* 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. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAABAgAGBQJbGxI7AAoJEB7SkWpmfYgCDjsP/2Lcibu9Kf4tKIzuInsle6iE 6qP29qlkpHVTpDKbhvIxTYTYL9sMU0DNUrpPCJR/EYdeyztLWDFC5EAT1wF240vf maV37s/uP331jSC/2VJnKWzBs2ztQxmKLEIQCxh6aT0qs9cbaOvJgB/WlVu+qtsl aGJFLmb6vdQacp31noU5plKrMgMA1pADyF5qx9I9K2HwowHE7T368ZEFS/3S//c3 LXmpx/Nfq52sGu/qbRbu6B1CTJhIGhmarObyQnvBYoKntK1Ov4e8DS95wD3EhNDe FuRkOCUKhjl6cFy7QVWh1ct1bFm84ny+b4/AtbpOmv9l/+0mveJ7e+5mu8HQTifT wYiEe2xzXJ+OG/xntv8SvlZKMpjP3BqI0jYsTutsjT4oHrciiXdXM186cyS+BiGp KtFmWyncQJgfiTq6+Hj5XpP9BapNS+OYdYgUagw9ZwzdzptuGFYUMSVOBrYrn6c/ fwqtxjubykJoW0P3pkIoT91arFSea7nxOKnGwft06imQ7TwR4ARsI308feQ9itJq 2P2e7/20nYMsw2aRaUDDA70Yu+Lagn1m8WL87IybUGeUDLb1BAkjphAlWa6COJ+u PhvAD2tvyM9m0c7O5Mytvz7iWKG6SVgatoAyOPkaeplQK8khZ+wEpuK58sO6C1w8 4GBvt9ri9i/Ww/A+ppWs =4bfw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm 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.

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.
