Hi Linus, please full from: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm tags/libnvdimm-for-4.10
...to receive the libnvdimm update for 4.10. The libnvdimm pull request is relatively small this time around due to some development topics being deferred to 4.11. However, Jan Kara has been busy enhancing the DAX implementation to allow for the clearing of radix-tree entries from the DAX dirty-cache-line tracking implementation. While you have already merged the bulk of that work from the mm, ext4, and xfs trees, a few straggling patches remain that were awaiting some final review feedback. Rather than include those patches on a random mid-merge-window baseline, I thought it would be best to attempt to merge them for -rc2 after some testing on top of -rc1. I believe the pending backlog is the top 6 commits of this tree: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/jack/linux-fs.git/log/?h=d ax As for this pull request the bulk of it has been in -next for several releases leading to one late fix being added (commit 868f036fee4b ("libnvdimm: fix mishandled nvdimm_clear_poison() return value")). It has received a build success notification from the 0day-kbuild robot and passes the latest libnvdimm unit tests. --- The following changes since commit 325896ffdf90f7cbd59fb873b7ba20d60d1ddf3c: device-dax: fix private mapping restriction, permit read-only (2016-12-06 17:42:37 -0800) are available in the git repository at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm tags/libnvdimm-for-4.10 for you to fetch changes up to c44ef859ceff45db1c72f9ccbfae96843c4b1501: Merge branch 'for-4.10/libnvdimm' into libnvdimm-for-next (2016-12-17 15:08:10 -0800) ---------------------------------------------------------------- libnvdimm for 4.10 * Dynamic label support: To date namespace label support has been limited to disambiguating cases where PMEM (direct load/store) and BLK (mmio aperture) accessed-capacity alias on the same DIMM. Since 4.9 added support for multiple namespaces per PMEM-region there is value to support namespace labels even in the non-aliasing case. The presence of a valid namespace index block force-enables label support when the kernel would otherwise rely on region boundaries, and permits the region to be sub-divided. * Handle media errors in namespace metadata: Complement the error handling for media errors in namespace data areas with support for clearing errors on writes, and downgrading potential machine-check exceptions to simple i/o errors on read. * Device-DAX region attributes: Add 'align', 'id', and 'size' as attributes for device-dax regions. In particular this enables userspace tooling to generically size memory mapping and i/o operations. Prevent userspace from growing assumptions / dependencies about the parent device topology for a dax region. A libnvdimm namespace may not always be the parent device of a dax region. * Various cleanups and small fixes. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Dan Williams (8): libnvdimm: allow a platform to force enable label support tools/testing/nvdimm: dynamic label support libnvdimm: use consistent naming for request_mem_region() libnvdimm, pfn: fix align attribute libnvdimm: replace mutex_is_locked() warnings with lockdep_assert_held libnvdimm: fix mishandled nvdimm_clear_poison() return value dax: add region 'id', 'size', and 'align' attributes Merge branch 'for-4.10/libnvdimm' into libnvdimm-for-next Dave Jiang (1): libnvdimm: check and clear poison before writing to pmem Fabian Frederick (3): libnvdimm: remove else after return in nsio_rw_bytes() libnvdimm, namespace: avoid multiple sector calculations libnvdimm, namespace: use octal for permissions Johannes Thumshirn (1): libnvdimm, e820: use module_platform_driver Nicolas Iooss (2): nvdimm: use the right length of "pmem" libnvdimm, namespace: fix the type of name variable Toshi Kani (1): libnvdimm: use generic iostat interfaces drivers/dax/dax.c | 94 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/dax/pmem.c | 3 +- drivers/nvdimm/claim.c | 46 ++++++++++++++------ drivers/nvdimm/core.c | 29 ------------- drivers/nvdimm/dimm.c | 2 + drivers/nvdimm/dimm_devs.c | 7 +++ drivers/nvdimm/e820.c | 12 +---- drivers/nvdimm/label.c | 2 +- drivers/nvdimm/namespace_devs.c | 8 ++-- drivers/nvdimm/nd.h | 12 ++++- drivers/nvdimm/pfn_devs.c | 2 +- drivers/nvdimm/pmem.c | 21 +++++---- drivers/nvdimm/region_devs.c | 2 +- tools/testing/nvdimm/test/nfit.c | 30 ++++++++++--- 14 files changed, 190 insertions(+), 80 deletions(-)
