Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "The bulk of this has been in multiple -next releases. There were a few
  late breaking fixes and small features that got added in the last
  couple days, but the whole set has received a build success
  notification from the kbuild robot.

  Change summary:

   - Region media error reporting: A libnvdimm region device is the
     parent to one or more namespaces. To date, media errors have been
     reported via the "badblocks" attribute attached to pmem block
     devices for namespaces in "raw" or "memory" mode. Given that
     namespaces can be in "device-dax" or "btt-sector" mode this new
     interface reports media errors generically, i.e. independent of
     namespace modes or state.

     This subsequently allows userspace tooling to craft "ACPI 6.1
     Section 9.20.7.6 Function Index 4 - Clear Uncorrectable Error"
     requests and submit them via the ioctl path for NVDIMM root bus
     devices.

   - Introduce 'struct dax_device' and 'struct dax_operations': Prompted
     by a request from Linus and feedback from Christoph this allows for
     dax capable drivers to publish their own custom dax operations.
     This fixes the broken assumption that all dax operations are
     related to a persistent memory device, and makes it easier for
     other architectures and platforms to add customized persistent
     memory support.

   - 'libnvdimm' core updates: A new "deep_flush" sysfs attribute is
     available for storage appliance applications to manually trigger
     memory controllers to drain write-pending buffers that would
     otherwise be flushed automatically by the platform ADR
     (asynchronous-DRAM-refresh) mechanism at a power loss event.
     Support for "locked" DIMMs is included to prevent namespaces from
     surfacing when the namespace label data area is locked. Finally,
     fixes for various reported deadlocks and crashes, also tagged for
     -stable.

   - ACPI / nfit driver updates: General updates of the nfit driver to
     add DSM command overrides, ACPI 6.1 health state flags support, DSM
     payload debug available by default, and various fixes.

brd: fix uninitialized use of brd->dax_dev

2017-05-03T18:30:03+00:00

commit 1647b9b9 "brd: add dax_operations support" introduced the allocation
and freeing of a dax_device, but the allocated dax_device is not stored
into the brd_device, so brd_del_one() will eventually operate on an
uninitialized brd->dax_dev.

Fix this by storing the allocated dax_device to brd->dax_dev.

block: remove block_device_operations ->direct_access()

2017-04-25T20:20:46+00:00

Now that all the producers and consumers of dax interfaces have been
converted to using dax_operations on a dax_device, remove the block
device direct_access enabling.

brd: add dax_operations support

2017-04-19T22:14:36+00:00

    
Setup a dax_inode to have the same lifetime as the brd block device and
add a ->direct_access() method that is equivalent to
brd_direct_access(). Once fs/dax.c has been converted to use
dax_operations the old brd_direct_access() will be removed.

brd: remove discard support

2017-04-08T17:25:38+00:00

It's just a in-driver reimplementation of writing zeroes to the pages,
which fails if the discards aren't page aligned.

  sed -i -e "s!$PATT!#include !" \
        $(git grep -l "$PATT"|grep -v ^include/linux/uaccess.h)

to do the replacement at the end of the merge window.

brd: remove support for BLKFLSBUF

2016-10-25T17:55:25+00:00

Discontinue having the brd driver destructively free all pages in the
ramdisk in response to the BLKFLSBUF ioctl.  Doing so allows a BLKFLSBUF
ioctl issued to a logical partition to destroy pages of the parent brd
device (and all other partitions of that brd device).

This change breaks compatibility - but in this case the compatibility
breaks more than it helps.

brd: Switch rd_size to unsigned long

2016-10-25T17:55:23+00:00

Currently rd_size was int which lead to overflow and bogus device size
once the requested ramdisk size was 1 TB or more. Although these days
ramdisks with 1 TB size are mostly a mistake, the days when they are
useful are not far.

block/mm: make bdev_ops->rw_page() take a bool for read/write

2016-08-07T20:41:02+00:00

Commit abf545484d31 changed it from an 'rw' flags type to the
newer ops based interface, but now we're effectively leaking
some bdev internals to the rest of the kernel. Since we only
care about whether it's a read or a write at that level, just
pass in a bool 'is_write' parameter instead.

Then we can also move op_is_write() and friends back under
CONFIG_BLOCK protection.

mm/block: convert rw_page users to bio op use

2016-08-04T20:25:33+00:00

The rw_page users were not converted to use bio/req ops. As a result
bdev_write_page is not passing down REQ_OP_WRITE and the IOs will
be sent down as reads.

Signed-off-by: Mike Christie 
Fixes: 4e1b2d52a80d ("block, fs, drivers: remove REQ_OP compat defs and related code")

Modified by me to:

1) Drop op_flags passing into ->rw_page(), as we don't use it.
2) Make op_is_write() and friends safe to use for !CONFIG_BLOCK
