Pull block updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This is a bit bigger than it should be, but I could (did) not want to
  send it off last week due to both wanting extra testing, and expecting
  a fix for the bounce regression as well.  In any case, this contains:

   - Fix for the blk-merge.c compilation warning on gcc 5.x from me.

   - A set of back/front SG gap merge fixes, from me and from Sagi.
     This ensures that we honor SG gapping for integrity payloads as
     well.

   - Two small fixes for null_blk from Matias, fixing a leak and a
     capacity propagation issue.

   - A blkcg fix from Tejun, fixing a NULL dereference.

   - A fast clone optimization from Ming, fixing a performance
     regression since the arbitrarily sized bio's were introduced.

   - Also from Ming, a regression fix for bouncing IOs"

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
  block: fix bounce_end_io
  block: blk-merge: fast-clone bio when splitting rw bios
  block: blkg_destroy_all() should clear q-&gt;root_blkg and -&gt;root_rl.blkg
  block: Copy a user iovec if it includes gaps
  block: Refuse adding appending a gapped integrity page to a bio
  block: Refuse request/bio merges with gaps in the integrity payload
  block: Check for gaps on front and back merges
  null_blk: fix wrong capacity when bs is not 512 bytes
  null_blk: fix memory leak on cleanup
  block: fix bogus compiler warnings in blk-merge.c

zcomp_create() verifies the success of zcomp_strm_{multi,single}_create()
through comp-&gt;stream, which can potentially be pointing to memory that
was freed if these functions returned an error.

While at it, replace a 'ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM)' by a more generic
'ERR_PTR(error)' as in the future zcomp_strm_{multi,siggle}_create()
could return other error codes.  Function documentation updated
accordingly.

Make zram syslog error reporting more consistent. We have random
error levels in some places. For example, critical errors like
  "Error allocating memory for compressed page"
and
  "Unable to allocate temp memory"
are reported as KERN_INFO messages.

a) Reassign error levels

Error messages that directly affect zram
functionality -- pr_err():

 Error allocating zram address table
 Error creating memory pool
 Decompression failed! err=%d, page=%u
 Unable to allocate temp memory
 Compression failed! err=%d
 Error allocating memory for compressed page: %u, size=%zu
 Cannot initialise %s compressing backend
 Error allocating disk queue for device %d
 Error allocating disk structure for device %d
 Error creating sysfs group for device %d
 Unable to register zram-control class
 Unable to get major number

Messages that do not affect functionality, but user
must be warned (because sysfs attrs will be removed in
this particular case) -- pr_warn():

 %d (%s) Attribute %s (and others) will be removed. %s

Messages that do not affect functionality and mostly are
informative -- pr_info():

 Cannot change max compression streams
 Can't change algorithm for initialized device
 Cannot change disksize for initialized device
 Added device: %s
 Removed device: %s

b) Update sysfs_create_group() error message

First, it lacks a trailing new line; add it.  Second, every error message
in zram_add() has a "for device %d" part, which makes errors more
informative.  Add missing part to "Error creating sysfs group" message.

<title>zsmalloc: account the number of compacted pages</title>

Compaction returns back to zram the number of migrated objects, which is
quite uninformative -- we have objects of different sizes so user space
cannot obtain any valuable data from that number.  Change compaction to
operate in terms of pages and return back to compaction issuer the
number of pages that were freed during compaction.  So from now on we
will export more meaningful value in zram&lt;id&gt;/mm_stat -- the number of
freed (compacted) pages.

This requires:
 (a) a rename of `num_migrated' to 'pages_compacted'
 (b) a internal API change -- return first_page's fullness_group from
     putback_zspage(), so we know when putback_zspage() did
     free_zspage().  It helps us to account compaction stats correctly.

`zs_compact_control' accounts the number of migrated objects but it has
a limited lifespan -- we lose it as soon as zs_compaction() returns back
to zram.  It worked fine, because (a) zram had it's own counter of
migrated objects and (b) only zram could trigger compaction.  However,
this does not work for automatic pool compaction (not issued by zram).
To account objects migrated during auto-compaction (issued by the
shrinker) we need to store this number in zs_pool.

Define a new `struct zs_pool_stats' structure to keep zs_pool's stats
there.  It provides only `num_migrated', as of this writing, but it
surely can be extended.

A new zsmalloc zs_pool_stats() symbol exports zs_pool's stats back to
caller.

Use zs_pool_stats() in zram and remove `num_migrated' from zram_stats.

<title>Merge tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm</title>

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "This update has successfully completed a 0day-kbuild run and has
  appeared in a linux-next release.  The changes outside of the typical
  drivers/nvdimm/ and drivers/acpi/nfit.[ch] paths are related to the
  removal of IORESOURCE_CACHEABLE, the introduction of memremap(), and
  the introduction of ZONE_DEVICE + devm_memremap_pages().

  Summary:

   - Introduce ZONE_DEVICE and devm_memremap_pages() as a generic
     mechanism for adding device-driver-discovered memory regions to the
     kernel's direct map.

     This facility is used by the pmem driver to enable pfn_to_page()
     operations on the page frames returned by DAX ('direct_access' in
     'struct block_device_operations').

     For now, the 'memmap' allocation for these "device" pages comes
     from "System RAM".  Support for allocating the memmap from device
     memory will arrive in a later kernel.

   - Introduce memremap() to replace usages of ioremap_cache() and
     ioremap_wt().  memremap() drops the __iomem annotation for these
     mappings to memory that do not have i/o side effects.  The
     replacement of ioremap_cache() with memremap() is limited to the
     pmem driver to ease merging the api change in v4.3.

     Completion of the conversion is targeted for v4.4.

   - Similar to the usage of memcpy_to_pmem() + wmb_pmem() in the pmem
     driver, update the VFS DAX implementation and PMEM api to provide
     persistence guarantees for kernel operations on a DAX mapping.

   - Convert the ACPI NFIT 'BLK' driver to map the block apertures as
     cacheable to improve performance.

   - Miscellaneous updates and fixes to libnvdimm including support for
     issuing "address range scrub" commands, clarifying the optimal
     'sector size' of pmem devices, a clarification of the usage of the
     ACPI '_STA' (status) property for DIMM devices, and other minor
     fixes"

* tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: (34 commits)
