Hi Linus, please pull from:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm libnvdimm-fixes
...to receive 3 fixes, the first 2 are tagged for -stable.
1/ The ndctl utility/library gained expanded unit tests illuminating a long standing bug in the libnvdimm SMART data retrieval implementation. It has been broken since its initial implementation, now fixed.
2/ Another one line fix for the detection of stale info blocks. Without this change userspace can get into a situation where it is unable to reconfigure a namespace.
3/ Fix the badblock initialization path in the presence of the new (in 4,6-rc1) section alignment workarounds. Without this change badblocks will be reported at the wrong offset.
These have received a build success report from the kbuild robot and have appeared in -next with no reported issues.
The following changes since commit 9735a22799b9214d17d3c231fe377fc852f042e9:
