3dd4fe4b4d MAINTAINERS: Move nvdimm mailing list
After seeing some users have subscription management trouble, more spam
than other Linux development lists, and considering some of the benefits
of kernel.org hosted lists, nvdimm and persistent memory development is
moving to nvdimm@lists.linux.dev.

The old list will remain up until v5.14-rc1 and shutdown thereafter.

Merge tag 'libnvdimm-for-5.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm

Pull libnvdimm updayes from Vishal Verma:
 "You'd normally receive this pull request from Dan Williams, but he's
  busy watching a newborn (Congrats Dan!), so I'm watching libnvdimm
  this cycle.

  This adds a new feature in libnvdimm - 'Runtime Firmware Activation',
  and a few small cleanups and fixes in libnvdimm and DAX. I'd
  originally intended to make separate topic-based pull requests - one
  for libnvdimm, and one for DAX, but some of the DAX material fell out
  since it wasn't quite ready.

  Summary:

   - add 'Runtime Firmware Activation' support for NVDIMMs that
     advertise the relevant capability

   - misc libnvdimm and DAX cleanups"

48001ea50d PM, libnvdimm: Add runtime firmware activation support
Abstract platform specific mechanics for nvdimm firmware activation
behind a handful of generic ops. At the bus level ->activate_state()
indicates the unified state (idle, busy, armed) of all DIMMs on the bus,
and ->capability() indicates the system state expectations for activate.
At the DIMM level ->activate_state() indicates the per-DIMM state,
->activate_result() indicates the outcome of the last activation
attempt, and ->arm() attempts to transition the DIMM from 'idle' to
'armed'.

A new hibernate_quiet_exec() facility is added to support firmware
activation in an OS defined system quiesce state. It leverages the fact
that the hibernate-freeze state wants to assert that a memory
hibernation snapshot can be taken. This is in contrast to a platform
firmware defined quiesce state that may forcefully quiet the memory
controller independent of whether an individual device-driver properly
supports hibernate-freeze.

The libnvdimm sysfs interface is extended to support detection of a
firmware activate capability. The mechanism supports enumeration and
triggering of firmware activate, optionally in the
hibernate_quiet_exec() context.

d3603f4c30 Replace HTTP links with HTTPS ones: Documentation/driver-api
Rationale:
Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM
as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate.

Deterministic algorithm:
For each file:
  If not .svg:
    For each line:
      If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`:
        For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`:
          If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions
          return 200 OK and serve the same content:
            Replace HTTP with HTTPS.
