Linus Torvalds 53ef7d0e20 libnvdimm for 4.12
* Region media error reporting: A libnvdimm region device is the parent
 to one or more namespaces. To date, media errors have been reported via
 the "badblocks" attribute attached to pmem block devices for namespaces
 in "raw" or "memory" mode. Given that namespaces can be in "device-dax"
 or "btt-sector" mode this new interface reports media errors
 generically, i.e. independent of namespace modes or state. This
 subsequently allows userspace tooling to craft "ACPI 6.1 Section
 9.20.7.6 Function Index 4 - Clear Uncorrectable Error" requests and
 submit them via the ioctl path for NVDIMM root bus devices.
 
 * Introduce 'struct dax_device' and 'struct dax_operations': Prompted by
 a request from Linus and feedback from Christoph this allows for dax
 capable drivers to publish their own custom dax operations. This fixes
 the broken assumption that all dax operations are related to a
 persistent memory device, and makes it easier for other architectures
 and platforms to add customized persistent memory support.
 
 * 'libnvdimm' core updates: A new "deep_flush" sysfs attribute is
 available for storage appliance applications to manually trigger memory
 controllers to drain write-pending buffers that would otherwise be
 flushed automatically by the platform ADR (asynchronous-DRAM-refresh)
 mechanism at a power loss event. Support for "locked" DIMMs is included
 to prevent namespaces from surfacing when the namespace label data area
 is locked. Finally, fixes for various reported deadlocks and crashes,
 also tagged for -stable.
 
 * ACPI / nfit driver updates: General updates of the nfit driver to add
 DSM command overrides, ACPI 6.1 health state flags support, DSM payload
 debug available by default, and various fixes.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "The bulk of this has been in multiple -next releases. There were a few
  late breaking fixes and small features that got added in the last
  couple days, but the whole set has received a build success
  notification from the kbuild robot.

  Change summary:

   - Region media error reporting: A libnvdimm region device is the
     parent to one or more namespaces. To date, media errors have been
     reported via the "badblocks" attribute attached to pmem block
     devices for namespaces in "raw" or "memory" mode. Given that
     namespaces can be in "device-dax" or "btt-sector" mode this new
     interface reports media errors generically, i.e. independent of
     namespace modes or state.

     This subsequently allows userspace tooling to craft "ACPI 6.1
     Section 9.20.7.6 Function Index 4 - Clear Uncorrectable Error"
     requests and submit them via the ioctl path for NVDIMM root bus
     devices.

   - Introduce 'struct dax_device' and 'struct dax_operations': Prompted
     by a request from Linus and feedback from Christoph this allows for
     dax capable drivers to publish their own custom dax operations.
     This fixes the broken assumption that all dax operations are
