Hi Aneesh,

Apart from a minor review comment for changes to nd_pfn_validate() the
patch looks good to me.

Also, I Tested this patch on a PPC64 qemu guest with virtual nvdimm and
verified that default alignment of newly created devdax namespace was
64KiB instead of 16MiB. Below are the test results:

* Without the patch creating a devdax namespace results in namespace
   with 16MiB default alignment. Using daxio to zero out the dax device
   results in a SIGBUS and a hashing failure.

   $ sudo ndctl create-namespace --mode=devdax  | grep align
     "align":16777216,
   "align":16777216

   $ sudo cat /sys/devices/ndbus0/region0/dax0.0/supported_alignments
   65536 16777216

   $ sudo daxio.static-debug  -z -o /dev/dax0.0
   Bus error (core dumped)

Allow arch to provide the supported alignments and use hugepage alignment only
if we support hugepage. Right now we depend on compile time configs whereas this
patch switch this to runtime discovery.

Architectures like ppc64 can have THP enabled in code, but then can have
hugepage size disabled by the hypervisor. This allows us to create dax devices
with PAGE_SIZE alignment in this case.

Existing dax namespace with alignment larger than PAGE_SIZE will fail to
initialize in this specific case. We still allow fsdax namespace initialization.

With respect to identifying whether to enable hugepage fault for a dax device,
if THP is enabled during compile, we default to taking hugepage fault and in dax
fault handler if we find the fault size > alignment we retry with PAGE_SIZE
fault size.

Suggestion to change this check to:

if (memcmp(pfn_sb->signature, DAX_SIG, PFN_SIG_LEN) &&
    !nd_supported_alignment(align))

It would look  a bit more natural i.e. "If the device has dax signature and alignment is
not supported".


I guess that should be !memcmp()? . I will send an updated patch with the hash failure details in the commit message.
