Linus Torvalds 7d3bf613e9 libnvdimm for 4.18
* DAX broke a fundamental assumption of truncate of file mapped pages.
   The truncate path assumed that it is safe to disconnect a pinned page
   from a file and let the filesystem reclaim the physical block. With DAX
   the page is equivalent to the filesystem block. Introduce
   dax_layout_busy_page() to enable filesystems to wait for pinned DAX
   pages to be released. Without this wait a filesystem could allocate
   blocks under active device-DMA to a new file.
 
 * DAX arranges for the block layer to be bypassed and uses
   dax_direct_access() + copy_to_iter() to satisfy read(2) calls.
   However, the memcpy_mcsafe() facility is available through the pmem
   block driver. In order to safely handle media errors, via the DAX
   block-layer bypass, introduce copy_to_iter_mcsafe().
 
 * Fix cache management policy relative to the ACPI NFIT Platform
   Capabilities Structure to properly elide cache flushes when they are not
   necessary. The table indicates whether CPU caches are power-fail
   protected. Clarify that a deep flush is always performed on
   REQ_{FUA,PREFLUSH} requests.

Merge tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "This adds a user for the new 'bytes-remaining' updates to
  memcpy_mcsafe() that you already received through Ingo via the
  x86-dax- for-linus pull.

  Not included here, but still targeting this cycle, is support for
  handling memory media errors (poison) consumed via userspace dax
  mappings.

  Summary:

   - DAX broke a fundamental assumption of truncate of file mapped
     pages. The truncate path assumed that it is safe to disconnect a
     pinned page from a file and let the filesystem reclaim the physical
     block. With DAX the page is equivalent to the filesystem block.
     Introduce dax_layout_busy_page() to enable filesystems to wait for
     pinned DAX pages to be released. Without this wait a filesystem
     could allocate blocks under active device-DMA to a new file.

   - DAX arranges for the block layer to be bypassed and uses
     dax_direct_access() + copy_to_iter() to satisfy read(2) calls.
     However, the memcpy_mcsafe() facility is available through the pmem
     block driver. In order to safely handle media errors, via the DAX
     block-layer bypass, introduce copy_to_iter_mcsafe().

   - Fix cache management policy relative to the ACPI NFIT Platform
     Capabilities Structure to properly elide cache flushes when they
     are not necessary. The table indicates whether CPU caches are
     power-fail protected. Clarify that a deep flush is always performed
     on REQ_{FUA,PREFLUSH} requests"
