Linus Torvalds 20f14172cb Merge branch 'libnvdimm-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm
Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:
 "A 4.16 regression fix, three fixes for -stable, and a cleanup fix:

   - During the merge window support for the new ACPI NVDIMM Platform
     Capabilities structure disabled support for "deep flush", a
     force-unit- access like mechanism for persistent memory. Restore
     that mechanism.

   - VFIO like RDMA is yet one more memory registration / pinning
     interface that is incompatible with Filesystem-DAX. Disable long
     term pins of Filesystem-DAX mappings via VFIO.

   - The Filesystem-DAX detection to prevent long terms pins mistakenly
     also disabled Device-DAX pins which are not subject to the same
     block- map collision concerns.

   - Similar to the setup path, softlockup warnings can trigger in the
     shutdown path for large persistent memory namespaces. Teach
     for_each_device_pfn() to perform cond_resched() in all cases.

   - Boaz noticed that the might_sleep() in dax_direct_access() is stale
     as of the v4.15 kernel.

  These have received a build success notification from the 0day robot,
  and the longterm pin fixes have appeared in -next. However, I recently
  rebased the tree to remove some other fixes that need to be reworked
  after review feedback.

* 'libnvdimm-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm:
  memremap: fix softlockup reports at teardown
  libnvdimm: re-enable deep flush for pmem devices via fsync()
  vfio: disable filesystem-dax page pinning
  dax: fix vma_is_fsdax() helper
  dax: ->direct_access does not sleep anymore

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
