devm_memremap_pages: fix vmem_altmap lifetime + alignment handling
to_vmem_altmap() needs to return valid results until arch_remove_memory() completes. It also needs to be valid for any pfn in a section regardless of whether that pfn maps to data. This escape was a result of a bug in the unit test. The signature of this bug is that free_pagetable() fails to retrieve a vmem_altmap and goes off into the weeds: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) IP: [<ffffffff811d2629>] get_pfnblock_flags_mask+0x49/0x60 [..] Call Trace: [<ffffffff811d3477>] free_hot_cold_page+0x97/0x1d0 [<ffffffff811d367a>] __free_pages+0x2a/0x40 [<ffffffff8191e669>] free_pagetable+0x8c/0xd4 [<ffffffff8191ef4e>] remove_pagetable+0x37a/0x808 [<ffffffff8191b210>] vmemmap_free+0x10/0x20 Fixes: 4b94ffdc ("x86, mm: introduce vmem_altmap to augment vmemmap_populate()") Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Reported-by:Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by:
