Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "The bulk of this has been in -next since before the merge window
  opened, with no known collisions / issues reported.

  The only detail worth noting, outside the summary below, is that the
  "libnvdimm-start-pad" topic has been truncated to just cleanups and
  small fixes. The full topic branch would have doubled down on hacks
  around the "section alignment" limitation of the core-mm, instead
  effort is now being spent to address that root issue in the memory
  hotplug implementation for v5.2.

   - Fix nfit-bus command submission regression

   - Support retrieval of short-ARS results if the ARS state is
     "requires continuation", and even if the "no_init_ars" module
     parameter is specified

   - Allow busy-polling of the kernel ARS state by allowing root to
     reset the exponential back-off timer

   - Filter potentially stale ARS results by tracking query-ARS relative
     to the previous start-ARS

   - Enhance dax_device alignment checks

   - Add support for the Hyper-V family of device-specific-methods
     (DSMs)

   - Add several fixes and workarounds for Hyper-V compatibility

   - Fix support to cache the dirty-shutdown-count at init"

Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:

 - Update bio-based DM core to always call blk_queue_split() and update
   DM targets to properly advertise discard limits that
   blk_queue_split() looks at when dtermining to split discard. Whereby
   allowing DM core's own 'split_discard_bios' to be removed.

 - Improve DM cache target to provide support for discard passdown to
   the origin device.

 - Introduce support to directly boot to a DM mapped device from init by
   using dm-mod.create= module param. This eliminates the need for an
   elaborate initramfs that is otherwise needed to create DM devices.

   This feature's implementation has been worked on for quite some time
   (got up to v12) and is of particular interest to Android and other
   more embedded platforms (e.g. ARM).

 - Rate limit errors from the DM integrity target that were identified
   as the cause for recent NMI hangs due to console limitations.

 - Add sanity checks for user input to thin-pool and external snapshot
   creation.

 - Remove some unused leftover kmem caches from when old .request_fn
   request-based support was removed.

 - Various small cleanups and fixes to targets (e.g. typos, needless
   unlikely() annotations, use struct_size(), remove needless
   .direct_access method from dm-snapshot)

Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:

 - Update bio-based DM core to always call blk_queue_split() and update
   DM targets to properly advertise discard limits that
   blk_queue_split() looks at when dtermining to split discard. Whereby
   allowing DM core's own 'split_discard_bios' to be removed.

 - Improve DM cache target to provide support for discard passdown to
   the origin device.

 - Introduce support to directly boot to a DM mapped device from init by
   using dm-mod.create= module param. This eliminates the need for an
   elaborate initramfs that is otherwise needed to create DM devices.

   This feature's implementation has been worked on for quite some time
   (got up to v12) and is of particular interest to Android and other
   more embedded platforms (e.g. ARM).

 - Rate limit errors from the DM integrity target that were identified
   as the cause for recent NMI hangs due to console limitations.

 - Add sanity checks for user input to thin-pool and external snapshot
   creation.

 - Remove some unused leftover kmem caches from when old .request_fn
   request-based support was removed.

 - Various small cleanups and fixes to targets (e.g. typos, needless
   unlikely() annotations, use struct_size(), remove needless
   .direct_access method from dm-snapshot)

Pull io_uring IO interface from Jens Axboe:
 "Second attempt at adding the io_uring interface.

  Since the first one, we've added basic unit testing of the three
  system calls, that resides in liburing like the other unit tests that
  we have so far. It'll take a while to get full coverage of it, but
  we're working towards it. I've also added two basic test programs to
  tools/io_uring. One uses the raw interface and has support for all the
  various features that io_uring supports outside of standard IO, like
  fixed files, fixed IO buffers, and polled IO. The other uses the
  liburing API, and is a simplified version of cp(1).

  This adds support for a new IO interface, io_uring.

  io_uring allows an application to communicate with the kernel through
  two rings, the submission queue (SQ) and completion queue (CQ) ring.
  This allows for very efficient handling of IOs, see the v5 posting for
  some basic numbers:

    https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/20190116175003.17880-1-axboe@kernel.dk/

  Outside of just efficiency, the interface is also flexible and
  extendable, and allows for future use cases like the upcoming NVMe
  key-value store API, networked IO, and so on. It also supports async
  buffered IO, something that we've always failed to support in the
  kernel.

  Outside of basic IO features, it supports async polled IO as well.
  This particular feature has already been tested at Facebook months ago
  for flash storage boxes, with 25-33% improvements. It makes polled IO
  actually useful for real world use cases, where even basic flash sees
  a nice win in terms of efficiency, latency, and performance. These
  boxes were IOPS bound before, now they are not.

  This series adds three new system calls. One for setting up an
  io_uring instance (io_uring_setup(2)), one for submitting/completing
  IO (io_uring_enter(2)), and one for aux functions like registrating
  file sets, buffers, etc (io_uring_register(2)). Through the help of
  Arnd, I've coordinated the syscall numbers so merge on that front
  should be painless.

  Jon did a writeup of the interface a while back, which (except for
  minor details that have been tweaked) is still accurate. Find that
  here:

    https://lwn.net/Articles/776703/

  Huge thanks to Al Viro for helping getting the reference cycle code
  correct, and to Jann Horn for his extensive reviews focused on both
  security and bugs in general.

  There's a userspace library that provides basic functionality for
  applications that don't need or want to care about how to fiddle with
  the rings directly. It has helpers to allow applications to easily set
  up an io_uring instance, and submit/complete IO through it without
  knowing about the intricacies of the rings. It also includes man pages
  (thanks to Jeff Moyer), and will continue to grow support helper
  functions and features as time progresses. Find it here:

    git://git.kernel.dk/liburing

  Fio has full support for the raw interface, both in the form of an IO
  engine (io_uring), but also with a small test application (t/io_uring)
  that can exercise and benchmark the interface"
