So the previous you suggested had the check for pgmap_geometry() > PAGE_SIZE,
but because pgmap_geometry() return 1 by default, then the pfn_end() - pfn
computation wouldn't change for those that don't request a geometry.
So rather than this that you initially suggested:
refs = pfn_end(pgmap, range_id) - pfn_first(pgmap, range_id);
if (pgmap_geometry(pgmap) > 1)
refs /= pgmap_geometry(pgmap);
I would turn into this, because now for users which don't select geometry it's always a
division by 1:
refs = pfn_end(pgmap, range_id) - pfn_first(pgmap, range_id);
refs /= pgmap_geometry(pgmap);
So felt like doing it inline straight away inline when calling percpu_ref_get_many():
(pfn_end(pgmap, range_id) - pfn_first(pgmap, range_id)) / pgmap_geometry(pgmap);
I can switch to a shift if you prefer:
(pfn_end(pgmap, range_id) - pfn_first(pgmap, range_id))
<< pgmap_geometry_order(pgmap);

We started with @align (like in device dax core), and then we switched
to @geometry because these are slightly different things (one relates
to vmemmap metadata structure (number of pages) and the other is how
the mmap is aligned to a page size. I couldn't suggest anything else,
besides a more verbose name like vmemmap_align maybe.

This was mainly a defensive choice, similar to put_dev_pagemap(). There's
only one caller, which is populate_section_memmap with an altmap but without
pgmap.

Fixed.
Interesting that checkpatch doesn't complain with one character past 80 lines.
