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.

dax: Kill DEV_DAX_PMEM_COMPAT

2021-11-25T03:21:35Z

The /sys/class/dax compatibility option has shipped in the kernel for 4 years now which should be sufficient time for tools to abandon the old ABI in favor of the /sys/bus/dax device-model. Delete it now and see if anyone screams. Since this compatibility option shipped there has been more reports of users being surprised by the compat ABI than surprised by the "new", so the compat infrastructure has outlived its usefulness. Recall that /sys/bus/dax device-model is required for the dax kmem driver which allows PMEM to be used as "System RAM". The following projects were known to have a dependency on /sys/class/dax and have dropped their dependency as of the listed version: - ndctl (including libndctl, daxctl, and libdaxctl): v64+ - fio: v3.13+ - pmdk: v1.5.2+ As further evidence this option is no longer needed some distributions have already stopped enabling CONFIG_DEV_DAX_PMEM_COMPAT.

tools/test/nvdimm: Fix out of tree build

remove ioremap_nocache and devm_ioremap_nocache

ioremap has provided non-cached semantics by default since the Linux 2.6 days, so remove the additional ioremap_nocache interface. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann

tools/testing/nvdimm: Fix mock support for ioremap

2019-12-12T01:11:10Z

After commit d092a8707326 "arch: rely on asm-generic/io.h for default ioremap_* definitions" the ioremap_nocache() symbol has been replaced with ioremap(). Update the mocked symbol list for nvdimm testing.

tools/testing/nvdimm: add watermarks for dax_pmem* modules

2019-04-22T22:56:28Z

Add nfit_test 'watermarks' for the dax_pmem, dax_pmem_core, and dax_pmem_compat modules. This causes the nfit_test module to fail loading in case any of these modules are also not overridden with the ldconfig wrapped modules. Without this, nfit_test would sometimes fail creation of device-dax namespaces on the nfit_test_bus with an unhelpful error log such as: dax_pmem dax5.0: could not reserve metadata dax_pmem: probe of dax5.0 failed with error -16 Which was caused due to the unwrapped version of devm_request_mem_region() being called.

device-dax: Add /sys/class/dax backwards compatibility

2019-01-07T05:41:57Z

On the expectation that some environments may not upgrade libdaxctl (userspace component that depends on the /sys/class/dax hierarchy), provide a default / legacy dax_pmem_compat driver. The dax_pmem_compat driver implements the original /sys/class/dax sysfs layout rather than /sys/bus/dax. When userspace is upgraded it can blacklist this module and switch to the dax_pmem driver going forward. CONFIG_DEV_DAX_PMEM_COMPAT and supporting code will be deleted according to the dax_pmem entry in Documentation/ABI/obsolete/. Signed-off-by: Dan Williams

device-dax: Start defining a dax bus model

2019-01-07T05:24:46Z

Towards eliminating the dax_class, move the dax-device-attribute enabling to a new bus.c file in the core. The amount of code thrash of sub-sequent patches is reduced as no logic changes are made, just pure code movement. A temporary export of unregister_dex_dax() and dax_attribute_groups is needed to preserve compilation, but those symbols become static again in a follow-on patch. Signed-off-by: Dan Williams

tools/testing/nvdimm: Add test support for Intel nvdimm security DSMs

2018-12-21T20:44:41Z

Add nfit_test support for DSM functions "Get Security State", "Set Passphrase", "Disable Passphrase", "Unlock Unit", "Freeze Lock", and "Secure Erase" for the fake DIMMs. Also adding a sysfs knob in order to put the DIMMs in "locked" state. The order of testing DIMM unlocking would be. 1a. Disable DIMM X. 1b. Set Passphrase to DIMM X. 2. Write to /sys/devices/platform/nfit_test.0/nfit_test_dimm/test_dimmX/lock_dimm 3. Renable DIMM X 4. Check DIMM X state via sysfs "security" attribute for nmemX. Signed-off-by: Dave Jiang Signed-off-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.
