Pull libnvdimm from Dan Williams:
"A rework of media error handling in the BTT driver and other updates.
It has appeared in a few -next releases and collected some late-
breaking build-error and warning fixups as a result.
Summary:
- Media error handling support in the Block Translation Table (BTT)
driver is reworked to address sleeping-while-atomic locking and
memory-allocation-context conflicts.
- The dax_device lookup overhead for xfs and ext4 is moved out of the
iomap hot-path to a mount-time lookup.
- A new 'ecc_unit_size' sysfs attribute is added to advertise the
read-modify-write boundary property of a persistent memory range.
- Preparatory fix-ups for arm and powerpc pmem support are included
along with other miscellaneous fixes"

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
