Let's document why the lock is not needed in acpi_scan_init(), right now
this is not really obvious.

<title>ACPI: PM: Fix regression in acpi_device_set_power()</title>

Commit f850a48a0799 ("ACPI: PM: Allow transitions to D0 to occur in
special cases") overlooked the fact that acpi_power_transition() may
change the power.state value for the target device and if that
happens, it may confuse acpi_device_set_power() and cause it to
omit the _PS0 evaluation which on some systems is necessary to
change power states of devices from low-power to D0.

Fix that by saving the current value of power.state for the
target device before passing it to acpi_power_transition() and
using the saved value in a subsequent check.

Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:
 "A collection of locking and async operations fixes for v5.3-rc2. These
  had been soaking in a branch targeting the merge window, but missed
  due to a regression hunt. This fixed up version has otherwise been in
  -next this past week with no reported issues.

  In order to gain confidence in the locking changes the pull also
  includes a debug / instrumentation patch to enable lockdep coverage
  for libnvdimm subsystem operations that depend on the device_lock for
  exclusion. As mentioned in the changelog it is a hack, but it works
  and documents the locking expectations of the sub-system in a way that
  others can use lockdep to verify. The driver core touches got an ack
  from Greg.

  Summary:

   - Fix duplicate device_unregister() calls (multiple threads competing
     to do unregister work when scheduling device removal from a sysfs
     attribute of the self-same device).

   - Fix badblocks registration order bug. Ensure region badblocks are
     initialized in advance of namespace registration.

   - Fix a deadlock between the bus lock and probe operations.

   - Export device-core infrastructure to coordinate async operations
     via the device -&gt;dead state.

   - Add device-core infrastructure to validate device_lock() usage with
     lockdep"

Merge yet more updates from Andrew Morton:
 "The rest of MM and a kernel-wide procfs cleanup.

  Summary of the more significant patches:

   - Patch series "mm/memory_hotplug: Factor out memory block

     Some spring-cleaning of the memory hotplug code, notably in
     drivers/base/memory.c

   - "mm: thp: fix false negative of shmem vma's THP eligibility". Yang
     Shi.

     Fix /proc/pid/smaps output for THP pages used in shmem.

   - "resource: fix locking in find_next_iomem_res()" + 1. Nadav Amit.

     Bugfix and speedup for kernel/resource.c

   - Patch series "mm: Further memory block device cleanups", David
     Hildenbrand.

     More spring-cleaning of the memory hotplug code.

   - Patch series "mm: Sub-section memory hotplug support". Dan
     Williams.

     Generalise the memory hotplug code so that pmem can use it more
     completely. Then remove the hacks from the libnvdimm code which
     were there to work around the memory-hotplug code's constraints.

   - "proc/sysctl: add shared variables for range check", Matteo Croce.

     We have about 250 instances of

          int zero;
          ...
                  .extra1 = &amp;zero,

     in the tree. This is a tree-wide sweep to make all those private
     "zero"s and "one"s use global variables.

     Alas, it isn't practical to make those two global integers const"

walk_memory_range() was once used to iterate over sections.  Now, it
iterates over memory blocks.  Rename the function, fixup the
documentation.

Also, pass start+size instead of PFNs, which is what most callers
already have at hand.  (we'll rework link_mem_sections() most probably
soon)

Follow-up patches will rework, simplify, and move walk_memory_blocks()
to drivers/base/memory.c.

Note: walk_memory_blocks() only works correctly right now if the
start_pfn is aligned to a section start.  This is the case right now,
but we'll generalize the function in a follow up patch so the semantics
match the documentation.

For good reason, the standard device_lock() is marked
lockdep_set_novalidate_class() because there is simply no sane way to
describe the myriad ways the device_lock() ordered with other locks.
However, that leaves subsystems that know their own local device_lock()
ordering rules to find lock ordering mistakes manually. Instead,
introduce an optional / additional lockdep-enabled lock that a subsystem
can acquire in all the same paths that the device_lock() is acquired.

A conversion of the NFIT driver and NVDIMM subsystem to a
lockdep-validate device_lock() scheme is included. The
debug_nvdimm_lock() implementation implements the correct lock-class and
stacking order for the libnvdimm device topology hierarchy.

Yes, this is a hack, but hopefully it is a useful hack for other
subsystems device_lock() debug sessions. Quoting Greg:

    "Yeah, it feels a bit hacky but it's really up to a subsystem to mess up
     using it as much as anything else, so user beware :)

     I don't object to it if it makes things easier for you to debug."

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "Primarily just the virtio_pmem driver:

   - virtio_pmem

     The new virtio_pmem facility introduces a paravirtualized
     persistent memory device that allows a guest VM to use DAX
     mechanisms to access a host-file with host-page-cache. It arranges
     for MAP_SYNC to be disabled and instead triggers a host fsync()
     when a 'write-cache flush' command is sent to the virtual disk
     device.

   - Miscellaneous small fixups"

* tag 'libnvdimm-for-5.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm:
  virtio_pmem: fix sparse warning
  xfs: disable map_sync for async flush
  ext4: disable map_sync for async flush
  dax: check synchronous mapping is supported
  dm: enable synchronous dax

Pull more ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These get rid of two clang warnings, add a new quirk mechanism to the
  ACPI backlight driver (and apply it to one machine) and update the
  table load object initialization in ACPICA (this is a replacement for
  a previously reverted ACPICA commit).

  Specifics:

   - Make ACPI table loading work more consistently regardless of the
     exact mechanism used for loading a table (Erik Schmauss).

   - Get rid of two clang warnings (Arnd Bergmann).

   - Add new quirk mechanism to the ACPI backlight driver and use it to
