Pull dax and libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"The bulk of this is a rework of the dax_operations API after
discovering the obstacles it posed to the work-in-progress DAX+reflink
support for XFS and other copy-on-write filesystem mechanics.
Primarily the need to plumb a block_device through the API to handle
partition offsets was a sticking point and Christoph untangled that
dependency in addition to other cleanups to make landing the
DAX+reflink support easier.
The DAX_PMEM_COMPAT option has been around for 4 years and not only
are distributions shipping userspace that understand the current
configuration API, but some are not even bothering to turn this option
on anymore, so it seems a good time to remove it per the deprecation
schedule. Recall that this was added after the device-dax subsystem
moved from /sys/class/dax to /sys/bus/dax for its sysfs organization.
All recent functionality depends on /sys/bus/dax.
Some other miscellaneous cleanups and reflink prep patches are
included as well.
Summary:
- Simplify the dax_operations API:
- Eliminate bdev_dax_pgoff() in favor of the filesystem
maintaining and applying a partition offset to all its DAX iomap
operations.
- Remove wrappers and device-mapper stacked callbacks for
->copy_from_iter() and ->copy_to_iter() in favor of moving
block_device relative offset responsibility to the
dax_direct_access() caller.
- Remove the need for an @bdev in filesystem-DAX infrastructure
- Remove unused uio helpers copy_from_iter_flushcache() and
copy_mc_to_iter() as only the non-check_copy_size() versions are
used for DAX.
- Prepare XFS for the pending (next merge window) DAX+reflink support
- Remove deprecated DEV_DAX_PMEM_COMPAT support
- Cleanup a straggling misuse of the GUID api"

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
