commit 19deaa217bc04e83b59b5e8c8229eb0e53ad9efc upstream.
The alignment checks at pfn driver startup fail to properly account for
the 'start_pad' in the case where the namespace is misaligned relative
to its internal alignment. This is typically triggered in 1G aligned
namespace, but could theoretically trigger with small namespace
alignments. When this triggers the kernel reports messages of the form:
dax2.1: bad offset: 0x3c000000 dax disabled align: 0x40000000
Fixes: 1ee6667cd8d1 ("libnvdimm, pfn, dax: fix initialization vs autodetect...")

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.
