Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:
 "A collection of locking and async operations fixes for v5.3-rc2. These
  had been soaking in a branch targeting the merge window, but missed
  due to a regression hunt. This fixed up version has otherwise been in
  -next this past week with no reported issues.

  In order to gain confidence in the locking changes the pull also
  includes a debug / instrumentation patch to enable lockdep coverage
  for libnvdimm subsystem operations that depend on the device_lock for
  exclusion. As mentioned in the changelog it is a hack, but it works
  and documents the locking expectations of the sub-system in a way that
  others can use lockdep to verify. The driver core touches got an ack
  from Greg.

  Summary:

   - Fix duplicate device_unregister() calls (multiple threads competing
     to do unregister work when scheduling device removal from a sysfs
     attribute of the self-same device).

   - Fix badblocks registration order bug. Ensure region badblocks are
     initialized in advance of namespace registration.

   - Fix a deadlock between the bus lock and probe operations.

   - Export device-core infrastructure to coordinate async operations
     via the device -&gt;dead state.

   - Add device-core infrastructure to validate device_lock() usage with
     lockdep"

<title>driver-core, libnvdimm: Let device subsystems add local lockdep coverage</title>

<content type='text'>
For good reason, the standard device_lock() is marked
lockdep_set_novalidate_class() because there is simply no sane way to
describe the myriad ways the device_lock() ordered with other locks.
However, that leaves subsystems that know their own local device_lock()
ordering rules to find lock ordering mistakes manually. Instead,
introduce an optional / additional lockdep-enabled lock that a subsystem
can acquire in all the same paths that the device_lock() is acquired.

A conversion of the NFIT driver and NVDIMM subsystem to a
lockdep-validate device_lock() scheme is included. The
debug_nvdimm_lock() implementation implements the correct lock-class and
stacking order for the libnvdimm device topology hierarchy.

Yes, this is a hack, but hopefully it is a useful hack for other
subsystems device_lock() debug sessions. Quoting Greg:

    "Yeah, it feels a bit hacky but it's really up to a subsystem to mess up
     using it as much as anything else, so user beware :)

     I don't object to it if it makes things easier for you to debug."

<id>urn:sha1:00289cd87676e14913d2d8492d1ce05c4baafdae</id>
<content type='text'>
The libnvdimm subsystem arranges for devices to be destroyed as a result
of a sysfs operation. Since device_unregister() cannot be called from
an actively running sysfs attribute of the same device libnvdimm
arranges for device_unregister() to be performed in an out-of-line async
context.

The driver core maintains a 'dead' state for coordinating its own racing
async registration / de-registration requests. Rather than add local
'dead' state tracking infrastructure to libnvdimm device objects, export
the existing state tracking via a new kill_device() helper.

The kill_device() helper simply marks the device as dead, i.e. that it
is on its way to device_del(), or returns that the device was already
dead. This can be used in advance of calling device_unregister() for
subsystems like libnvdimm that might need to handle multiple user
threads racing to delete a device.

This refactoring does not change any behavior, but it is a pre-requisite
for follow-on fixes and therefore marked for -stable.

   - scripts/get_abi.pl tool to display and parse Documentation/ABI
     entries in a simple way

   - cleanups to Documenatation/ABI/ entries to make them parse easier
     due to typos and other minor things

   - default_attrs use for some ktype users

   - driver model documentation file conversions to .rst

Pull iommu updates from Joerg Roedel:

 - Make the dma-iommu code more generic so that it can be used outside
   of the ARM context with other IOMMU drivers. Goal is to make use of
   it on x86 too.

 - Generic IOMMU domain support for the Intel VT-d driver. This driver
   now makes more use of common IOMMU code to allocate default domains
   for the devices it handles.

 - An IOMMU fault reporting API to userspace. With that the IOMMU fault
   handling can be done in user-space, for example to forward the faults
   to a VM.

 - Better handling for reserved regions requested by the firmware. These
   can be 'relaxed' now, meaning that those don't prevent a device being
   attached to a VM.

 - Suspend/Resume support for the Renesas IOMMU driver.

 - Added support for dumping SVA related fields of the DMAR table in the
   Intel VT-d driver via debugfs.

 - A pile of smaller fixes and cleanups.

<title>driver: core: Allow subsystems to continue deferring probe</title>
<updated>2019-07-03T19:28:20Z</updated>

<id>urn:sha1:62a6bc3a1e4f4ee9ae0076fa295f9af1c3725ce3</id>
<content type='text'>
Some subsystems, such as pinctrl, allow continuing to defer probe
indefinitely. This is useful for devices that depend on resources
provided by devices that are only probed after the init stage.

One example of this can be seen on Tegra, where the DPAUX hardware
contains pinmuxing controls for pins that it shares with an I2C
controller. The I2C controller is typically used for communication
with a monitor over HDMI (DDC). However, other instances of the I2C
controller are used to access system critical components, such as a
PMIC. The I2C controller driver will therefore usually be a builtin
driver, whereas the DPAUX driver is part of the display driver that
is loaded from a module to avoid bloating the kernel image with all
of the DRM/KMS subsystem.

In this particular case the pins used by this I2C/DDC controller
become accessible very late in the boot process. However, since the
controller is only used in conjunction with display, that's not an
issue.

Unfortunately the driver core currently outputs a warning message
when a device fails to get the pinctrl before the end of the init
stage. That can be confusing for the user because it may sound like
an unwanted error occurred, whereas it's really an expected and
harmless situation.

In order to eliminate this warning, this patch allows callers of the
driver_deferred_probe_check_state() helper to specify that they want
to continue deferring probe, regardless of whether we're past the
init stage or not. All of the callers of that function are updated
for the new signature, but only the pinctrl subsystem passes a true
value in the new persist parameter if appropriate.
