2020-10-13mm/memremap_pages: convert to 'struct range'Dan Williams1-9/+12
The 'struct resource' in 'struct dev_pagemap' is only used for holding resource span information. The other fields, 'name', 'flags', 'desc', 'parent', 'sibling', and 'child' are all unused wasted space. This is in preparation for introducing a multi-range extension of devm_memremap_pages(). The bulk of this change is unwinding all the places internal to libnvdimm that used 'struct resource' unnecessarily, and replacing instances of 'struct dev_pagemap'.res with 'struct dev_pagemap'.range. P2PDMA had a minor usage of the resource flags field, but only to report failures with "%pR". That is replaced with an open coded print of the range.

2019-07-18driver-core, libnvdimm: Let device subsystems add local lockdep coverageDan Williams1-1/+1
For good reason, the standard device_lock() is marked lockdep_set_novalidate_class() because there is simply no sane way to describe the myriad ways the device_lock() ordered with other locks. However, that leaves subsystems that know their own local device_lock() ordering rules to find lock ordering mistakes manually. Instead, introduce an optional / additional lockdep-enabled lock that a subsystem can acquire in all the same paths that the device_lock() is acquired. A conversion of the NFIT driver and NVDIMM subsystem to a lockdep-validate device_lock() scheme is included. The debug_nvdimm_lock() implementation implements the correct lock-class and stacking order for the libnvdimm device topology hierarchy. Yes, this is a hack, but hopefully it is a useful hack for other subsystems device_lock() debug sessions. Quoting Greg: "Yeah, it feels a bit hacky but it's really up to a subsystem to mess up using it as much as anything else, so user beware :) I don't object to it if it makes things easier for you to debug."

We need to hold a reference on the 'dirent' until we are sure there are no more notifications that will be sent. As noted in the new comments we take advantage of the fact that the references are taken and dropped under device_lock() and that nd_device_notify() holds device_lock() over new badblocks notifications. The notifications that happen when badblocks are cleared only occur while the device is active. Also take the opportunity to fix up the error messages to report the user visible effect of a sysfs_get_dirent() failure.

2017-04-29libnvdimm: rework region badblocks clearingDan Williams1-25/+0
Toshi noticed that the new support for a region-level badblocks missed the case where errors are cleared due to BTT I/O. An initial attempt to fix this ran into a "sleeping while atomic" warning due to taking the nvdimm_bus_lock() in the BTT I/O path to satisfy the locking requirements of __nvdimm_bus_badblocks_clear(). However, that lock is not needed since we are not acting on any data that is subject to change under that lock. The badblocks instance has its own internal lock to handle mutations of the error list. So, in order to make it clear that we are just acting on region devices, rename __nvdimm_bus_badblocks_clear() to nvdimm_clear_badblocks_regions(). Eliminate the lock and consolidate all support routines for the new nvdimm_account_cleared_poison() in drivers/nvdimm/bus.c. Finally, to the opportunity to cleanup to some unnecessary casts, make the calling convention of nvdimm_clear_badblocks_regions() clearer by replacing struct resource with the minimal struct clear_badblocks_context, and use the DEVICE_ATTR macro.

Implement the base infrastructure for libnvdimm PFN devices. Similar to BTT devices they take a namespace as a backing device and layer functionality on top. In this case the functionality is reserving space for an array of 'struct page' entries to be handed out through pfn_to_page(). For now this is just the basic libnvdimm-device-model for configuring the base PFN device. As the namespace claiming mechanism for PFN devices is mostly identical to BTT devices drivers/nvdimm/claim.c is created to house the common bits.

2015-06-26libnvdimm, nfit, nd_blk: driver for BLK-mode access persistent memoryRoss Zwisler1-2/+6
The libnvdimm implementation handles allocating dimm address space (DPA) between PMEM and BLK mode interfaces. After DPA has been allocated from a BLK-region to a BLK-namespace the nd_blk driver attaches to handle I/O as a struct bio based block device. Unlike PMEM, BLK is required to handle platform specific details like mmio register formats and memory controller interleave. For this reason the libnvdimm generic nd_blk driver calls back into the bus provider to carry out the I/O. This initial implementation handles the BLK interface defined by the ACPI 6 NFIT [1] and the NVDIMM DSM Interface Example [2] composed from DCR (dimm control region), BDW (block data window), IDT (interleave descriptor) NFIT structures and the hardware register format.

2015-06-26nd_btt: atomic sector updatesVishal Verma1-0/+12
BTT stands for Block Translation Table, and is a way to provide power fail sector atomicity semantics for block devices that have the ability to perform byte granularity IO. It relies on the capability of libnvdimm namespace devices to do byte aligned IO. The BTT works as a stacked blocked device, and reserves a chunk of space from the backing device for its accounting metadata. It is a bio-based driver because all IO is done synchronously, and there is no queuing or asynchronous completions at either the device or the driver level. The BTT uses 'lanes' to index into various 'on-disk' data structures, and lanes also act as a synchronization mechanism in case there are more CPUs than available lanes. We did a comparison between two lane lock strategies - first where we kept an atomic counter around that tracked which was the last lane that was used, and 'our' lane was determined by atomically incrementing that. That way, for the nr_cpus > nr_lanes case, theoretically, no CPU would be blocked waiting for a lane. The other strategy was to use the cpu number we're scheduled on to and hash it to a lane number. Theoretically, this could block an IO that could've otherwise run using a different, free lane. But some fio workloads showed that the direct cpu -> lane hash performed faster than tracking 'last lane' - my reasoning is the cache thrash caused by moving the atomic variable made that approach slower than simply waiting out the in-progress IO. This supports the conclusion that the driver can be a very simple bio-based one that does synchronous IOs instead of queuing.

2015-06-25libnvdimm: infrastructure for btt devicesDan Williams1-3/+5
NVDIMM namespaces, in addition to accepting "struct bio" based requests, also have the capability to perform byte-aligned accesses. By default only the bio/block interface is used. However, if another driver can make effective use of the byte-aligned capability it can claim namespace interface and use the byte-aligned ->rw_bytes() interface. The BTT driver is the initial first consumer of this mechanism to allow adding atomic sector update semantics to a pmem or blk namespace. This patch is the sysfs infrastructure to allow configuring a BTT instance for a namespace. Enabling that BTT and performing i/o is in a subsequent patch.

BLK-namespaces that alias with a PMEM interleave set will grow allocations backward from the highest DPA.

2015-06-24libnvdimm: support for legacy (non-aliasing) nvdimmsDan Williams1-0/+93
The libnvdimm region driver is an intermediary driver that translates non-volatile "region"s into "namespace" sub-devices that are surfaced by persistent memory block-device drivers (PMEM and BLK). ACPI 6 introduces the concept that a given nvdimm may simultaneously offer multiple access modes to its media through direct PMEM load/store access, or windowed BLK mode. Existing nvdimms mostly implement a PMEM interface, some offer a BLK-like mode, but never both as ACPI 6 defines. If an nvdimm is single interfaced, then there is no need for dimm metadata labels. For these devices we can take the region boundaries directly to create a child namespace device (nd_namespace_io).
