Hi Linus, please pull from:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm libnvdimm-fixes
...to receive:
* Fix a crash that occurs at driver initialization if the memory region is already busy (request_mem_region() fails).
* Fix a vma validation check that mistakenly allows a private device- dax mapping to be established. Device-dax explicitly forbids private mappings so it can guarantee a given fault granularity and backing memory type.
Both of these fixes have soaked in -next and are tagged for -stable.
