commit 9c573de3283af007ea11c17bde1e4568d9417328 upstream.

blk_queue_split marks bio unmergeable, which makes sense for normal bio.
But if dispatching the bio to underlayer disk, the blk_queue_split
checks are invalid, hence it's possible the bio becomes mergeable.

In the reported bug, this bug causes trim against raid0 performance slash

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "The bulk of this has appeared in -next and independently received a
  build success notification from the kbuild robot.  The 'for-4.5/block-
  dax' topic branch was rebased over the weekend to drop the "block
  device end-of-life" rework that Al would like to see re-implemented
  with a notifier, and to address bug reports against the badblocks
  integration.

  There is pending feedback against "libnvdimm: Add a poison list and
  export badblocks" received last week.  Linda identified some localized
  fixups that we will handle incrementally.

  Summary:

   - Media error handling: The 'badblocks' implementation that
     originated in md-raid is up-levelled to a generic capability of a
     block device.  This initial implementation is limited to being
     consulted in the pmem block-i/o path.  Later, 'badblocks' will be
     consulted when creating dax mappings.

   - Raw block device dax: For virtualization and other cases that want
     large contiguous mappings of persistent memory, add the capability
     to dax-mmap a block device directly.

   - Increased /dev/mem restrictions: Add an option to treat all
     io-memory as IORESOURCE_EXCLUSIVE, i.e. disable /dev/mem access
     while a driver is actively using an address range.  This behavior
     is controlled via the new CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM option and can be
     overridden by the existing "iomem=relaxed" kernel command line
     option.

   - Miscellaneous fixes include a 'pfn'-device huge page alignment fix,
     block device shutdown crash fix, and other small libnvdimm fixes"

<title>md/raid: only permit hot-add of compatible integrity profiles</title>

It is not safe for an integrity profile to be changed while i/o is
in-flight in the queue.  Prevent adding new disks or otherwise online
spares to an array if the device has an incompatible integrity profile.

The original change to the blk_integrity_unregister implementation in
md, commmit c7bfced9a671 "md: suspend i/o during runtime
blk_integrity_unregister" introduced an immediate hang regression.

This policy of disallowing changes the integrity profile once one has
been established is shared with DM.

Here is an abbreviated log from a test run that:
1/ Creates a degraded raid1 with an integrity-enabled device (pmem0s) [   59.076127]
2/ Tries to add an integrity-disabled device (pmem1m) [   90.489209]

Hot add journal disk in recovery thread context brings a lot of trouble
as IO could be running. Unlike spare disk hot add, adding journal disk
with array suspended makes more sense and implmentation is much easier.

md_new_event had removed sysfs_notify since 'commit 72a23c211e45

can use md_new_event and delete md_new_event_inintr.
