[merged] io-mapping-indicate-mapping-failure.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm]

The patch titled
     Subject: io-mapping: indicate mapping failure
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     io-mapping-indicate-mapping-failure.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

Subject: io-mapping: indicate mapping failure

The !ATOMIC_IOMAP version of io_maping_init_wc will always return success,
even when the ioremap fails.

Since the ATOMIC_IOMAP version returns NULL when the init fails, and
callers check for a NULL return on error this is unexpected.

During a device probe, where the ioremap failed, a crash can look
like this:

BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: 0000000000210000
 #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode
 #PF: error_code(0x0002) - not-present page
 Oops: 0002 [#1] PREEMPT SMP
 CPU: 0 PID: 177 Comm:
 RIP: 0010:fill_page_dma [i915]
  gen8_ppgtt_create [i915]
  i915_ppgtt_create [i915]
  intel_gt_init [i915]
  i915_gem_init [i915]
  i915_driver_probe [i915]
  pci_device_probe
  really_probe
  driver_probe_device

The remap failure occurred much earlier in the probe.  If it had
been propagated, the driver would have exited with an error.

Return NULL on ioremap failure.
