Merge tag 'libnvdimm-for-5.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm
Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams: "Primarily just the virtio_pmem driver: - virtio_pmem The new virtio_pmem facility introduces a paravirtualized persistent memory device that allows a guest VM to use DAX mechanisms to access a host-file with host-page-cache. It arranges for MAP_SYNC to be disabled and instead triggers a host fsync() when a 'write-cache flush' command is sent to the virtual disk device. - Miscellaneous small fixups" * tag 'libnvdimm-for-5.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: virtio_pmem: fix sparse warning xfs: disable map_sync for async flush ext4: disable map_sync for async flush dax: check synchronous mapping is supported dm: enable synchronous dax libnvdimm: add dax_dev sync flag virtio-pmem: Add virtio pmem driver libnvdimm: nd_region flush callback support libnvdimm, namespace: Drop uuid_t implementation detail
