 libnvdimm for 4.15
 
 * Introduce MAP_SYNC and MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE, a mechanism to enable
  'userspace flush' of persistent memory updates via filesystem-dax
   mappings. It arranges for any filesystem metadata updates that may be
   required to satisfy a write fault to also be flushed ("on disk") before
   the kernel returns to userspace from the fault handler. Effectively
   every write-fault that dirties metadata completes an fsync() before
   returning from the fault handler. The new MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE mapping
   type guarantees that the MAP_SYNC flag is validated as supported by the
   filesystem's ->mmap() file operation.
 
 * Add support for the standard ACPI 6.2 label access methods that
   replace the NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL (vendor specific) label methods. This
   enables interoperability with environments that only implement the
   standardized methods.
 
 * Add support for the ACPI 6.2 NVDIMM media error injection methods.
 
 * Add support for the NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL v1.6 DIMM commands for latch
   last shutdown status, firmware update, SMART error injection, and
   SMART alarm threshold control.
 
 * Cleanup physical address information disclosures to be root-only.
 
 * Fix revalidation of the DIMM "locked label area" status to support
   dynamic unlock of the label area.
 
 * Expand unit test infrastructure to mock the ACPI 6.2 Translate SPA
   (system-physical-address) command and error injection commands.

Merge tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm

Pull libnvdimm and dax updates from Dan Williams:
 "Save for a few late fixes, all of these commits have shipped in -next
  releases since before the merge window opened, and 0day has given a
  build success notification.

  The ext4 touches came from Jan, and the xfs touches have Darrick's
  reviewed-by. An xfstest for the MAP_SYNC feature has been through
  a few round of reviews and is on track to be merged.
