This patch set contains various code improvements and cleanups that were inspired by Al Viro upon reviewing the cxlflash driver. The core improvement is that the driver will no longer cache the adapter file descriptor associated with a context. This results in a user API change that is documented alongside the modifications. The series is based upon 4.8-rc1, intended for 4.9, and is bisectable. Matthew R.
