Aneesh Kumar K.V cf387d9644 libnvdimm/altmap: Track namespace boundaries in altmap
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.

This fix kernel crash reported below:

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

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
