Hi Greg, please pull from:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm tags/libnvdimm-fixes-4.19-rc8
...to receive (2) urgent dax fixes for 4.19-rc8. They have appeared in
a -next release.
However, note that commit d7782145e1ad (+ACI-filesystem-dax: Fix
dax+AF8-layout+AF8-busy+AF8-page() livelock+ACI-) is immediately replaced with the
Xarray conversion targeting 4.20, so d7782145e1ad is the backport
suitable fix for the livelock for v4.19 and earlier.
Please pull, thanks+ACE-

mm: Preserve +AF8-PAGE+AF8-DEVMAP across mprotect() calls (2018-10-09 11:44:58 -0700)
----------------------------------------------------------------
libnvdimm/dax 4.19-rc8
+ACo- Fix a livelock in dax+AF8-layout+AF8-busy+AF8-page() present since v4.18. The
lockup triggers when truncating an actively mapped huge page out of a
mapping pinned for direct-I/O.
+ACo- Fix mprotect() clobbers of +AF8-PAGE+AF8-DEVMAP. Broken since v4.5 mprotect()
clears this flag that is needed to communicate the liveness of device
pages to the get+AF8-user+AF8-pages() path.
