Pull libnvdimm and dax updates from Dan Williams:
 "Save for a few late fixes, all of these commits have shipped in -next
  releases since before the merge window opened, and 0day has given a
  build success notification.

  The ext4 touches came from Jan, and the xfs touches have Darrick's
  reviewed-by. An xfstest for the MAP_SYNC feature has been through
  a few round of reviews and is on track to be merged.

   - Introduce MAP_SYNC and MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE, a mechanism to enable
     'userspace flush' of persistent memory updates via filesystem-dax
     mappings. It arranges for any filesystem metadata updates that may
     be required to satisfy a write fault to also be flushed ("on disk")
     before the kernel returns to userspace from the fault handler.
     Effectively every write-fault that dirties metadata completes an
     fsync() before returning from the fault handler. The new
     MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE mapping type guarantees that the MAP_SYNC flag
     is validated as supported by the filesystem's -&gt;mmap() file
     operation.

   - Add support for the standard ACPI 6.2 label access methods that
     replace the NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL (vendor specific) label methods.
     This enables interoperability with environments that only implement
     the standardized methods.

   - Add support for the ACPI 6.2 NVDIMM media error injection methods.

   - Add support for the NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL v1.6 DIMM commands for
     latch last shutdown status, firmware update, SMART error injection,
     and SMART alarm threshold control.

   - Cleanup physical address information disclosures to be root-only.

   - Fix revalidation of the DIMM "locked label area" status to support
     dynamic unlock of the label area.

   - Expand unit test infrastructure to mock the ACPI 6.2 Translate SPA
     (system-physical-address) command and error injection commands.

Pull gfs2 updates from Bob Peterson:
 "We've got a total of 17 GFS2 patches for this merge window. The
  patches are basically in three categories: (1) patches related to
  broken xfstest cases, (2) patches related to improving iomap and start
  using it in GFS2, and (3) general typos and clarifications.

  Please note that one of the iomap patches extends beyond GFS2 and
  affects other file systems, but it was publically reviewed by a
  variety of file system people in the community.

  From Andreas Gruenbacher:

   - rename variable 'bsize' to 'factor' to clarify the logic related to
     gfs2_block_map.

   - correctly set ctime in the setflags ioctl, which fixes broken
     xfstests test 277.

   - fix broken xfstest 258, due to an atime initialization problem.

   - fix broken xfstest 307, in which GFS2 was not setting ctime when
     setting acls.

   - switch general iomap code from blkno to disk offset for a variety
     of file systems.

   - add a new IOMAP_F_DATA_INLINE flag for iomap to indicate blocks
     that have data mixed with metadata.

   - implement SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA via iomap in GFS2.

   - fix failing xfstest case 066, which was due to not properly syncing
     dirty inodes when changing extended attributes.

   - fix a minor typo in a comment.

   - partially fix xfstest 424, which involved GET_FLAGS and SET_FLAGS
     ioctl. This is also a cleanup and simplification of the translation
     of flags from fs flags to gfs2 flags.

   - add support for STATX_ATTR_ in statx, which fixed broken xfstest
     424.

   - fix for failing xfstest 093 which fixes a recursive glock problem
     with gfs2_xattr_get and _set

  From me:

   - make inode height info part of the 'metapath' data structure to
     facilitate using iomap in GFS2.

   - start using iomap inside GFS2 and switch GFS2's block_map functions
     to use iomap under the covers.

   - switch GFS2's fiemap implementation from using block_map to using
     iomap under the covers.

   - fix journaled data pages not being properly synced to media when
     writing inodes. This was caught with xfstests.

   - fix another failing xfstest case in which switching a file from
     ordered_write to journaled data via set_flags caused a deadlock"

Add a flag to iomap interface informing the caller that inode needs
fdstasync(2) for returned extent to become persistent and use it in DAX
fault code so that we don't map such extents into page tables
immediately. Instead we propagate the information that fdatasync(2) is
necessary from dax_iomap_fault() with a new VM_FAULT_NEEDDSYNC flag.
Filesystem fault handler is then responsible for calling fdatasync(2)
and inserting pfn into page tables.

<title>License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license</title>

<id>b24413180f5600bcb3bb70fbed5cf186b60864bd</id>
<content type='text'>
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode &amp; Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode &amp; Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14

This patch implements iomap for block mapping, and switches the
block_map function to use it under the covers.

The additional IOMAP_F_BOUNDARY iomap flag indicates when iomap has
reached a "metadata boundary" and fetching the next mapping is likely to
incur an additional I/O.  This flag is used for setting the bh buffer
boundary flag.

Replace iomap-&gt;blkno, the sector number, with iomap-&gt;addr, the disk
offset in bytes.  For invalid disk offsets, use the special value
IOMAP_NULL_ADDR instead of IOMAP_NULL_BLOCK.

This allows to use iomap for mappings which are not block aligned, such
as inline data on ext4.
