Merge tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/…
…kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams: "libnvdimm updates for the latest ACPI and UEFI specifications. This pull request also includes new 'struct dax_operations' enabling to undo the abuse of copy_user_nocache() for copy operations to pmem. The dax work originally missed 4.12 to address concerns raised by Al. Summary: - Introduce the _flushcache() family of memory copy helpers and use them for persistent memory write operations on x86. The _flushcache() semantic indicates that the cache is either bypassed for the copy operation (movnt) or any lines dirtied by the copy operation are written back (clwb, clflushopt, or clflush). - Extend dax_operations with ->copy_from_iter() and ->flush() operations. These operations and other infrastructure updates allow all persistent memory specific dax functionality to be pushed into libnvdimm and the pmem driver directly. It also allows dax-specific sysfs attributes to be linked to a host device, for example: /sys/block/pmem0/dax/write_cache - Add support for the new NVDIMM platform/firmware mechanisms introduced in ACPI 6.2 and UEFI 2.7. This support includes the v1.2 namespace label format, extensions to the address-range-scrub command set, new error injection commands, and a new BTT (block-translation-table) layout. These updates support inter-OS and pre-OS compatibility. - Fix a longstanding memory corruption bug in nfit_test. - Make the pmem and nvdimm-region 'badblocks' sysfs files poll(2) capable. - Miscellaneous fixes and small updates across libnvdimm and the nfit driver. Acknowledgements that came after the branch was pushed: commit 6aa734a ("libnvdimm, region, pmem: fix 'badblocks' sysfs_get_dirent() reference lifetime") was reviewed by Toshi Kani <[email protected]>" * tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: (42 commits) libnvdimm, namespace: record 'lbasize' for pmem namespaces acpi/nfit: Issue Start ARS to retrieve existing records libnvdimm: New ACPI 6.2 DSM functions acpi, nfit: Show bus_dsm_mask in sysfs libnvdimm, acpi, nfit: Add bus level dsm mask for pass thru. acpi, nfit: Enable DSM pass thru for root functions. libnvdimm: passthru functions clear to send libnvdimm, btt: convert some info messages to warn/err libnvdimm, region, pmem: fix 'badblocks' sysfs_get_dirent() reference lifetime libnvdimm: fix the clear-error check in nsio_rw_bytes libnvdimm, btt: fix btt_rw_page not returning errors acpi, nfit: quiet invalid block-aperture-region warnings libnvdimm, btt: BTT updates for UEFI 2.7 format acpi, nfit: constify *_attribute_group libnvdimm, pmem: disable dax flushing when pmem is fronting a volatile region libnvdimm, pmem, dax: export a cache control attribute dax: convert to bitmask for flags dax: remove default copy_from_iter fallback libnvdimm, nfit: enable support for volatile ranges libnvdimm, pmem: fix persistence warning ...
