Merge branch 'libnvdimm-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm
Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams: "Incremental fixes and a small feature addition on top of the main libnvdimm 4.12 pull request: - Geert noticed that tinyconfig was bloated by BLOCK selecting DAX. The size regression is fixed by moving all dax helpers into the dax-core and only specifying "select DAX" for FS_DAX and dax-capable drivers. He also asked for clarification of the NR_DEV_DAX config option which, on closer look, does not need to be a config option at all. Mike also throws in a DEV_DAX_PMEM fixup for good measure. - Ben's attention to detail on -stable patch submissions caught a case where the recent fixes to arch_copy_from_iter_pmem() missed a condition where we strand dirty data in the cache. This is tagged for -stable and will also be included in the rework of the pmem api to a proposed {memcpy,copy_user}_flushcache() interface for 4.13. - Vishal adds a feature that missed the initial pull due to pending review feedback. It allows the kernel to clear media errors when initializing a BTT (atomic sector update driver) instance on a pmem namespace. - Ross noticed that the dax_device + dax_operations conversion broke __dax_zero_page_range(). The nvdimm unit tests fail to check this path, but xfstests immediately trips over it. No excuse for missing this before submitting the 4.12 pull request. These all pass the nvdimm unit tests and an xfstests spot check. The set has received a build success notification from the kbuild robot" * 'libnvdimm-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: filesystem-dax: fix broken __dax_zero_page_range() conversion libnvdimm, btt: ensure that initializing metadata clears poison libnvdimm: add an atomic vs process context flag to rw_bytes x86, pmem: Fix cache flushing for iovec write < 8 bytes device-dax: kill NR_DEV_DAX block, dax: move "select DAX" from BLOCK to FS_DAX device-dax: Tell kbuild DEV_DAX_PMEM depends on DEV_DAX
