Linus Torvalds bd799eb63d libnvdimm fixes 4.20-rc6
* 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.

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.
