Merge branch 'libnvdimm-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm
Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:
"Two fixes:
- a regression fix for the multiple-pmem-namespace-per-region support
added in 4.9. Even if an existing environment is not using that
feature the act of creating and a destroying a single namespace
with the ndctl utility will lead to the proliferation of extra
unwanted namespace devices.
- a fix for the error code returned from the pmem driver when the
memcpy_mcsafe() routine returns -EFAULT. Btrfs seems to be the only
block I/O consumer that tries to parse the meaning of the error
code when it is non-zero.
Neither of these fixes are critical, the namespace leak is awkward in
that it can cause device naming to change and complicates debugging
namespace initialization issues. The error code fix is included out of
caution for what other consumers might be expecting -EIO for block I/O
errors"
