Merge branch 'libnvdimm-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm
Pull nvdimm fixes from Dan Williams: "A small crop of lockdep, sleeping while atomic, and other fixes / band-aids in advance of the full-blown reworks targeting the next merge window. The largest change here is "libnvdimm: fix blk free space accounting" which deletes a pile of buggy code that better testing would have caught before merging. The next change that is borderline too big for a late rc is switching the device-dax locking from rcu to srcu, I couldn't think of a smaller way to make that fix. The __copy_user_nocache fix will have a full replacement in 4.12 to move those pmem special case considerations into the pmem driver. The "libnvdimm: band aid btt vs clear poison locking" commit admits that our error clearing support for btt went in broken, so we just disable it in 4.11 and -stable. A replacement / full fix is in the pipeline for 4.12 Some of these would have been caught earlier had DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP been enabled on my development station. I wonder if we should have: config DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP default PROVE_LOCKING ...since I mistakenly thought I got both with PROVE_LOCKING=y. These have received a build success notification from the 0day robot, and some have appeared in a -next release with no reported issues" * 'libnvdimm-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: x86, pmem: fix broken __copy_user_nocache cache-bypass assumptions device-dax: switch to srcu, fix rcu_read_lock() vs pte allocation libnvdimm: band aid btt vs clear poison locking libnvdimm: fix reconfig_mutex, mmap_sem, and jbd2_handle lockdep splat libnvdimm: fix blk free space accounting acpi, nfit, libnvdimm: fix interleave set cookie calculation (64-bit comparison)
