[PATCH v3 00/15] block, dax updates for 4.4

[Dan Williams]

Changes since v2: [1]

1/ Include a fix to revoke dax-mappings at device teardown time

2/ Include a blkdev_issue_flush implementation for pmem

3/ New block device ioctls to set/query dax mode, make dax opt-in

4/ Collect reviewed-by's

There were several topics developed during this cycle, some are ready
and some are not.  The items needing more review and testing are the
pmem+dax updates with mm, ext4, and xfs dependencies.  Topics like the
dax locking reworks, dax get_user_pages, and write-protecting dax ptes
after fsync/msync.

Instead, this more conservative set represents the fs and mm independent
updates to dax and pmem:

1/ Enable dax mappings for raw block devices

2/ Use blk_queue_{enter|exit} and the availability of 'struct page' to
   fix lifetime issues and races with unloading the pmem driver.

3/ Enable blkdev_issue_flush to fix legacy apps that may dirty pmem via
   dax mmap I/O.  Although legacy environments should consider disabling
   dax for apps that don't expect it.

These depend on the latest 'libnvdimm-for-next' branch from nvdimm.git
and the 'for-4.4/integrity' branch from Jens' tree.  All but the last
three have been out for review previously, and I am looking to submit
them towards the back half of the merge window.
