Linus Torvalds 0fe49f70a0 - Fix a hang condition that started triggering after the Xarray
conversion of fsdax in the v4.20 kernel.
 
 - Add a 'resource' (root-only physical base address) sysfs attribute to
   device-dax instances to correlate memory-blocks onlined via the kmem
   driver with a given device instance.

Pull dax updates from Dan Williams:
 "The fruits of a bug hunt in the fsdax implementation with Willy and a
  small feature update for device-dax:

   - Fix a hang condition that started triggering after the Xarray
     conversion of fsdax in the v4.20 kernel.

   - Add a 'resource' (root-only physical base address) sysfs attribute
     to device-dax instances to correlate memory-blocks onlined via the
     kmem driver with a given device instance"

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.
