Merge tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm
Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams: "The bulk of this update was stabilized before the merge window and appeared in -next. The "device dax" implementation was revised this week in response to review feedback, and to address failures detected by the recently expanded ndctl unit test suite. Not included in this pull request are two dax topic branches (dax error handling, and dax radix-tree locking). These topics were deferred to get a few more days of -next integration testing, and to coordinate a branch baseline with Ted and the ext4 tree. Vishal and Ross will send the error handling and locking topics respectively in the next few days. This branch has received a positive build result from the kbuild robot across 226 configs. Summary: - Device DAX for persistent memory: 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: a) Guarantees fault granularity with respect to a given page size (pte, pmd, or pud) set at configuration time. b) Enforces deterministic behavior by being strict about what fault scenarios are supported. Persistent memory is the first target, but the mechanism is also targeted for exclusive allocations of performance/feature differentiated memory ranges. - Support for the HPE DSM (device specific method) command formats. This enables management of these first generation devices until a unified DSM specification materializes. - Further ACPI 6.1 compliance with support for the common dimm identifier format. - Various fixes and cleanups across the subsystem" * tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: (40 commits) libnvdimm, dax: fix deletion libnvdimm, dax: fix alignment validation libnvdimm, dax: autodetect support libnvdimm: release ida resources Revert "block: enable dax for raw block devices" /dev/dax, core: file operations and dax-mmap /dev/dax, pmem: direct access to persistent memory libnvdimm: stop requiring a driver ->remove() method libnvdimm, dax: record the specified alignment of a dax-device instance libnvdimm, dax: reserve space to store labels for device-dax libnvdimm, dax: introduce device-dax infrastructure nfit: add sysfs dimm 'family' and 'dsm_mask' attributes tools/testing/nvdimm: ND_CMD_CALL support nfit: disable vendor specific commands nfit: export subsystem ids as attributes nfit: fix format interface code byte order per ACPI6.1 nfit, libnvdimm: limited/whitelisted dimm command marshaling mechanism nfit, libnvdimm: clarify "commands" vs "_DSMs" libnvdimm: increase max envelope size for ioctl acpi/nfit: Add sysfs "id" for NVDIMM ID ...
