Yes I think that since subsection is aligned to PAGE_SIZE I can do:

size_t pci_p2pdma_align_size(size_t size)
{
         unsigned long min_align;

         min_align = memremap_compat_align();
         if (!IS_ALIGNED(size, min_align))
                 return ALIGN_DOWN(size, min_align);

         return size;
}


thoughts ?
