Prior to 25520d55cdb6 ("block: Inline blk_integrity in struct gendisk")
we needed to temporarily add a zero-capacity disk before registering for
blk-integrity. But adding a zero-capacity disk caused the partition
table scanning to bail early, and this resulted in partitions not coming
up after a probe of the BTT or blk namespaces.

We can now register for integrity before the disk has been added, and
this fixes the rescan problems.

<title>block: guard bvec iteration logic</title>

<content type='text'>
Currently if some one try to advance bvec beyond it's size we simply
dump WARN_ONCE and continue to iterate beyond bvec array boundaries.
This simply means that we endup dereferencing/corrupting random memory
region.

Sane reaction would be to propagate error back to calling context
But bvec_iter_advance's calling context is not always good for error
handling. For safity reason let truncate iterator size to zero which
will break external iteration loop which prevent us from unpredictable
memory range corruption. And even it caller ignores an error, it will
corrupt it's own bvecs, not others.

This patch does:
- Return error back to caller with hope that it will react on this
- Truncate iterator size

Code was added long time ago here 4550dd6c, luckily no one hit it
in real life :)

<title>bio-integrity: fold bio_integrity_enabled to bio_integrity_prep</title>

Currently all integrity prep hooks are open-coded, and if prepare fails
we ignore it's code and fail bio with EIO. Let's return real error to
upper layer, so later caller may react accordingly.

In fact no one want to use bio_integrity_prep() w/o bio_integrity_enabled,
so it is reasonable to fold it in to one function.

Note that device mapper overloaded bi_error with a private value, which

<title>libnvdimm: add an atomic vs process context flag to rw_bytes</title>

nsio_rw_bytes can clear media errors, but this cannot be done while we
are in an atomic context due to locking within ACPI. From the BTT,
-&gt;rw_bytes may be called either from atomic or process context depending
on whether the calls happen during initialization or during IO.

During init, we want to ensure error clearing happens, and the flag
marking process context allows nsio_rw_bytes to do that. When called
during IO, we're in atomic context, and error clearing can be skipped.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:

 - Replace pcommit with ADR / directed-flushing.

   The pcommit instruction, which has not shipped on any product, is
   deprecated.  Instead, the requirement is that platforms implement
   either ADR, or provide one or more flush addresses per nvdimm.

   ADR (Asynchronous DRAM Refresh) flushes data in posted write buffers
   to the memory controller on a power-fail event.

   Flush addresses are defined in ACPI 6.x as an NVDIMM Firmware
   Interface Table (NFIT) sub-structure: "Flush Hint Address Structure".
   A flush hint is an mmio address that when written and fenced assures
   that all previous posted writes targeting a given dimm have been
   flushed to media.

 - On-demand ARS (address range scrub).

   Linux uses the results of the ACPI ARS commands to track bad blocks
   in pmem devices.  When latent errors are detected we re-scrub the
   media to refresh the bad block list, userspace can also request a
   re-scrub at any time.

 - Support for the Microsoft DSM (device specific method) command
   format.

 - Support for EDK2/OVMF virtual disk device memory ranges.

 - Various fixes and cleanups across the subsystem.

   flushed to media.

 - On-demand ARS (address range scrub).

   Linux uses the results of the ACPI ARS commands to track bad blocks
   in pmem devices.  When latent errors are detected we re-scrub the
   media to refresh the bad block list, userspace can also request a
   re-scrub at any time.

 - Support for the Microsoft DSM (device specific method) command
   format.

 - Support for EDK2/OVMF virtual disk device memory ranges.

 - Various fixes and cleanups across the subsystem.

For block drivers that specify a parent device, convert them to use
device_add_disk().

This conversion was done with the following semantic patch:

    @@
    struct gendisk *disk;
    expression E;
    @@

    - disk-&gt;driverfs_dev = E;
    ...
    - add_disk(disk);
    + device_add_disk(E, disk);

    @@
    struct gendisk *disk;
    expression E1, E2;
    @@

    - disk-&gt;driverfs_dev = E1;
    ...
    E2 = disk;
    ...
    - add_disk(E2);
    + device_add_disk(E1, E2);

...plus some manual fixups for a few missed conversions.
