      /dev/dax, pmem: direct access to persistent memory · ab68f262
      Dan Williams authored
      Device DAX is the device-centric analogue of Filesystem DAX
      (CONFIG_FS_DAX).  It allows memory ranges to be allocated and mapped
      without need of an intervening file system.  Device DAX is strict,
      precise and predictable.  Specifically this interface:
      
      1/ Guarantees fault granularity with respect to a given page size (pte,
      pmd, or pud) set at configuration time.
      
      2/ Enforces deterministic behavior by being strict about what fault
      scenarios are supported.
      
      For example, by forcing MADV_DONTFORK semantics and omitting MAP_PRIVATE
      support device-dax guarantees that a mapping always behaves/performs the
      same once established.  It is the "what you see is what you get" access
      mechanism to differentiated memory vs filesystem DAX which has
      filesystem specific implementation semantics.
      
      Persistent memory is the first target, but the mechanism is also
      targeted for exclusive allocations of performance differentiated memory
      ranges.
      
      This commit is limited to the base device driver infrastructure to
      associate a dax device with pmem range.

       "A few fixes for the current series. This contains:
      
         - Two fixes for NVMe:
      
           One fixes a reset race that can be triggered by repeated
           insert/removal of the module.
      
           The other fixes an issue on some platforms, where we get probe
           timeouts since legacy interrupts isn't working.  This used not to
           be a problem since we had the worker thread poll for completions,
           but since that was killed off, it means those poor souls can't
           successfully probe their NVMe device.  Use a proper IRQ check and
           probe (msi-x -> msi ->legacy), like most other drivers to work
           around this.  Both from Keith.
      
         - A loop corruption issue with offset in iters, from Ming Lei.
      
         - A fix for not having the partition stat per cpu ref count
           initialized before sending out the KOBJ_ADD, which could cause user
           space to access the counter prior to initialization.  Also from
           Ming Lei.
      
         - A fix for using the wrong congestion state, from Kaixu Xia"

        It fixes the FTRACE feature for parisc, which is horribly broken since

        bare minimum (it actually removes more lines than it adds), so that
        the function tracer works again on 32- and 64bit kernels.
      
        I've queued up additional patches on top of this patch which e.g. add
        the syscall tracer, but those have to wait for the merge window for
        v4.7."

      libnvdimm, pmem: clarify the write+clear_poison+write flow · 0a370d26
      Dan Williams authored
      The ACPI specification does not specify the state of data after a clear
      poison operation.  Potential future libnvdimm bus implementations for
      other architectures also might not specify or disagree on the state of
      data after clear poison.  Clarify why we write twice.

      block: loop: fix filesystem corruption in case of aio/dio · a7297a6a
      Ming Lei authored
      Starting from commit e36f6204(block: split bios to max possible length),
      block core starts to split bio in the middle of bvec.
      
      Unfortunately loop dio/aio doesn't consider this situation, and
      always treat 'iter.iov_offset' as zero. Then filesystem corruption
      is observed.
      
      This patch figures out the offset of the base bvevc via
      'bio->bi_iter.bi_bvec_done' and fixes the issue by passing the offset
      to iov iterator.
