Merge tag 'libnvdimm-for-5.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm

Pull libnvdimm and DAX updates from Dan Williams:
 "New support for clearing memory errors when a file is in DAX mode,
  alongside with some other fixes and cleanups.

  Previously it was only possible to clear these errors using a truncate
  or hole-punch operation to trigger the filesystem to reallocate the
  block, now, any page aligned write can opportunistically clear errors
  as well.

  This change spans x86/mm, nvdimm, and fs/dax, and has received the
  appropriate sign-offs. Thanks to Jane for her work on this.

  Summary:

   - Add support for clearing memory error via pwrite(2) on DAX

   - Fix 'security overwrite' support in the presence of media errors

   - Miscellaneous cleanups and fixes for nfit_test (nvdimm unit tests)"

README

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.
