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
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.

Provide block layer support for the kernel.

Disable this option to remove the block layer support from the

kernel. This may be useful for embedded devices.
|

If this option is disabled:
|
|
|
|
- block device files will become unusable
|
|
- some filesystems (such as ext3) will become unavailable.
|
|
|
|
Also, SCSI character devices and USB storage will be disabled since
|

they make use of various block layer definitions and facilities.

The ext4 filesystem requires that this feature be enabled in

order to support filesystems that have the huge_file feature

enabled. Otherwise, it will refuse to mount in the read-write

mode any filesystems that use the huge_file feature, which is

The GFS2 filesystem also requires this feature.

can handle complicated SCSI commands: tagged variable length cdbs

protocols (e.g. Task Management Functions and SMP in Serial

Block layer bio throttling support. It can be used to limit

the IO rate to a device. IO rate policies are per cgroup and

one needs to mount and use blkio cgroup controller for creating

Add .low limit interface for block throttling. The low limit is a best

background writeback from the VM, making it more smooth and having
