Merge branch 'libnvdimm-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm
Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:
- Fix for the nd_blk (NVDIMM Block Window Aperture) driver.
A spec clarification requires the driver to mask off reserved bits in
status register. This is tagged for -stable back to the v4.2 kernel.
- Fix for a kernel crash in the nvdimm unit tests when module loading
is interrupted with SIGTERM. Tagged for -stable since validation
efforts external to Intel use the unit tests for qualifying
backports.
- Add a new 'size' sysfs attribute for the BTT (NVDIMM Block
Translation Table) driver to make it symmetric with the other
namespace personality drivers (PFN and DAX) that provide a size
attribute for indicating how much namespace capacity is lost to
metadata.
The BTT change arrived at the start of the merge window and has
appeared in a -next release. It can technically wait for 4.9, but it
is small, fixes asymmetry in the libnvdimm-sysfs interface, and
something I would have squeezed into the v4.8 pull request had it
arrived a few days earlier.
