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.

dm: introduce a new DM_MAPIO_KILL return value

2017-05-01T22:19:03Z

This untangles the DM_MAPIO_* values returned from ->clone_and_map_rq from the error codes used by the block layer. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer

dm rq: change ->rq_end_io calling conventions

2017-05-01T22:19:03Z

Instead of returning either a DM_ENDIO_* constant or an error code, add a new DM_ENDIO_DONE value that means keep errno as is. This allows us to easily keep the existing error code in case where we can't push back, and it also preparares for the new block level status codes with strict type checking.

dm: introduce enum dm_queue_mode to cleanup related code

Introduce an enumeration type for the queue mode. This patch does not change any functionality but makes the DM code easier to read. Signed-off-by: Bart Van Assche Reviewed-by: Hannes Reinecke Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer

dm: teach dm-targets to use a dax_device + dax_operations

2017-04-25T20:20:36Z

Arrange for dm to lookup the dax services available from member devices. Update the dax-capable targets, linear and stripe, to route dax operations to the underlying device. Changes the target-internal ->direct_access() method to more closely align with the dax_operations ->direct_access() calling convention.

dm: mark targets that pass integrity data

2017-04-24T16:04:32Z

A dm-crypt on dm-integrity device incorrectly advertises an integrity profile on the DM crypt device. It can be seen in the files "/sys/block/dm-*/integrity/*" that both dm-integrity and dm-crypt target advertise the integrity profile. That is incorrect, only the dm-integrity target should advertise the integrity profile. A general problem in DM is that if we have a DM device that depends on another device with an integrity profile, the upper device will always advertise the integrity profile, even when the target driver doesn't support handling integrity data. Most targets don't support integrity data, so we provide a whitelist of targets that support it (linear, delay and striped). The targets that support passing integrity data to the lower device are marked with the flag DM_TARGET_PASSES_INTEGRITY. The DM core will now advertise integrity data on a DM device only if all the targets support the integrity data. Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer

dm: add dax_device and dax_operations support

2017-04-20T18:57:52Z

Allocate a dax_device to represent the capacity of a device-mapper instance. Provide a ->direct_access() method via the new dax_operations indirection that mirrors the functionality of the current direct_access support via block_device_operations. Once fs/dax.c has been converted to use dax_operations the old dm_blk_direct_access() will be removed. A new helper dm_dax_get_live_target() is introduced to separate some of the dm-specifics from the direct_access implementation. This enabling is only for the top-level dm representation to upper layers. Converting target direct_access implementations is deferred to a separate patch.
