Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dave Jiang:

 - ensure that a variable passed in by reference to acpi_nfit_ctl is
   always set to a value. An incremental patch is provided due to notice
   from testing in -next. The rest of the commits did not exhibit
   issues.

 - fix a return path in nsio_rw_bytes() that was not returning "bytes
   remain" as expected for the function.

 - address an issue where applications polling on scrub-completion for
   the NVDIMM may falsely wakeup and read the wrong state value and
   cause hang.

 - change the test unit persistent capability attribute to fix up a
   broken assumption in the unit test infrastructure wrt the
   'write_cache' attribute

 - ratelimit dev_info() in the dax device check_vma() function since
   this is easily triggered from userspace

<title>dax: check for QUEUE_FLAG_DAX in bdev_dax_supported()</title>

<id>15256f6cc4b44f2e70503758150267fd2a53c0d6</id>
<content type='text'>
Add an explicit check for QUEUE_FLAG_DAX to __bdev_dax_supported().  This
is needed for DM configurations where the first element in the dm-linear or
dm-stripe target supports DAX, but other elements do not.  Without this
check __bdev_dax_supported() will pass for such devices, letting a
filesystem on that device mount with the DAX option.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "This adds a user for the new 'bytes-remaining' updates to
  memcpy_mcsafe() that you already received through Ingo via the
  x86-dax- for-linus pull.

  Not included here, but still targeting this cycle, is support for
  handling memory media errors (poison) consumed via userspace dax
  mappings.

  Summary:

   - DAX broke a fundamental assumption of truncate of file mapped
     pages. The truncate path assumed that it is safe to disconnect a
     pinned page from a file and let the filesystem reclaim the physical
     block. With DAX the page is equivalent to the filesystem block.
     Introduce dax_layout_busy_page() to enable filesystems to wait for
     pinned DAX pages to be released. Without this wait a filesystem
     could allocate blocks under active device-DMA to a new file.

   - DAX arranges for the block layer to be bypassed and uses
     dax_direct_access() + copy_to_iter() to satisfy read(2) calls.
     However, the memcpy_mcsafe() facility is available through the pmem
     block driver. In order to safely handle media errors, via the DAX
     block-layer bypass, introduce copy_to_iter_mcsafe().

   - Fix cache management policy relative to the ACPI NFIT Platform
     Capabilities Structure to properly elide cache flushes when they
     are not necessary. The table indicates whether CPU caches are
     power-fail protected. Clarify that a deep flush is always performed
     on REQ_{FUA,PREFLUSH} requests"

Pull overflow updates from Kees Cook:
 "This adds the new overflow checking helpers and adds them to the
  2-factor argument allocators. And this adds the saturating size
  helpers and does a treewide replacement for the struct_size() usage.
  Additionally this adds the overflow testing modules to make sure
  everything works.

  I'm still working on the treewide replacements for allocators with
  "simple" multiplied arguments:

     *alloc(a * b, ...) -&gt; *alloc_array(a, b, ...)

  and

     *zalloc(a * b, ...) -&gt; *calloc(a, b, ...)

  as well as the more complex cases, but that's separable from this
  portion of the series. I expect to have the rest sent before -rc1
  closes; there are a lot of messy cases to clean up.

  Summary:

   - Introduce arithmetic overflow test helper functions (Rasmus)

   - Use overflow helpers in 2-factor allocators (Kees, Rasmus)

   - Introduce overflow test module (Rasmus, Kees)

   - Introduce saturating size helper functions (Matthew, Kees)

One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding
the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along
with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example:

struct foo {
    int stuff;
    void *entry[];
};

instance = kmalloc(sizeof(struct foo) + sizeof(void *) * count, GFP_KERNEL);

Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can
now use the new struct_size() helper:

instance = kmalloc(struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL);

This patch makes the changes for kmalloc()-family (and kvmalloc()-family)
uses. It was done via automatic conversion with manual review for the
"CHECKME" non-standard cases noted below, using the following Coccinelle
script:

// pkey_cache = kmalloc(sizeof *pkey_cache + tprops-&gt;pkey_tbl_len *
//                      sizeof *pkey_cache-&gt;table, GFP_KERNEL);

Use dax_write_cache() and dax_write_cache_enabled() instead of open coding
the bit operations.

The function return values are confusing with the way the function is
named. We expect a true or false return value but it actually returns
0/-errno.  This makes the code very confusing. Changing the return values
to return a bool where if DAX is supported then return true and no DAX
support returns false.
