Pull libnvdimm and dax updates from Dan Williams:
 "There were multiple touches outside of drivers/nvdimm/ this round to
  add cross arch compatibility to the devm_memremap_pages() interface,
  enhance numa information for persistent memory ranges, and add a
  zero_page_range() dax operation.

  This cycle I switched from the patchwork api to Konstantin's b4 script
  for collecting tags (from x86, PowerPC, filesystem, and device-mapper
  folks), and everything looks to have gone ok there. This has all
  appeared in -next with no reported issues.

  Summary:

   - Add support for region alignment configuration and enforcement to
     fix compatibility across architectures and PowerPC page size
     configurations.

   - Introduce 'zero_page_range' as a dax operation. This facilitates
     filesystem-dax operation without a block-device.

   - Introduce phys_to_target_node() to facilitate drivers that want to
     know resulting numa node if a given reserved address range was
     onlined.

   - Advertise a persistence-domain for of_pmem and papr_scm. The
     persistence domain indicates where cpu-store cycles need to reach
     in the platform-memory subsystem before the platform will consider
     them power-fail protected.

   - Promote numa_map_to_online_node() to a cross-kernel generic
     facility.

   - Save x86 numa information to allow for node-id lookups for reserved
     memory ranges, deploy that capability for the e820-pmem driver.

   - Pick up some miscellaneous minor fixes, that missed v5.6-final,
     including a some smatch reports in the ioctl path and some unit
     test compilation fixups.

   - Fixup some flexible-array declarations"

<id>urn:sha1:120c9257f5f19e5d1e87efcbb5531b7cd81b7d74</id>
<content type='text'>
This reverts commit effd58c95f277744f75d6e08819ac859dbcbd351.

blk_queue_split() is causing excessive IO splitting -- because
blk_max_size_offset() depends on 'chunk_sectors' limit being set and
if it isn't (as is the case for DM targets!) it falls back to
splitting on a 'max_sectors' boundary regardless of offset.

"Fix" this by reverting back to _not_ using blk_queue_split() in
dm_process_bio() for normal IO (reads and writes).  Long-term fix is
still TBD but it should focus on training blk_max_size_offset() to
call into a DM provided hook (to call DM's max_io_len()).

Test results from simple misaligned IO test on 4-way dm-striped device
with chunksize of 128K and stripesize of 512K:

xfs_io -d -c 'pread -b 2m 224s 4072s' /dev/mapper/stripe_dev

<content type='text'>
zero_page_range() dax operation is mandatory for dax devices. Right now
that check happens in dax_zero_page_range() function. Dan thinks that's
too late and its better to do the check earlier in alloc_dax().

I also modified alloc_dax() to return pointer with error code in it in
case of failure. Right now it returns NULL and caller assumes failure
happened due to -ENOMEM. But with this -&gt;zero_page_range() check, I
need to return -EINVAL instead.

Current make_request based drivers use either blk_alloc_queue_node or
blk_alloc_queue to allocate a queue, and then set up the make_request_fn
function pointer and a few parameters using the blk_queue_make_request
helper.  Simplify this by passing the make_request pointer to
blk_alloc_queue, and while at it merge the _node variant into the main
helper by always passing a node_id, and remove the superfluous gfp_mask
parameter.  A lower-level __blk_alloc_queue is kept for the blk-mq case.

We neither assign congested_fn for requested-based blk-mq device nor
implement it correctly. So fix both.

Also, remove incorrect comment from dm_init_normal_md_queue and rename
it to dm_init_congested_fn.

The function dm_suspended returns true if the target is suspended.
However, when the target is being suspended during unload, it returns
false.

An example where this is a problem: the test "!dm_suspended(wc-&gt;ti)" in
writecache_writeback is not sufficient, because dm_suspended returns
zero while writecache_suspend is in progress.  As is, without an
enhanced dm_suspended, simply switching from flush_workqueue to
drain_workqueue still emits warnings:
workqueue writecache-writeback: drain_workqueue() isn't complete after 10 tries
workqueue writecache-writeback: drain_workqueue() isn't complete after 100 tries
workqueue writecache-writeback: drain_workqueue() isn't complete after 200 tries
workqueue writecache-writeback: drain_workqueue() isn't complete after 300 tries
workqueue writecache-writeback: drain_workqueue() isn't complete after 400 tries

writecache_suspend calls flush_workqueue(wc-&gt;writeback_wq) - this function
flushes the current work. However, the workqueue may re-queue itself and
flush_workqueue doesn't wait for re-queued works to finish. Because of
this - the function writecache_writeback continues execution after the
device was suspended and then concurrently with writecache_dtr, causing
a crash in writecache_writeback.

We must use drain_workqueue - that waits until the work and all re-queued
works finish.

As a prereq for switching to drain_workqueue, this commit fixes
dm_suspended to return true after the presuspend hook and before the
postsuspend hook - just like during a normal suspend. It allows
simplifying the dm-integrity and dm-writecache targets so that they
don't have to maintain suspended flags on their own.

With this change use of drain_workqueue() can be used effectively.  This
change was tested with the lvm2 testsuite and cryptsetup testsuite and
the are no regressions.

Move blk_queue_make_request() to dm.c:alloc_dev() so that
q-&gt;make_request_fn is never NULL during the lifetime of a DM device
(even one that is created without a DM table).

Otherwise generic_make_request() will crash simply by doing:
  dmsetup create -n test
  mount /dev/dm-N /mnt

While at it, move -&gt;congested_data initialization out of
dm.c:alloc_dev() and into the bio-based specific init method.
