Commit a1f3e4d6a0c3 "libnvdimm, region: update nd_region_available_dpa()
for multi-pmem support" reworked blk dpa (DIMM Physical Address)
accounting to comprehend multiple pmem namespace allocations aliasing
with a given blk-dpa range.
The following call trace is a result of failing to account for allocated
blk capacity.
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 2433 at tools/testing/nvdimm/../../../drivers/nvdimm/names

nd_region region5: allocation underrun: 0x0 of 0x1000000 bytes

If a given blk-dpa allocation does not alias with any pmem ranges then
the full allocation should be accounted as busy space, not the size of
the current pmem contribution to the region.
The thinkos that led to this confusion was not realizing that the struct
resource management is already guaranteeing no collisions between pmem
allocations and blk allocations on the same dimm. Also, we do not try to
support blk allocations in aliased pmem holes.
This patch also fixes a case where the available blk goes negative.

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.
