Subject: [GIT PULL] libnvdimm fixes for 4.9-rc3
Hi Linus, please pull from:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm libnvdimm-fixes
...to receive:
A compilation fix, a NULL de-reference found by static analysis, a
misuse of the percpu_ref_exit() (tagged for -stable), and notification
of failed attempts to clear media errors.
These patches have received a build success notification from the 0day-
kbuild-robot and appeared in next-20161028.

libnvdimm, namespace: potential NULL deref on allocation error
If the kcalloc() fails then "devs" can be NULL and we dereference it
checking "devs[i]".

pmem: report error on clear poison failure
ACPI Clear Uncorrectable Error DSM function may fail or may be
unsupported on a platform. pmem_clear_poison() returns without clearing
badblocks in such cases. This failure is detected at the next read
(-EIO).
This behavior can lead to an issue when user keeps writing but does not
read immediately. For instance, flight recorder file may be only read
when it is necessary for troubleshooting.
Change pmem_do_bvec() and pmem_clear_poison() to return -EIO so that
filesystem can log an error message on a write error.

nvdimm: make CONFIG_NVDIMM_DAX 'bool'
A bugfix just tried to address a randconfig build problem and introduced
a variant of the same problem: with CONFIG_LIBNVDIMM=y and
CONFIG_NVDIMM_DAX=m, the nvdimm module now fails to link:
drivers/nvdimm/built-in.o: In function `to_nd_device_type':
bus.c:(.text+0x1b5d): undefined reference to `is_nd_dax'
drivers/nvdimm/built-in.o: In function `nd_region_notify_driver_action.constprop.2':
region_devs.c:(.text+0x6b6c): undefined reference to `is_nd_dax'
region_devs.c:(.text+0x6b8c): undefined reference to `to_nd_dax'
drivers/nvdimm/built-in.o: In function `nd_region_probe':
region.c:(.text+0x70f3): undefined reference to `nd_dax_create'
drivers/nvdimm/built-in.o: In function `mode_show':
namespace_devs.c:(.text+0xa196): undefined reference to `is_nd_dax'
drivers/nvdimm/built-in.o: In function `nvdimm_namespace_common_probe':

drivers/nvdimm/built-in.o: In function `nvdimm_namespace_common_probe':
(.text+0xa56e): undefined reference to `to_nd_dax'
This reverts the earlier fix, making NVDIMM_DAX a 'bool' option again
as it should be (it gets linked into the libnvdimm module). To fix
the original problem, I'm adding a dependency on LIBNVDIMM to
DEV_DAX_PMEM, which ensures we can't have that one built-in if the
rest is a module.

device-dax: fix percpu_ref_exit ordering
We need to wait until the percpu_ref is released before exit. Otherwise,
we sometimes lose the race and trigger this new warning that was added
in v4.9 (commit a67823c1ed10 "percpu-refcount: init ->confirm_switch
member properly"):
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 3629 at lib/percpu-refcount.c:107 percpu_ref_exit+0x51/0x60
