Pull misc DAX updates from Vishal Verma:
"DAX error handling for 4.7- Until now, dax has been disabled if media errors were found on any
device. This enables the use of DAX in the presence of these
errors by making all sector-aligned zeroing go through the driver.- The driver (already) has the ability to clear errors on writes that
are sent through the block layer using 'DSMs' defined in ACPI 6.1.Other misc changes:
- When mounting DAX filesystems, check to make sure the partition is
page aligned. This is a requirement for DAX, and previously, we
allowed such unaligned mounts to succeed, but subsequent
reads/writes would fail.- Misc/cleanup fixes from Jan that remove unused code from DAX
related to zeroing, writeback, and some size checks"* tag 'dax-misc-for-4.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm:

If a 3270 terminal is disconnected while the tty view is active
the 3270 driver goes into an endless loop of failed I/O requests

dcssblk_remove_store() holds the dcssblk_devices_sem semaphore while
calling device_unregister(), which in turn tries to acquire the kernfs
kn->dev_map rwsem for the device sysfs subtree. The same rwsem is also
acquired when using the per-device sysfs attributes in the device sub-tree,
and the attribute handlers then also acquire the dcssblk_devices_sem.This can lead to a deadlock when removing a DCSS while concurrently
reading from / writing to one of its sysfs attributes. The following

Reorder lcu and device lock to get rid of the error-prone trylock
mechanism.The locking order is lcu lock -> device lock.
This protects against changes to the lcu device lists and enables us
to iterate over the devices, take the cdev lock and make changes to
the device structures.The complicated part is the summary unit check handler that gets an
interrupt on one device of the lcu that leads to structural changes of
the whole lcu itself. This work needs to be done even if devices on
the lcu disappear. So a device independent worker is used.
The old approach tried to update some lcu structures and set up the
lcu worker in the interrupt context with the device lock held.
But this forced the lock order "cdev lock -> lcu lock" that made it
hard to have the lcu lock held and iterate over all devices and change
them.The new approach is to schedule a device specific worker that gets
out of the interrupt context and rid of the device lock for summary
unit checks. This worker is able to take the lcu lock and schedule the
lcu worker that updates all devices. The time between interrupt and
worker execution is no problem because the devices in the lcu reject
all I/O in this time with an appropriate error. The dasd driver can
deal with this situation and re-drive the I/O later on.Signed-off-by: Stefan Haberland

Convert the uses of pr_warning to pr_warn so there are fewer
uses of the old pr_warning.Miscellanea:
o Align arguments
o Coalesce formatsSigned-off-by: Joe Perches

Prepare for new format checking function by renaming functions and
moving reusable code to separate functions:- Move sanity checks into a new function and make it reusable.
- Move common format code to a new function called
dasd_eckd_format_process_data.
- Create the generic function dasd_eckd_format_build_ccw_req, which
itself will then decide what ccw request is being built according to
the input data. (with upcoming functionality).Signed-off-by: Jan Höppner

Currently, dasd_format is calling the format logic of a DASD discipline
with PAV enabled. If that fails with an error code of -EAGAIN the value
of retries is decremented and the discipline function is called with PAV
turned off.The loop is supposed to try this up to 255 times until success. However,
-EAGAIN can only occur once here and therefore the loop will never reach
the 255 retries.So, replace the unnecessarily complicated loop logic and simply try again
without PAV enabled in case of an -EAGAIN error.Signed-off-by: Jan Höppner
