Currently libnvdimm uses HPAGE_SIZE as the default alignment for DAX and PFN devices. HPAGE_SIZE is the default hugetlbfs page size and when hugetlbfs is disabled it defaults to PAGE_SIZE. Given DAX has more in common with THP than hugetlbfs we should proably be using HPAGE_PMD_SIZE, but this is undefined when THP is disabled so lets just give it a new name. The other usage of HPAGE_SIZE in libnvdimm is when determining how large the altmap should be. For the reasons mentioned above it doesn't really make sense to use HPAGE_SIZE here either. PMD_SIZE seems to be safe to use in generic code and it happens to match the vmemmap allocation block on x86 and Power. It's still a hack, but it's a slightly nicer hack.

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.
