Dan Williams ab1b597ee0 mm, devm_memremap_pages: use multi-order radix for ZONE_DEVICE lookups
devm_memremap_pages() records mapped ranges in pgmap_radix with an entry
per section's worth of memory (128MB).  The key for each of those
entries is a section number.

This leads to false positives when devm_memremap_pages() is passed a
section-unaligned range as lookups in the misalignment fail to return
NULL.  We can close this hole by using the pfn as the key for entries in
the tree.  The number of entries required to describe a remapped range
is reduced by leveraging multi-order entries.

In practice this approach usually yields just one entry in the tree if
the size and starting address are of the same power-of-2 alignment.
Previously we always needed nr_entries = mapping_size / 128MB.

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.
