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.
