Subject: [GIT PULL] libnvdimm fixes for 4.10

Hi Linus, please pull from:

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

...to receive:

* Fix a crash that can result when SIGINT is sent to a process that is
awaiting completion of an address range scrub command. We were not
properly cleaning up the workqueue after wait_event_interruptible().

* Fix a memory hotplug failure condition that results from not
reserving enough space out of persistent memory for the memmap. By
default we align to 2M allocations that the memory hotplug code
assumes, but if the administrator specifies a non-default 4K-alignment
then we can fail to correctly size the reservation.

* A one line fix to improve the predictability of libnvdimm block
device names. A common operation is to reconfigure /dev/pmem0 into a
different mode. For example, a reconfiguration might set a new mode
that reserves some of the capacity for a struct page memmap array. It
surprises users if the device name changes to "/dev/pmem0.1" after the
mode change and then back to /dev/pmem0 after a reboot.

* Add 'const' to some function pointer tables.

None of these are showstoppers for 4.10 and could wait for 4.11 merge
window, but they are low enough risk for this late in the cycle and
the fixes have waiting users . They have received a build success
notification from the 0day robot, pass the latest ndctl unit tests,
and appeared in next-20170206.

    nvdimm: constify device_type structures

    Declare device_type structure as const as it is only stored in the
    type field of a device structure. This field is of type const, so add
    const to declaration of device_type structure.

    libnvdimm, namespace: do not delete namespace-id 0

    Given that the naming of pmem devices changes from the pmemX form to the
    pmemX.Y form when namespace id is greater than 0, arrange for namespaces
    with id-0 to be exempt from deletion. Otherwise a simple reconfiguration
    of an existing namespace to a new mode results in a name change of the
    resulting block device:

        # ndctl list --namespace=namespace1.0
        {
          "dev":"namespace1.0",
          "mode":"raw",
          "size":2147483648,
          "uuid":"3dadf3dc-89b9-4b24-b20e-abc8a4707ce3",
          "blockdev":"pmem1"
        }

        # ndctl create-namespace --reconfig=namespace1.0 --mode=memory --force
        {
          "dev":"namespace1.1",
          "mode":"memory",
          "size":2111832064,
          "uuid":"7b4a6341-7318-4219-a02c-fb57c0bbf613",
          "blockdev":"pmem1.1"
        }

    This change does require tooling changes to explicitly look for
    namespaceX.0 if the seed has already advanced to another namespace.

    acpi, nfit: fix acpi_nfit_flush_probe() crash

    We queue an on-stack work item to 'nfit_wq' and wait for it to complete
    as part of a 'flush_probe' request. However, if the user cancels the
    wait we need to make sure the item is flushed from the queue otherwise
    we are leaving an out-of-scope stack address on the work list.

    libnvdimm, pfn: fix memmap reservation size versus 4K alignment

    When vmemmap_populate() allocates space for the memmap it does so in 2MB
    sized chunks. The libnvdimm-pfn driver incorrectly accounts for this
    when the alignment of the device is set to 4K. When this happens we
    trigger memory allocation failures in altmap_alloc_block_buf() and
    trigger warnings of the form:

     WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 3376 at arch/x86/mm/init_64.c:656
arch_add_memory+0xe4/0xf0
