nvdimm/blk: Delete the block-aperture window driver

2022-03-11T23:53:12Z

Block Aperture Window support was an attempt to layer an error model over PMEM for platforms that did not support machine-check-recovery. However, it was abandoned before it ever shipped, and only ever existed in the ACPI specification. Meanwhile Linux has carried a large pile of dead code for non-shipping infrastructure. For years it has been off to the side out of the way, but now CXL and recent directions with DAX support have the potential to collide with this code. In preparation for adding discontiguous namespace support, a pre-requisite for the nvdimm subsystem to replace device-mapper for striping + concatenation use cases, delete BLK aperture support. On the obscure chance that some hardware vendor shipped support for this mode, note that the driver will still keep BLK space reserved in the label area. So an end user in this case would still have the opportunity to report the regression to get BLK-mode support restored without risking the data they have on that device.

lib: Uplevel the pmem "region" ida to a global allocator

2019-11-07T14:44:29Z

In preparation for handling platform differentiated memory types beyond persistent memory, uplevel the "region" identifier to a global number space. This enables a device-dax instance to be registered to any memory type with guaranteed unique names. Signed-off-by: Dan Williams Acked-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

libnvdimm: Enable unit test infrastructure compile checks

2019-09-07T07:28:05Z

The infrastructure to mock core libnvdimm routines for unit testing purposes is prone to bitrot relative to refactoring of that core. Arrange for the unit test core to be built when CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST=y. This does not result in a functional unit test environment, it is only a helper for 0day to catch unit test build regressions. Note that there are a few x86isms in the implementation, so this does not bother compile testing this architectures other than 64-bit x86.

docs: nvdimm: convert to ReST

2019-07-15T12:20:25Z

Rename the nvdimm documentation files to ReST, add an index for them and adjust in order to produce a nice html output via the Sphinx build system. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Acked-by: Dan Williams

acpi/nfit, libnvdimm: Add unlock of nvdimm support for Intel DIMMs

2018-12-14T01:54:13Z

Add support to unlock the dimm via the kernel key management APIs. The passphrase is expected to be pulled from userspace through keyutils. The key management and sysfs attributes are libnvdimm generic. Encrypted keys are used to protect the nvdimm passphrase at rest. The master key can be a trusted-key sealed in a TPM, preferred, or an encrypted-key, more flexible, but more exposure to a potential attacker.
