Merge branch 'libnvdimm-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm
Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams: "nvdimm fixes for v4.8, two of them are tagged for -stable: - Fix devm_memremap_pages() to use track_pfn_insert(). Otherwise, DAX pmd mappings end up with an uncached pgprot, and unusable performance for the device-dax interface. The device-dax interface appeared in 4.7 so this is tagged for -stable. - Fix a couple VM_BUG_ON() checks in the show_smaps() path to understand DAX pmd entries. This fix is tagged for -stable. - Fix a mis-merge of the nfit machine-check handler to flip the polarity of an if() to match the final version of the patch that Vishal sent for 4.8-rc1. Without this the nfit machine check handler never detects / inserts new 'badblocks' entries which applications use to identify lost portions of files. - For test purposes, fix the nvdimm_clear_poison() path to operate on legacy / simulated nvdimm memory ranges. Without this fix a test can set badblocks, but never clear them on these ranges. - Fix the range checking done by dax_dev_pmd_fault(). This is not tagged for -stable since this problem is mitigated by specifying aligned resources at device-dax setup time. These patches have appeared in a next release over the past week. The recent rebase you can see in the timestamps was to drop an invalid fix as identified by the updated device-dax unit tests [1]. The -mm touches have an ack from Andrew" [1]: "[ndctl PATCH 0/3] device-dax test for recent kernel bugs" https://lists.01.org/pipermail/linux-nvdimm/2016-September/006855.html * 'libnvdimm-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: libnvdimm: allow legacy (e820) pmem region to clear bad blocks nfit, mce: Fix SPA matching logic in MCE handler mm: fix cache mode of dax pmd mappings mm: fix show_smap() for zone_device-pmd ranges dax: fix mapping size check
