Hi Linus, please pull from:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm libnvdimm-fixes

...to receive nvdimm fixes for v4.8, two of them are tagged for
-stable:

- Fix devm+AF8-memremap+AF8-pages() to use track+AF8-pfn+AF8-insert(). Otherwise, DAX
pmd mappings end up with an uncached pgprot, and unusable performance
for the device-dax interface. +AKA-The device-dax interface appeared in 4.7
so this is tagged for -stable.

- Fix a couple VM+AF8-BUG+AF8-ON() checks in the show+AF8-smaps() path to
understand DAX pmd entries. +AKA-This fix is tagged for -stable.

- Fix a mis-merge of the nfit machine-check handler to flip the
polarity of an if() to match the final version of the patch that Vishal
sent for 4.8-rc1. +AKA-Without this the nfit machine check handler never
detects / inserts new 'badblocks' entries which applications use to
identify lost portions of files.

- For test purposes, fix the nvdimm+AF8-clear+AF8-poison() path to operate on
legacy / simulated nvdimm memory ranges. +AKA-Without this fix a test can
set badblocks, but never clear them on these ranges.

- Fix the range checking done by dax+AF8-dev+AF8-pmd+AF8-fault(). +AKA-This is not
tagged for -stable since this problem is mitigated by specifying
aligned resources at device-dax setup time.

These patches have appeared in a next release over the past week. +AKA-The
recent rebase you can see in the timestamps was to drop an invalid fix
as identified by the updated device-dax unit tests +AFs-1+AF0-. +AKA-The -mm
touches have an ack from Andrew.

+AFs-1+AF0-: +ACIAWw-ndctl PATCH 0/3+AF0- device-dax test for recent kernel bugs+ACI-

    dax: fix mapping size check
    
    pgoff+AF8-to+AF8-phys() validates that both the starting address and the length
    of the mapping against the resource list.  We need to check for a
    mapping size of PMD+AF8-SIZE not PAGE+AF8-SIZE in the pmd fault path.

    mm: fix cache mode of dax pmd mappings
    
    track+AF8-pfn+AF8-insert() in vmf+AF8-insert+AF8-pfn+AF8-pmd() is marking dax mappings as
    uncacheable rendering them impractical for application usage.  DAX-pte
    mappings are cached and the goal of establishing DAX-pmd mappings is to
    attain more performance, not dramatically less (3 orders of magnitude).
    
    track+AF8-pfn+AF8-insert() relies on a previous call to reserve+AF8-memtype() to
    establish the expected page+AF8-cache+AF8-mode for the range.  While memremap()
    arranges for reserve+AF8-memtype() to be called, devm+AF8-memremap+AF8-pages() does
    not.  So, teach track+AF8-pfn+AF8-insert() and untrack+AF8-pfn() how to handle
    tracking without a vma, and arrange for devm+AF8-memremap+AF8-pages() to
    establish the write-back-cache reservation in the memtype tree.

    libnvdimm: allow legacy (e820) pmem region to clear bad blocks
    
    Bad blocks can be injected via /sys/block/pmemN/badblocks. In a situation
    where legacy pmem is being used or a pmem region created by using memmap
    kernel parameter, the injected bad blocks are not cleared due to
    nvdimm+AF8-clear+AF8-poison() failing from lack of ndctl function pointer. In
    this case we need to just return as handled and allow the bad blocks to
    be cleared rather than fail.
