates struct page blocks in HPAGE_SIZE chunks. We need to align the
reserved area size to 2MB otherwise arch_add_memory() runs out of memory
while establishing the memmap:

nfit: fix translation of command status results
When transportation of the command completes successfully, it indicates
that the 'status' result is valid. Fix the missed checking and
translation of the status field at the end of acpi_nfit_ctl().
Otherwise, we fail to handle reported errors and assume commands
complete successfully.
