Pull dax fixes from Dan Williams:
"The last of the known regression fixes and fallout from the Xarray
conversion of the filesystem-dax implementation.
On the path to debugging why the dax memory-failure injection test
started failing after the Xarray conversion a couple more fixes for
the dax_lock_mapping_entry(), now called dax_lock_page(), surfaced.
Those plus the bug that started the hunt are now addressed. These
patches have appeared in a -next release with no issues reported.
Note the touches to mm/memory-failure.c are just the conversion to the
new function signature for dax_lock_page().
Summary:
- Fix the Xarray conversion of fsdax to properly handle
dax_lock_mapping_entry() in the presense of pmd entries
- Fix inode destruction racing a new lock request"

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.
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.
