Linus Torvalds 9f3a0941fb libnvdimm for 4.17 
* A rework of the filesytem-dax implementation provides for detection of
   unmap operations (truncate / hole punch) colliding with in-progress
   device-DMA. A fix for these collisions remains a work-in-progress
   pending resolution of truncate latency and starvation regressions.
 
 * The of_pmem driver expands the users of libnvdimm outside of x86 and
   ACPI to describe an implementation of persistent memory on PowerPC with
   Open Firmware / Device tree.
 
 * Address Range Scrub (ARS) handling is completely rewritten to account for
   the fact that ARS may run for 100s of seconds and there is no platform
   defined way to cancel it. ARS will now no longer block namespace
   initialization.
 
 * The NVDIMM Namespace Label implementation is updated to handle label
   areas as small as 1K, down from 128K.
 
 * Miscellaneous cleanups and updates to unit test infrastructure.

Merge tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "This cycle was was not something I ever want to repeat as there were
  several late changes that have only now just settled.

  Half of the branch up to commit d2c997c0f1 ("fs, dax: use
  page->mapping to warn...") have been in -next for several releases.
  The of_pmem driver and the address range scrub rework were late
  arrivals, and the dax work was scaled back at the last moment.

  The of_pmem driver missed a previous merge window due to an oversight.
  A sense of obligation to rectify that miss is why it is included for
  4.17. It has acks from PowerPC folks. Stephen reported a build failure
  that only occurs when merging it with your latest tree, for now I have
  fixed that up by disabling modular builds of of_pmem. A test merge
  with your tree has received a build success report from the 0day robot
  over 156 configs.

  An initial version of the ARS rework was submitted before the merge
  window. It is self contained to libnvdimm, a net code reduction, and
  passing all unit tests.

  The filesystem-dax changes are based on the wait_var_event()
  functionality from tip/sched/core. However, late review feedback
  showed that those changes regressed truncate performance to a large
  degree. The branch was rewound to drop the truncate behavior change
  and now only includes preparation patches and cleanups (with full acks
  and reviews). The finalization of this dax-dma-vs-trnucate work will
  need to wait for 4.18.

  Summary:

   - A rework of the filesytem-dax implementation provides for detection
     of unmap operations (truncate / hole punch) colliding with
     in-progress device-DMA. A fix for these collisions remains a
     work-in-progress pending resolution of truncate latency and
     starvation regressions.

   - The of_pmem driver expands the users of libnvdimm outside of x86
     and ACPI to describe an implementation of persistent memory on
     PowerPC with Open Firmware / Device tree.

   - Address Range Scrub (ARS) handling is completely rewritten to
     account for the fact that ARS may run for 100s of seconds and there
     is no platform defined way to cancel it. ARS will now no longer
     block namespace initialization.

   - The NVDIMM Namespace Label implementation is updated to handle
     label areas as small as 1K, down from 128K.

   - Miscellaneous cleanups and updates to unit test infrastructure"

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
