2018-06-06libnvdimm, pmem: Unconditionally deep flush on *syncRoss Zwisler1-4/+3
Prior to this commit we would only do a "deep flush" (have nvdimm_flush() write to each of the flush hints for a region) in response to an msync/fsync/sync call if the nvdimm_has_cache() returned true at the time we were setting up the request queue. This happens due to the write cache value passed in to blk_queue_write_cache(), which then causes the block layer to send down BIOs with REQ_FUA and REQ_PREFLUSH set. We do have a "write_cache" sysfs entry for namespaces, i.e.: /sys/bus/nd/devices/pfn0.1/block/pmem0/dax/write_cache which can be used to control whether or not the kernel thinks a given namespace has a write cache, but this didn't modify the deep flush behavior that we set up when the driver was initialized. Instead, it only modified whether or not DAX would flush CPU caches via dax_flush() in response to *sync calls. Simplify this by making the *sync deep flush always happen, regardless of the write cache setting of a namespace. The DAX CPU cache flushing will still be controlled the write_cache setting of the namespace.

Similar to the ->copy_from_iter() operation, a platform may want to deploy an architecture or device specific routine for handling reads from a dax_device like /dev/pmemX. On x86 this routine will point to a machine check safe version of copy_to_iter(). For now, add the plumbing to device-mapper and the dax core.

2018-05-22mm: introduce MEMORY_DEVICE_FS_DAX and CONFIG_DEV_PAGEMAP_OPSDan Williams1-0/+25
In preparation for fixing dax-dma-vs-unmap issues, filesystems need to be able to rely on the fact that they will get wakeups on dev_pagemap page-idle events. Introduce MEMORY_DEVICE_FS_DAX and generic_dax_page_free() as common indicator / infrastructure for dax filesytems to require. With this change there are no users of the MEMORY_DEVICE_HOST designation, so remove it. The HMM sub-system extended dev_pagemap to arrange a callback when a dev_pagemap managed page is freed. Since a dev_pagemap page is free / idle when its reference count is 1 it requires an additional branch to check the page-type at put_page() time. Given put_page() is a hot-path we do not want to incur that check if HMM is not in use, so a static branch is used to avoid that overhead when not necessary. Now, the FS_DAX implementation wants to reuse this mechanism for receiving dev_pagemap ->page_free() callbacks. Rework the HMM-specific static-key into a generic mechanism that either HMM or FS_DAX code paths can enable. For ARCH=um builds, and any other arch that lacks ZONE_DEVICE support, care must be taken to compile out the DEV_PAGEMAP_OPS infrastructure. However, we still need to support FS_DAX in the FS_DAX_LIMITED case implemented by the s390/dcssblk driver.

2018-05-15x86/asm/memcpy_mcsafe: Return bytes remainingDan Williams1-3/+3
Machine check safe memory copies are currently deployed in the pmem driver whenever reading from persistent memory media, so that -EIO is returned rather than triggering a kernel panic. While this protects most pmem accesses, it is not complete in the filesystem-dax case. When filesystem-dax is enabled reads may bypass the block layer and the driver via dax_iomap_actor() and its usage of copy_to_iter(). In preparation for creating a copy_to_iter() variant that can handle machine checks, teach memcpy_mcsafe() to return the number of bytes remaining rather than -EFAULT when an exception occurs.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams: "This cycle was was not something I ever want to repeat as there were several late changes that have only now just settled. Half of the branch up to commit d2c997c0f145 ("fs, dax: use page->mapping to warn...") have been in -next for several releases. The of_pmem driver and the address range scrub rework were late arrivals, and the dax work was scaled back at the last moment. The of_pmem driver missed a previous merge window due to an oversight. A sense of obligation to rectify that miss is why it is included for 4.17. It has acks from PowerPC folks. Stephen reported a build failure that only occurs when merging it with your latest tree, for now I have fixed that up by disabling modular builds of of_pmem. A test merge with your tree has received a build success report from the 0day robot over 156 configs. An initial version of the ARS rework was submitted before the merge window. It is self contained to libnvdimm, a net code reduction, and passing all unit tests. The filesystem-dax changes are based on the wait_var_event() functionality from tip/sched/core. However, late review feedback showed that those changes regressed truncate performance to a large degree. The branch was rewound to drop the truncate behavior change and now only includes preparation patches and cleanups (with full acks and reviews). The finalization of this dax-dma-vs-trnucate work will need to wait for 4.18. Summary: - A rework of the filesytem-dax implementation provides for detection of unmap operations (truncate / hole punch) colliding with in-progress device-DMA. A fix for these collisions remains a work-in-progress pending resolution of truncate latency and starvation regressions. - The of_pmem driver expands the users of libnvdimm outside of x86 and ACPI to describe an implementation of persistent memory on PowerPC with Open Firmware / Device tree. - Address Range Scrub (ARS) handling is completely rewritten to account for the fact that ARS may run for 100s of seconds and there is no platform defined way to cancel it.

2018-03-02libnvdimm: re-enable deep flush for pmem devices via fsync()Dave Jiang1-2/+1
Re-enable deep flush so that users always have a way to be sure that a write makes it all the way out to media. Writes from the PMEM driver always arrive at the NVDIMM since movnt is used to bypass the cache, and the driver relies on the ADR (Asynchronous DRAM Refresh) mechanism to flush write buffers on power failure. The Deep Flush mechanism is there to explicitly write buffers to protect against (rare) ADR failure. This change prevents a regression in deep flush behavior so that applications can continue to depend on fsync() as a mechanism to trigger deep flush in the filesystem-DAX case.

This new interface is similar to how struct device (and many others) work. The caller initializes a 'struct dev_pagemap' as required and calls 'devm_memremap_pages'. This allows the pagemap structure to be embedded in another structure and thus container_of can be used. In this way application specific members can be stored in a containing struct. This will be used by the P2P infrastructure and HMM could probably be cleaned up to use it as well (instead of having it's own, similar 'hmm_devmem_pages_create' function).

2017-09-11dax: remove the pmem_dax_ops->flush abstractionMikulas Patocka1-7/+0
Commit abebfbe2f731 ("dm: add ->flush() dax operation support") is buggy. A DM device may be composed of multiple underlying devices and all of them need to be flushed. That commit just routes the flush request to the first device and ignores the other devices. It could be fixed by adding more complex logic to the device mapper. But there is only one implementation of the method pmem_dax_ops->flush - that is pmem_dax_flush() - and it calls arch_wb_cache_pmem(). Consequently, we don't need the pmem_dax_ops->flush abstraction at all, we can call arch_wb_cache_pmem() directly from dax_flush() because dax_dev->ops->flush can't ever reach anything different from arch_wb_cache_pmem(). It should be also pointed out that for some uses of persistent memory it is needed to flush only a very small amount of data (such as 1 cacheline), and it would be overkill if we go through that device mapper machinery for a single flushed cache line. Fix this by removing the pmem_dax_ops->flush abstraction and call arch_wb_cache_pmem() directly from dax_flush(). Also, remove the device mapper code that forwards the flushes.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams: "libnvdimm updates for the latest ACPI and UEFI specifications. This pull request also includes new 'struct dax_operations' enabling to undo the abuse of copy_user_nocache() for copy operations to pmem. The dax work originally missed 4.12 to address concerns raised by Al. Summary: - Introduce the _flushcache() family of memory copy helpers and use them for persistent memory write operations on x86. The _flushcache() semantic indicates that the cache is either bypassed for the copy operation (movnt) or any lines dirtied by the copy operation are written back (clwb, clflushopt, or clflush). - Extend dax_operations with ->copy_from_iter() and ->flush() operations. These operations and other infrastructure updates allow all persistent memory specific dax functionality to be pushed into libnvdimm and the pmem driver directly. It also allows dax-specific sysfs attributes to be linked to a host device, for example: /sys/block/pmem0/dax/write_cache - Add support for the new NVDIMM platform/firmware mechanisms introduced in ACPI 6.2 and UEFI 2.7. This support includes the v1.2 namespace label format, extensions to the address-range-scrub command set, new error injection commands, and a new BTT (block-translation-table) layout.

2017-06-29libnvdimm, pmem, dax: export a cache control attributeDan Williams1-0/+10
The dax_flush() operation can be turned into a nop on platforms where firmware arranges for cpu caches to be flushed on a power-fail event. The ACPI 6.2 specification defines a mechanism for the platform to indicate this capability so the kernel can select the proper default. However, for other platforms, the administrator must toggle this setting manually. Given this flush setting is a dax-specific mechanism we advertise it through a 'dax' attribute group hanging off a host device. For example, a 'pmem0' block-device gets a 'dax' sysfs-subdirectory with a 'write_cache' attribute to control response to dax cache flush requests. This is similar to the 'queue/write_cache' attribute that appears under block devices.

With all handling of the CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PMEM_API case being moved to libnvdimm and the pmem driver directly we do not need to provide global wrappers and fallbacks in the CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PMEM_API=n case. The pmem driver will simply not link to arch_wb_cache_pmem() in that case. Same as before, pmem flushing is only defined for x86_64, via clean_cache_range(), but it is straightforward to add other archs in the future. arch_wb_cache_pmem() is an exported function since the pmem module needs to find it, but it is privately declared in drivers/nvdimm/pmem.h because there are no consumers outside of the pmem driver.

2017-06-15dax, pmem: introduce an optional 'flush' dax_operationDan Williams1-0/+7
Filesystem-DAX flushes caches whenever it writes to the address returned through dax_direct_access() and when writing back dirty radix entries. That flushing is only required in the pmem case, so add a dax operation to allow pmem to take this extra action, but skip it for other dax capable devices that do not provide a flush routine. An example for this differentiation might be a volatile ram disk where there is no expectation of persistence. In fact the pmem driver itself might front such an address range specified by the NFIT. So, this "no flush" property might be something passed down by the bus / libnvdimm.

2017-06-09x86, uaccess: introduce copy_from_iter_flushcache for pmem / cache-bypass operationsDan Williams1-2/+11
The pmem driver has a need to transfer data with a persistent memory destination and be able to rely on the fact that the destination writes are not cached. It is sufficient for the writes to be flushed to a cpu-store-buffer (non-temporal / "movnt" in x86 terms), as we expect userspace to call fsync() to ensure data-writes have reached a power-fail-safe zone in the platform. The fsync() triggers a REQ_FUA or REQ_FLUSH to the pmem driver which will turn around and fence previous writes with an "sfence". Implement a __copy_from_user_inatomic_flushcache, memcpy_page_flushcache, and memcpy_flushcache, that guarantee that the destination buffer is not dirty in the cpu cache on completion. The new copy_from_iter_flushcache and sub-routines will be used to replace the "pmem api" (include/linux/pmem.h + arch/x86/include/asm/pmem.h). The availability of copy_from_iter_flushcache() and memcpy_flushcache() are gated by the CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_UACCESS_FLUSHCACHE config symbol, and fallback to copy_from_iter_nocache() and plain memcpy() otherwise. This is meant to satisfy the concern from Linus that if a driver wants to do something beyond the normal nocache semantics it should be something private to that driver [1], and Al's concern that anything uaccess related belongs with the rest of the uaccess code [2]. The first consumer of this interface is a new 'copy_from_iter' dax operation so that pmem can inject cache maintenance operations without imposing this overhead on other dax-capable drivers.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams: "The bulk of this has been in multiple -next releases. There were a few late breaking fixes and small features that got added in the last couple days, but the whole set has received a build success notification from the kbuild robot. Change summary: - Region media error reporting: A libnvdimm region device is the parent to one or more namespaces. To date, media errors have been reported via the "badblocks" attribute attached to pmem block devices for namespaces in "raw" or "memory" mode. Given that namespaces can be in "device-dax" or "btt-sector" mode this new interface reports media errors generically, i.e. independent of namespace modes or state. This subsequently allows userspace tooling to craft "ACPI 6.1 Section 9.20.7.6 Function Index 4 - Clear Uncorrectable Error" requests and submit them via the ioctl path for NVDIMM root bus devices. - Introduce 'struct dax_device' and 'struct dax_operations': Prompted by a request from Linus and feedback from Christoph this allows for dax capable drivers to publish their own custom dax operations. This fixes the broken assumption that all dax operations are related to a persistent memory device, and makes it easier for other architectures and platforms to add customized persistent memory support. - 'libnvdimm' core updates: A new "deep_flush" sysfs attribute is available for storage appliance applications to manually trigger memory controllers to drain write-pending buffers that would otherwise be flushed automatically by the platform ADR (asynchronous-DRAM-refresh) mechanism at a power loss event. Support for "locked" DIMMs is included to prevent namespaces from surfacing when the namespace label data area is locked. Finally, fixes for various reported deadlocks and crashes, also tagged for -stable. - ACPI / nfit driver updates: General updates of the nfit driver to add DSM command overrides, ACPI 6.1 health state flags support, DSM payload debug available by default, and various fixes.

2017-05-01mm, zone_device: Replace {get, put}_zone_device_page() with a single reference to fix pmem crashDan Williams1-2/+11
The x86 conversion to the generic GUP code included a small change which causes crashes and data corruption in the pmem code - not good. The root cause is that the /dev/pmem driver code implicitly relies on the x86 get_user_pages() implementation doing a get_page() on the page refcount, because get_page() does a get_zone_device_page() which properly refcounts pmem's separate page struct arrays that are not present in the regular page struct structures. (The pmem driver does this because it can cover huge memory areas.) But the x86 conversion to the generic GUP code changed the get_page() to page_cache_get_speculative() which is faster but doesn't do the get_zone_device_page() call the pmem code relies on. One way to solve the regression would be to change the generic GUP code to use get_page(), but that would slow things down a bit and punish other generic-GUP using architectures for an x86-ism they did not care about. (Arguably the pmem driver was probably not working reliably for them: but nvdimm is an Intel feature, so non-x86 exposure is probably still limited.) So restructure the pmem code's interface with the MM instead: get rid of the get/put_zone_device_page() distinction, integrate put_zone_device_page() into __put_page() and and restructure the pmem completion-wait and teardown machinery: Kirill points out that the calls to {get,put}_dev_pagemap() can be removed from the mm fast path if we take a single get_dev_pagemap() reference to signify that the page is alive and use the final put of the page to drop that reference. This does require some care to make sure that any waits for the percpu_ref to drop to zero occur *after* devm_memremap_page_release(), since it now maintains its own elevated reference. This speeds up things while also making the pmem refcounting more robust going forward.

memcpy_from_pmem() maps directly to memcpy_mcsafe(). The wrapper serves no real benefit aside from affording a more generic function name than the x86-specific 'mcsafe'. However this would not be the first time that x86 terminology leaked into the global namespace. For lack of better name, just use memcpy_mcsafe() directly. This conversion also catches a place where we should have been using plain memcpy, acpi_nfit_blk_single_io().
