Merge tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm
Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams: "The bulk of this has appeared in -next and independently received a build success notification from the kbuild robot. The 'for-4.5/block- dax' topic branch was rebased over the weekend to drop the "block device end-of-life" rework that Al would like to see re-implemented with a notifier, and to address bug reports against the badblocks integration. There is pending feedback against "libnvdimm: Add a poison list and export badblocks" received last week. Linda identified some localized fixups that we will handle incrementally. Summary: - Media error handling: The 'badblocks' implementation that originated in md-raid is up-levelled to a generic capability of a block device. This initial implementation is limited to being consulted in the pmem block-i/o path. Later, 'badblocks' will be consulted when creating dax mappings. - Raw block device dax: For virtualization and other cases that want large contiguous mappings of persistent memory, add the capability to dax-mmap a block device directly. - Increased /dev/mem restrictions: Add an option to treat all io-memory as IORESOURCE_EXCLUSIVE, i.e. disable /dev/mem access while a driver is actively using an address range. This behavior is controlled via the new CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM option and can be overridden by the existing "iomem=relaxed" kernel command line option. - Miscellaneous fixes include a 'pfn'-device huge page alignment fix, block device shutdown crash fix, and other small libnvdimm fixes" * tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: (32 commits) block: kill disk_{check|set|clear|alloc}_badblocks libnvdimm, pmem: nvdimm_read_bytes() badblocks support pmem, dax: disable dax in the presence of bad blocks pmem: fail io-requests to known bad blocks libnvdimm: convert to statically allocated badblocks libnvdimm: don't fail init for full badblocks list block, badblocks: introduce devm_init_badblocks block: clarify badblocks lifetime badblocks: rename badblocks_free to badblocks_exit libnvdimm, pmem: move definition of nvdimm_namespace_add_poison to nd.h libnvdimm: Add a poison list and export badblocks nfit_test: Enable DSMs for all test NFITs md: convert to use the generic badblocks code block: Add badblock management for gendisks badblocks: Add core badblock management code block: fix del_gendisk() vs blkdev_ioctl crash block: enable dax for raw block devices block: introduce bdev_file_inode() restrict /dev/mem to idle io memory ranges arch: consolidate CONFIG_STRICT_DEVM in lib/Kconfig.debug ...
