Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"This update has successfully completed a 0day-kbuild run and has
appeared in a linux-next release. The changes outside of the typical
drivers/nvdimm/ and drivers/acpi/nfit.[ch] paths are related to the
removal of IORESOURCE_CACHEABLE, the introduction of memremap(), and
the introduction of ZONE_DEVICE + devm_memremap_pages().
Summary:
- Introduce ZONE_DEVICE and devm_memremap_pages() as a generic
mechanism for adding device-driver-discovered memory regions to the
kernel's direct map.
This facility is used by the pmem driver to enable pfn_to_page()
operations on the page frames returned by DAX ('direct_access' in
'struct block_device_operations').
For now, the 'memmap' allocation for these "device" pages comes
from "System RAM". Support for allocating the memmap from device
memory will arrive in a later kernel.
- Introduce memremap() to replace usages of ioremap_cache() and
ioremap_wt(). memremap() drops the __iomem annotation for these
mappings to memory that do not have i/o side effects. The
replacement of ioremap_cache() with memremap() is limited to the
pmem driver to ease merging the api change in v4.3.
Completion of the conversion is targeted for v4.4.
- Similar to the usage of memcpy_to_pmem() + wmb_pmem() in the pmem
driver, update the VFS DAX implementation and PMEM api to provide
persistence guarantees for kernel operations on a DAX mapping.
- Convert the ACPI NFIT 'BLK' driver to map the block apertures as
cacheable to improve performance.
- Miscellaneous updates and fixes to libnvdimm including support for
issuing "address range scrub" commands, clarifying the optimal
'sector size' of pmem devices, a clarification of the usage of the
ACPI '_STA' (status) property for DIMM devices, and other minor
fixes"

Update the annotation for the kaddr pointer returned by direct_access()

Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO:
(1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag
(2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback
The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible
error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent
when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent
bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms
available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors
and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of
them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds
of error returns.
So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct
bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

Because of the direct_access() API which returns a PFN. partitions
better start on 4K boundary, else offset ZERO of a partition will
not be aligned and blk_direct_access() will fail the call.
By setting blk_queue_physical_block_size(PAGE_SIZE) we can communicate
this to fdisk and friends.
The call to blk_queue_physical_block_size() is harmless and will
not affect the Kernel behavior in any way. It is only for
communication to user-mode.
before this patch running fdisk on a default size brd of 4M
the first sector offered is 34 (BAD), but after this patch it
will be 40, ie 8 sectors aligned. Also when entering some random
partition sizes the next partition-start sector is offered 8 sectors
aligned after this patch. (Please note that with fdisk the user
can still enter bad values, only the offered default values will
be correct)
Note that with bdev-size > 4M fdisk will try to align on a 1M
boundary (above first-sector will be 2048), in any case.

This patch fixes up brd's partitions scheme, now enjoying all worlds.
The MAIN fix here is that currently, if one fdisks some partitions,
a BAD bug will make all partitions point to the same start-end sector
ie: 0 - brd_size And an mkfs of any partition would trash the partition
table and the other partition.
Another fix is that "mount -U uuid" will not work if show_part was not
specified, because of the GENHD_FL_SUPPRESS_PARTITION_INFO flag.
We now always load without it and remove the show_part parameter.
[We remove Dmitry's new module-param part_show it is now always
show]
So NOW the logic goes like this:
* max_part - Just says how many minors to reserve between ramX
devices. In any way, there can be as many partition as requested.
If minors between devices ends, then dynamic 259-major ids will
be allocated on the fly.
The default is now max_part=1, which means all partitions devt(s)
will be from the dynamic (259) major-range.
(If persistent partition minors is needed use max_part=X)
For example with /dev/sdX max_part is hard coded 16.
* Creation of new devices on the fly still/always work:
mknod /path/devnod b 1 X
fdisk -l /path/devnod
Will create a new device if [X / max_part] was not already
created before. (Just as before)
partitions on the dynamically created device will work as well
Same logic applies with minors as with the pre-created ones.
TODO: dynamic grow of device size. So each device can have it's
own size.

In order to support accesses to larger chunks of memory, pass in a
'size' parameter (counted in bytes), and return the amount available at
that address.
Add a new helper function, bdev_direct_access(), to handle common
functionality including partition handling, checking the length requested
is positive, checking for the sector being page-aligned, and checking
the length of the request does not pass the end of the partition.

There is very little benefit in allowing to let a ->make_request
instance update the bios device and sector and loop around it in
__generic_make_request when we can archive the same through calling
generic_make_request from the driver and letting the loop in
generic_make_request handle it.

Export 'rd_nr', 'rd_size' and 'max_part' parameters to sysfs so user can
know that how many devices are allowed, how big each device is and how
many partitions are supported. If 'max_part' is 0, it means simply the
device doesn't support partitioning.
Also note that 'max_part' can be adjusted to power of 2 minus 1 form if
needed. User should check this value after the module loading if he/she
want to use that number correctly (i.e. fdisk, mknod, etc.).

When finding or allocating a ram disk device, brd_probe() did not take
partition numbers into account so that it can result to a different
device. Consider following example (I set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM_COUNT=4
for simplicity) :
$ sudo modprobe brd max_part=15
$ ls -l /dev/ram*
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 1, 0 2011-05-25 15:41 /dev/ram0
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 1, 16 2011-05-25 15:41 /dev/ram1
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 1, 32 2011-05-25 15:41 /dev/ram2
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 1, 48 2011-05-25 15:41 /dev/ram3
$ sudo mknod /dev/ram4 b 1 64
$ sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ram4 bs=4k count=256
256+0 records in
256+0 records out
1048576 bytes (1.0 MB) copied, 0.00215578 s, 486 MB/s
namhyung@leonhard:linux$ ls -l /dev/ram*
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 1, 0 2011-05-25 15:41 /dev/ram0
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 1, 16 2011-05-25 15:41 /dev/ram1
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 1, 32 2011-05-25 15:41 /dev/ram2
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 1, 48 2011-05-25 15:41 /dev/ram3
brw-r--r-- 1 root root 1, 64 2011-05-25 15:45 /dev/ram4
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 1, 1024 2011-05-25 15:44 /dev/ram64
After this patch, /dev/ram4 - instead of /dev/ram64 - was
accessed correctly.
In addition, 'range' passed to blk_register_region() should
include all range of dev_t that RAMDISK_MAJOR can address.
It does not need to be limited by partition numbers unless
'rd_nr' param was specified.
