Both import_iovec() and rw_copy_check_uvector() take an array
(typically small and on-stack) which is used to hold an iovec array copy
from userspace. This is to avoid an expensive memory allocation in the
fast path (i.e. few iovec elements).

The caller may have to check whether these functions actually used
the provided buffer or allocated a new one -- but this differs between
the too. Let's just add a kernel doc to clarify what the semantics are
for each function.

Pull IOMMU updates from Joerg Roedel:

 - generic DT-binding support for the ARM-SMMU driver. With this the
   driver now makes use of the generic DMA-API code. This also required
   some changes outside of the IOMMU code, but these are acked by the
   respective maintainers.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "Aside from the recently added pmem sub-division support these have
  been in -next for several releases with no reported issues. The sub-
  division support was included in next-20161010 with no reported
  issues. It passes all unit tests including new tests for all the new
  functionality below.

  Summary:

   - PMEM sub-division support: Allow a single PMEM region to be divided
     into multiple namespaces. Originally, ~2 years ago, it was thought
     that partitions of a /dev/pmemX block device could handle
     sub-allocations of persistent memory for different use cases. With
     the decision to not support DAX mappings of raw block-devices, and
     the genesis of device-dax, the need for having multiple
     pmem-namespace per region has grown.

   - Device-DAX unified inode: In support of dynamic-resizing of a
     device-dax instance the kernel arranges for all mappings of a
     device-dax node to share the same inode. This allows unmap /
     truncate / invalidation events to affect all instances of the
     device similar to the behavior of mmap on block devices.

   - Hardware error scrubbing reworks: The original address-range-scrub
     and badblocks tracking solution allowed clearing entries at the
     individual namespace level, but it failed to clear the internal
     list of media errors maintained at the bus level. The result was
     that the next scrub or namespace disable/re-enable event would
     restore the cleared badblocks, but now that is fixed. The v4.8
     kernel introduced an auto-scrub-on-machine-check behavior to
     repopulate the badblocks list. Now, in v4.9, the auto-scrub
     behavior can be disabled and simply arrange for the error reported
     in the machine-check to be added to the list.

   - DIMM health-event notification support: ACPI 6.1 defines a
     notification event code that can be send to ACPI NVDIMM devices. A
     poll(2) capable file descriptor for these events can be obtained
     from the nmemX/nfit/flags sysfs-attribute of a libnvdimm memory
     device.

   - Miscellaneous fixes: NVDIMM-N probe error, device-dax build error,
     and a change to dedup the flush hint list to not flush the memory
     controller more than necessary"

 "A pile of regression fixes and updates:

     relation permanent: Handling of invalid APIC ids and preventing
     pointless warning messages.

   - force eager FPU when protection keys are enabled. Protection keys
     are not generating FPU exceptions so they cannot work with the lazy
     FPU mechanism.

   - prevent force migration of interrupts which are not part of the CPU
     vector domain.

   - handle the fact that APIC ids are not updated in the ACPI/MADT
     tables on physical CPU hotplug

   - remove bash-isms from syscall table generator script

   - use the hypervisor supplied APIC frequency when running on VMware"

looking for duplicate ->iov_base makes sense only for
iovec-backed iterators; for kvec-backed ones it's pointless,
for bvec-backed ones it's pointless and broken on 32bit (we
walk through an array of struct bio_vec accessing them as if
they were struct iovec; works by accident on 64bit, but on
32bit it'll blow up) and for pipe-backed ones it's pointless
and ends up oopsing.

by making sure we call iov_iter_advance() on original
iov_iter even if direct_IO (done on its copy) has returned 0.
It's a no-op for old iov_iter flavours and does the right thing
(== truncation of the stuff we'd allocated, but not filled) in
ITER_PIPE case.  Failures (e.g. -EIO) get caught and dealt with
by cleanup in generic_file_read_iter().

Merge my system logging cleanups, triggered by the broken '\n' patches.

The line continuation handling has been broken basically forever, and
the code to handle the system log records was both confusing and
dubious.  And it would do entirely the wrong thing unless you always had
a terminating newline, partly because it couldn't actually see whether a
message was marked KERN_CONT or not (but partly because the LOG_CONT
handling in the recording code was rather confusing too).

This re-introduces a real semantically meaningful KERN_CONT, and fixes
the few places I noticed where it was missing.  There are probably more
missing cases, since KERN_CONT hasn't actually had any semantic meaning
for at least four years (other than the checkpatch meaning of "no log
level necessary, this is a continuation line").

This also allows the combination of KERN_CONT and a log level.  In that
case the log level will be ignored if the merging with a previous line
is successful, but if a new record is needed, that new record will now
get the right log level.

That also means that you can at least in theory combine KERN_CONT with
the "pr_info()" style helpers, although any use of pr_fmt() prefixing
would make that just result in a mess, of course (the prefix would end
up in the middle of a continuing line).

* printk-cleanups:
  printk: make reading the kernel log flush pending lines
  printk: re-organize log_output() to be more legible
  printk: split out core logging code into helper function
  printk: reinstate KERN_CONT for printing continuation lines

After backporting commit ee44b4bc ("dlm: use sctp 1-to-1 API")
series to a kernel with an older workqueue which didn't use RCU yet, it
was noticed that we are freeing the workqueues in dlm_lowcomms_stop()
too early as free_conn() will try to access that memory for canceling
the queued works if any.

This issue was introduced by commit 0d737a8c as before it such
attempt to cancel the queued works wasn't performed, so the issue was
not present.

This patch fixes it by simply inverting the free order.

That will mean that any possible subsequent continuation will now be
broken up onto a line of its own (since reading the log has finalized
the beginning og the line), but if user space has activated system
logging (or if there's a kernel message dump going on) that is the right
thing to do.

And now that we actually get the continuation flags _right_ for this
all, the user space logger that is reading the kernel messages can
actually see the continuation marker.  Not that anybody seems to really
bother with it (or care), but in theory user space can do its own
message stitching.
