Pull block driver updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the block driver pull request for 4.5, with the exception of
  NVMe, which is in a separate branch and will be posted after this one.

  This pull request contains:

   - A set of bcache stability fixes, which have been acked by Kent.
     These have been used and tested for more than a year by the
     community, so it's about time that they got in.

   - A set of drbd updates from the drbd team (Andreas, Lars, Philipp)
     and Markus Elfring, Oleg Drokin.

   - A set of fixes for xen blkback/front from the usual suspects, (Bob,
     Konrad) as well as community based fixes from Kiri, Julien, and
     Peng.

   - A 2038 time fix for sx8 from Shraddha, with a fix from me.

   - A small mtip32xx cleanup from Zhu Yanjun.

   - A null_blk division fix from Arnd"

* 'for-4.5/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (71 commits)
  null_blk: use sector_div instead of do_div
  mtip32xx: restrict variables visible in current code module
  xen/blkfront: Fix crash if backend doesn't follow the right states.
  xen/blkback: Fix two memory leaks.
  xen/blkback: make st_ statistics per ring
  xen/blkfront: Handle non-indirect grant with 64KB pages
  xen-blkfront: Introduce blkif_ring_get_request
  xen-blkback: clear PF_NOFREEZE for xen_blkif_schedule()
  xen/blkback: Free resources if connect_ring failed.
  xen/blocks: Return -EXX instead of -1
  xen/blkback: make pool of persistent grants and free pages per-queue
  xen/blkback: get the number of hardware queues/rings from blkfront
  xen/blkback: pseudo support for multi hardware queues/rings

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"

* tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: (32 commits)

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.

Set MD_HAS_JOURNAL when a array is loaded or journal is initialized.
This is to avoid the flags set too early in journal disk hotadd.

Pull misc vfs updates from Al Viro:
 "All kinds of stuff.  That probably should've been 5 or 6 separate
  branches, but by the time I'd realized how large and mixed that bag
  had become it had been too close to -final to play with rebasing.

  Some fs/namei.c cleanups there, memdup_user_nul() introduction and
  switching open-coded instances, burying long-dead code, whack-a-mole
  of various kinds, several new helpers for -&gt;llseek(), assorted
  cleanups and fixes from various people, etc.

  One piece probably deserves special mention - Neil's
  lookup_one_len_unlocked().  Similar to lookup_one_len(), but gets
  called without -&gt;i_mutex and tries to avoid ever taking it.  That, of
  course, means that it's not useful for any directory modifications,
  but things like getting inode attributes in nfds readdirplus are fine
  with that.  I really should've asked for moratorium on lookup-related
  changes this cycle, but since I hadn't done that early enough...  I
  *am* asking for that for the coming cycle, though - I'm going to try
  and get conversion of i_mutex to rwsem with -&gt;lookup() done under lock
  taken shared.

  There will be a patch closer to the end of the window, along the lines
  of the one Linus had posted last May - mechanical conversion of
  -&gt;i_mutex accesses to inode_lock()/inode_unlock()/inode_trylock()/
  inode_is_locked()/inode_lock_nested().  To quote Linus back then:

    -----
    |    This is an automated patch using
    |
    |        sed 's/mutex_lock(&amp;\(.*\)-&gt;i_mutex)/inode_lock(\1)/'
    |        sed 's/mutex_unlock(&amp;\(.*\)-&gt;i_mutex)/inode_unlock(\1)/'
    |        sed 's/mutex_lock_nested(&amp;\(.*\)-&gt;i_mutex,[     ]*I_MUTEX_\([A-Z0-9_]*\))/inode_lock_nested(\1, I_MUTEX_\2)/'
    |        sed 's/mutex_is_locked(&amp;\(.*\)-&gt;i_mutex)/inode_is_locked(\1)/'
    |        sed 's/mutex_trylock(&amp;\(.*\)-&gt;i_mutex)/inode_trylock(\1)/'
    |
    |    with a very few manual fixups
    -----

  I'm going to send that once the -&gt;i_mutex-affecting stuff in -next
  gets mostly merged (or when Linus says he's about to stop taking
  merges)"

* 'work.misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (63 commits)
  nfsd: don't hold i_mutex over userspace upcalls
  fs:affs:Replace time_t with time64_t
  fs/9p: use fscache mutex rather than spinlock
  proc: add a reschedule point in proc_readfd_common()
  logfs: constify logfs_block_ops structures
  fcntl: allow to set O_DIRECT flag on pipe
  fs: __generic_file_splice_read retry lookup on AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE
  fs: xattr: Use kvfree()
  [s390] page_to_phys() always returns a multiple of PAGE_SIZE
  nbd: use -&gt;compat_ioctl()
  fs: use block_device name vsprintf helper
  lib/vsprintf: add %*pg format specifier
  fs: use gendisk-&gt;disk_name where possible
  poll: plug an unused argument to do_poll
  amdkfd: don't open-code memdup_user()

Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:

 - The most significant set of changes this cycle is the Forward Error
   Correction (FEC) support that has been added to the DM verity target.

   Google uses DM verity on all Android devices and it is believed that
   this FEC support will enable DM verity to recover from storage
   failures seen since DM verity was first deployed as part of Android.

 - A stable fix for a race in the destruction of DM thin pool's
   workqueue

 - A stable fix for hung IO if a DM snapshot copy hit an error

 - A few small cleanups in DM core and DM persistent data.

 - A couple DM thinp range discard improvements (address atomicity of
   finding a range and the efficiency of discarding a partially mapped
   thin device)

 - Add ability to debug DM bufio leaks by recording stack trace when a
   buffer is allocated.  Upon detected leak the recorded stack is
   dumped.

* tag 'dm-4.5-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm:
  dm snapshot: fix hung bios when copy error occurs
  dm thin: bump thin and thin-pool target versions
  dm thin: fix race condition when destroying thin pool workqueue
  dm space map metadata: remove unused variable in brb_pop()
  dm verity: add ignore_zero_blocks feature
  dm verity: add support for forward error correction
  dm verity: factor out verity_for_bv_block()
  dm verity: factor out structures and functions useful to separate object
  dm verity: move dm-verity.c to dm-verity-target.c
  dm verity: separate function for parsing opt args
  dm verity: clean up duplicate hashing code
  dm btree: factor out need_insert() helper
  dm bufio: use BUG_ON instead of conditional call to BUG
  dm bufio: store stacktrace in buffers to help find buffer leaks
  dm bufio: return NULL to improve code clarity
  dm block manager: cleanup code that prints stacktrace
  dm: don't save and restore bi_private
  dm thin metadata: make dm_thin_find_mapped_range() atomic
  dm thin metadata: speed up discard of partially mapped volumes
