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"* tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: (34 commits)

Implement magic sysrequest handling for the VT220 terminal (also known as
the Integrated ASCII console on the HMC/SE).
To invoke a "magic sysrequest" function, press "Ctrl+o" followed by a
second character that designates the debugging function.The handling of the sysrq is scheduled away from the SCLP IRQ context;
because large amounts of sysrq output might fill up the console buffers.
The console might deadlock because it cannot empty the buffers while still
in the receiving IRQ context. This behavior is the same as for the SCLP
console.Reported-by: Horst Weber

The z/VM driver sets bit "63-22" in control register zero to one in order
to enable the CP Service interrupt (0x2603). However the irq subclass mask
that normally corresponds to the CP Service interrupt is
"63-54" (== "63-22-32").So it looks like the author read the documentation with the 32 bit sized
cr0 register bit positions (== 22), but didn't realize that bit numbers
change, if applied to a 64 bit register (== 54) due to the numbering
scheme.Also use irq_subclass_register() instead if ctl_set_bit() since multiple
services depend on the service signal subclass mask, which is the correct
bit. This also explains why nobody noticed the bug, since the bit is always
enabled anyway (e.g. pfault).Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens

The way the block layer is currently written, it goes to great lengths
to avoid having to split bios; upper layer code (such as bio_add_page())
checks what the underlying device can handle and tries to always create
bios that don't need to be split.But this approach becomes unwieldy and eventually breaks down with
stacked devices and devices with dynamic limits, and it adds a lot of
complexity. If the block layer could split bios as needed, we could
eliminate a lot of complexity elsewhere - particularly in stacked
drivers. Code that creates bios can then create whatever size bios are
convenient, and more importantly stacked drivers don't have to deal with
both their own bio size limitations and the limitations of the
(potentially multiple) devices underneath them. In the future this will
let us delete merge_bvec_fn and a bunch of other code.We do this by adding calls to blk_queue_split() to the various
make_request functions that need it - a few can already handle arbitrary
size bios. Note that we add the call _after_ any call to
blk_queue_bounce(); this means that blk_queue_split() and
blk_recalc_rq_segments() don't need to be concerned with bouncing
affecting segment merging.Some make_request_fn() callbacks were simple enough to audit and verify
they don't need blk_queue_split() calls. The skipped ones are:* nfhd_make_request (arch/m68k/emu/nfblock.c)
* axon_ram_make_request (arch/powerpc/sysdev/axonram.c)
* simdisk_make_request (arch/xtensa/platforms/iss/simdisk.c)
* brd_make_request (ramdisk - drivers/block/brd.c)
* mtip_submit_request (drivers/block/mtip32xx/mtip32xx.c)
* loop_make_request
* null_queue_bio
* bcache's make_request fnsSome others are almost certainly safe to remove now, but will be left
for future patches.Cc: Jens Axboe

NUMA emulation (aka fake NUMA) distributes the available memory to nodes
without using real topology information about the physical memory of the
machine.Splitting the system memory into nodes replicates the memory management
structures for each node. Particularly each node has its own "mm locks"
and its own "kswapd" task.For large systems, under certain conditions, this results in improved
system performance and/or latency based on reduced pressure on the mm
locks and the kswapd tasks.NUMA emulation distributes CPUs to nodes while respecting the original
machine topology information. This is done by trying to avoid to separate
CPUs which reside on the same book or even on the same MC. Because the
current Linux scheduler code requires a stable cpu to node mapping, cores
are pinned to nodes when the first CPU thread is set online.This patch is based on the initial implementation from Philipp Hachtmann.

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 callbackThe 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.Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

The dasd device driver selects which (alias or base) device is used
for a given requests when the request is build. If the chosen alias
device is set offline before the request gets queued to the device
queue the starting function may use device structures that are
already freed. This might lead to a hanging offline process or a
kernel panic.Add a check to the starting function that returns the request to the
upper layer if the device is already in offline processing.In addition to that prevent that an alias device that's already in

Eric noticed problems with vhost-scsi and virtio-ccw: vhost-scsi
complained about overwriting values in the config space, which
was triggered by a broken implementation of virtio-ccw's config
get/set routines. It was probably sheer luck that we did not hit
this before.When writing a value to the config space, the WRITE_CONF ccw will
always write from the beginning of the config space up to and
including the value to be set. If the config space up to the value
has not yet been retrieved from the device, however, we'll end up
overwriting values. Keep track of the known config space and update
if needed to avoid this.Moreover, READ_CONF will only read the number of bytes it has been
instructed to retrieve, so we must not copy more than that to the
buffer, or we might overwrite trailing values.Reported-by: Eric Farman

It turned out that SIGP set-multi-threading can only be done once.
Therefore switching to a different MT level after switching to
sclp.mtid_prev in the dump case fails.As a symptom specifying the "nosmt" parameter currently fails for
the kdump kernel and the kernel starts with multi-threading enabled.So fix this and issue diag 308 subcode 1 call after collecting the
CPU states for the dump. Also enhance the diag308_reset() function to
be usable also with enabled lowcore protection and prefix register != 0.
After the reset it is possible to switch the MT level again. We have
to do the reset very early in order not to kill the already initialized
console. Therefore instead of kmalloc() the corresponding memblock
functions have to be used. To avoid copying the sclp cpu code into
sclp_early, we now use the simple sigp loop method for CPU detection.Signed-off-by: Michael Holzheu

The SCLP interface to query, configure and deconfigure CPUs actually
operates on cores. For a machine without the multi-threading faciltiy
a CPU and a core are equivalent but starting with System z13 a core
can have multiple hardware threads, also referred to as logical CPUs.To avoid confusion replace the word 'cpu' with 'core' in the SCLP
interface. Also replace MAX_CPU_ADDRESS with SCLP_MAX_CORES.
The core-id is an 8-bit field, the maximum thread id is in the range
0-31. The theoretical limit for the CPU address is therefore 8191.Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

In case of request timeouts an AP queue reset will be triggered to
recover and reinitialize the AP queue. The previous behavior was an
immediate reset execution regardless of current/pending requests.
Due to newly changed firmware behavior the reset may be delayed, based
on the priority of pending request. The device driver's waiting time
frame was limited, hence it did not received the reset response. As a
consequence interrupts would not be enabled afterwards.The RAPQ (queue reset) and AQIC (interrupt control) commands will be
treated fully asynchronous now. The device driver will check the reset and
interrupt states periodically, thus it can handle the reinitialization
properly.Signed-off-by: Ingo Tuchscherer
