Linus Torvalds 4596f55476 * fix one ensures that a variable passed in by reference to
acpi_nfit_ctl is always set to a value. An incremental patch is provided
 due to notice from testing in -next. The rest of the commits did not
 exhibit issues.
 
 * fix two fixes a return path in nsio_rw_bytes() that was not
 returning "bytes remain" as expected for the function.
 
 * fix three addresses an issue where applications polling on
 scrub-completion for the NVDIMM may falsely wakeup and read the wrong
 state value and cause hang.
 
 * the test unit changed the persistent capability attribute to fix up a broken
 assumption in the unit test infrastructure wrt the 'write_cache' attribute
 
 * An output ratelimit to dev_info is introduced to the dax device
 check_vma() function since this is easily triggered from userspace.

Merge tag 'libnvdimm-fixes-4.18-rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm

Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dave Jiang:

 - ensure that a variable passed in by reference to acpi_nfit_ctl is
   always set to a value. An incremental patch is provided due to notice
   from testing in -next. The rest of the commits did not exhibit
   issues.

 - fix a return path in nsio_rw_bytes() that was not returning "bytes
   remain" as expected for the function.

 - address an issue where applications polling on scrub-completion for
   the NVDIMM may falsely wakeup and read the wrong state value and
   cause hang.

 - change the test unit persistent capability attribute to fix up a
   broken assumption in the unit test infrastructure wrt the
   'write_cache' attribute

 - ratelimit dev_info() in the dax device check_vma() function since
   this is easily triggered from userspace

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
