Hi Linus, please pull from:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm libnvdimm-fixes

...to receive several fixes to the DSM (ACPI device specific method)
marshaling implementation.

I consider these urgent enough to send for 4.9 consideration since they
fix the kernel's handling of ARS (Address Range Scrub) commands.
Especially for platforms without machine-check-recovery capabilities,
successful execution of ARS commands enables the platform to
potentially break out of an infinite reboot problem if a media error is
present in the boot path. There is also a one line fix for a device-dax
read-only mapping regression.

+ACI-acpi, nfit: fix extended status translations for ACPI DSMs+ACI- and
+ACI-device-dax: fix private mapping restriction, permit read-only+ACI- are
true regression fixes for changes introduced this cycle. +ACI-acpi, nfit,
libnvdimm: fix / harden ars+AF8-status output length handling+ACI- fixes the
kernel's handling of zero-length results, this never would have worked
in the past, but we only just recently discovered a BIOS implementation
that emits this arguably spec non-compliant result. The remaining two
commits are additional fall out from thinking through the implications
of a zero / truncated length result of the ARS Status command.

In order to mitigate the risk that these changes introduce yet more
regressions they are backstopped by a new unit test in
+ACI-tools/testing/nvdimm: unit test acpi+AF8-nfit+AF8-ctl()+ACI- that mocks inputs to
acpi+AF8-nfit+AF8-ctl().

Please consider pulling for 4.9, it has appeared in a -next release
with no reported issues.

acpi, nfit: fix extended status translations for ACPI DSMs

ACPI DSMs can have an 'extended' status which can be non-zero to convey
additional information about the command. In the xlat+AF8-status routine,
where we translate the command statuses, we were returning an error for
a non-zero extended status, even if the primary status indicated success.

Return from each command's 'case' once we have verified both its status
and extend status are good.

acpi, nfit, libnvdimm: fix / harden ars+AF8-status output length handling

Given ambiguities in the ACPI 6.1 definition of the +ACI-Output (Size)+ACI-
field of the ARS (Address Range Scrub) Status command, a firmware
implementation may in practice return 0, 4, or 8 to indicate that there
is no output payload to process.

The specification states +ACI-Size of Output Buffer in bytes, including this
field.+ACI-. However, 'Output Buffer' is also the name of the entire
payload, and earlier in the specification it states +ACI-Max Query ARS
Status Output Buffer Size: Maximum size of buffer (including the Status
and Extended Status fields)+ACI-.

Without this fix if the BIOS happens to return 0 it causes memory
corruption as evidenced by this result from the acpi+AF8-nfit+AF8-ctl() unit
test.

acpi, nfit: fix bus vs dimm confusion in xlat+AF8-status

Given dimms and bus commands share the same command number space we need
to be careful that we are translating status in the correct context.
Otherwise we can, for example, fail an ND+AF8-CMD+AF8-GET+AF8-CONFIG+AF8-SIZE command
because max+AF8-xfer is zero. It fails because that condition erroneously
correlates with the 'cleared +AD0APQ- 0' failure of ND+AF8-CMD+AF8-CLEAR+AF8-ERROR.

tools/testing/nvdimm: unit test acpi+AF8-nfit+AF8-ctl()

A recent flurry of bug discoveries in the nfit driver's DSM marshalling
routine has highlighted the fact that we do not have unit test coverage
for this routine. Add a self-test of acpi+AF8-nfit+AF8-ctl() routine before
probing the +ACI-nfit+AF8-test.0+ACI- device. This mocks stimulus to acpi+AF8-nfit+AF8-ctl()
and if any of the tests fail +ACI-nfit+AF8-test.0+ACI- will be unavailable causing
the rest of the tests to not run / fail.

This unit test will also be a place to land reproductions of quirky BIOS
behavior discovered in the field and ensure the kernel does not regress
against implementations it has seen in practice.

device-dax: fix private mapping restriction, permit read-only

Hugh notes in response to commit 4cb19355ea19 +ACI-device-dax: fail all
private mapping attempts+ACI-:

+ACI-I think that is more restrictive than you intended: haven't tried, but I
believe it rejects a PROT+AF8-READ, MAP+AF8-SHARED, O+AF8-RDONLY fd mmap, leaving no
way to mmap /dev/dax without write permission to it.+ACI-

Indeed it does restrict read-only mappings, switch to checking
VM+AF8-MAYSHARE, not VM+AF8-SHARED.
