Pull final vfs updates from Al Viro:

 - The -&gt;i_mutex wrappers (with small prereq in lustre)

 - a fix for too early freeing of symlink bodies on shmem (they need to
   be RCU-delayed) (-stable fodder)

 - followup to dedupe stuff merged this cycle

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  vfs: abort dedupe loop if fatal signals are pending
  make sure that freeing shmem fast symlinks is RCU-delayed
  wrappers for -&gt;i_mutex access
  lustre: remove unused declaration

<title>dax: support dirty DAX entries in radix tree</title>

<id>f9fe48bece3af2d60e1bad65db4825f5a025dd36</id>
<content type='text'>
Add support for tracking dirty DAX entries in the struct address_space
radix tree.  This tree is already used for dirty page writeback, and it
already supports the use of exceptional (non struct page*) entries.

In order to properly track dirty DAX pages we will insert new
exceptional entries into the radix tree that represent dirty DAX PTE or
PMD pages.  These exceptional entries will also contain the writeback
addresses for the PTE or PMD faults that we can use at fsync/msync time.

There are currently two types of exceptional entries (shmem and shadow)
that can be placed into the radix tree, and this adds a third.  We rely
on the fact that only one type of exceptional entry can be found in a
given radix tree based on its usage.  This happens for free with DAX vs
shmem but we explicitly prevent shadow entries from being added to radix
trees for DAX mappings.

The only shadow entries that would be generated for DAX radix trees
would be to track zero page mappings that were created for holes.  These
pages would receive minimal benefit from having shadow entries, and the
choice to have only one type of exceptional entry in a given radix tree
makes the logic simpler both in clear_exceptional_entry() and in the
rest of DAX.

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"

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:

Pull file locking updates from Jeff Layton:
 "File locking related changes for v4.5 (pile #1)

  Highlights:
   - new Kconfig option to allow disabling mandatory locking (which is
     racy anyway)
   - new tracepoints for setlk and close codepaths
   - fix for a long-standing bug in code that handles races between
     setting a POSIX lock and close()"

* tag 'locks-v4.5-1' of git://git.samba.org/jlayton/linux:
  locks: rename __posix_lock_file to posix_lock_inode
  locks: prink more detail when there are leaked locks
  locks: pass inode pointer to locks_free_lock_context
  locks: sprinkle some tracepoints around the file locking code
  locks: don't check for race with close when setting OFD lock
  locks: fix unlock when fcntl_setlk races with a close
  fs: make locks.c explicitly non-modular
  locks: use list_first_entry_or_null()
  locks: Don't allow mounts in user namespaces to enable mandatory locking
  locks: Allow disabling mandatory locking at compile time

If an application wants exclusive access to all of the persistent memory
provided by an NVDIMM namespace it can use this raw-block-dax facility
to forgo establishing a filesystem.  This capability is targeted
primarily to hypervisors wanting to provision persistent memory for
guests.  It can be disabled / enabled dynamically via the new BLKDAXSET
ioctl.
