Subject: [GIT PULL] dax-misc for 4.7

Hi Linus, please pull from:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm tags/dax-misc-for-4.7

...to receive the dax error handling topic branch for 4.7.

Most of these changes have been stable since before the merge window, but getting
the different trees/patchsets integrated into this topic branch took a couple more
days. These have also been in linux-next for almost a week, and have received a
positive 0day notification for a successful build for 118 configs.

Note that this branch depends on Ted's ext4 dev branch, and should be merged after
that. The pull request is based on this branch so that the shortlog and diffstat
look correct.

The merge with libnvdimm-for-next will cause a conflict, and I have a branch
with the expected resolution at:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm libnvdimm-for-4.7-merge

Notably, the automatic merge ends up with two copies of a function in fs/block_dev.c
blkdev_dax_capable(), and bdev_dax_capable(), where blkdev_dax_capable is unused, and
should be removed [1].

  dax: fix a comment in dax_zero_page_range and dax_truncate_page (2016-05-18 12:16:58 -0600)

----------------------------------------------------------------
DAX error handling for 4.7

- Until now, dax has been disabled if media errors were found on
  any device. This enables the use of DAX in the presence of these
  errors by making all sector-aligned zeroing go through the driver.
- The driver (already) has the ability to clear errors on writes that
  are sent through the block layer using 'DSMs' defined in ACPI 6.1.

Other misc changes:

- When mounting DAX filesystems, check to make sure the partition
  is page aligned. This is a requirement for DAX, and previously, we
  allowed such unaligned mounts to succeed, but subsequent reads/writes
  would fail.

- Misc/cleanup fixes from Jan that remove unused code from DAX related to
  zeroing, writeback, and some size checks.
