Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:
 "A handful of fixes to address a string of mistakes in the mechanism
  for device-mapper to determine if its component devices are dax
  capable.

   - Fix an original bug in device-mapper table reference counting when
     interrogating dax capability in the component device. This bug was
     hidden by the following bug.

   - Fix device-mapper to use the proper helper (dax_supported() instead
     of the leaf helper generic_fsdax_supported()) to determine dax
     operation of a stacked block device configuration. The original
     implementation is only valid for one level of dax-capable block
     device stacking. This bug was discovered while fixing the below
     regression.

   - Fix an infinite recursion regression introduced by broken attempts
     to quiet the generic_fsdax_supported() path and make it bail out
     before logging "dax capability not found" errors"

DM was calling generic_fsdax_supported() to determine whether a device
referenced in the DM table supports DAX. However this is a helper for "leaf" device drivers so that
they don't have to duplicate common generic checks. High level code
should call dax_supported() helper which that calls into appropriate
helper for the particular device. This problem manifested itself as
kernel messages:

dm-3: error: dax access failed (-95)

when lvm2-testsuite run in cases where a DM device was stacked on top of
another DM device.

Pull sound fixes from Takashi Iwai:
 "Here is a collection of fixes for 5.9. All look small and are nothing
  scary.

  The majority of changes are about ASoC driver- specific fixes, while
  there are a couple of ASoC core fixes (DAI lookup and lockdep stuff)
  and usual HD-audio quirks"

<title>mm: allow a controlled amount of unfairness in the page lock</title>

Commit 2a9127fcf229 ("mm: rewrite wait_on_page_bit_common() logic") made
the page locking entirely fair, in that if a waiter came in while the
lock was held, the lock would be transferred to the lockers strictly in
order.

That was intended to finally get rid of the long-reported watchdog
failures that involved the page lock under extreme load, where a process
could end up waiting essentially forever, as other page lockers stole
the lock from under it.

It also improved some benchmarks, but it ended up causing huge
performance regressions on others, simply because fair lock behavior
doesn't end up giving out the lock as aggressively, causing better
worst-case latency, but potentially much worse average latencies and
throughput.

Instead of reverting that change entirely, this introduces a controlled
amount of unfairness, with a sysctl knob to tune it if somebody needs
to.  But the default value should hopefully be good for any normal load,
allowing a few rounds of lock stealing, but enforcing the strict
ordering before the lock has been stolen too many times.

There is also a hint from Matthieu Baerts that the fair page coloring
may end up exposing an ABBA deadlock that is hidden by the usual
optimistic lock stealing, and while the unfairness doesn't fix the
fundamental issue (and I'm still looking at that), it avoids it in
practice.

The amount of unfairness can be modified by writing a new value to the
'sysctl_page_lock_unfairness' variable (default value of 5, exposed
through /proc/sys/vm/page_lock_unfairness), but that is hopefully
something we'd use mainly for debugging rather than being necessary for
any deep system tuning.

This whole issue has exposed just how critical the page lock can be, and
how contended it gets under certain locks.  And the main contention
doesn't really seem to be anything related to IO (which was the origin
of this lock), but for things like just verifying that the page file
mapping is stable while faulting in the page into a page table.
