2018-03-06libnvdimm: remove redundant __func__ in dev_dbgDan Williams10-93/+77
Dynamic debug can be instructed to add the function name to the debug output using the +f switch, so there is no need for the libnvdimm modules to do it again. If a user decides to add the +f switch for libnvdimm's dynamic debug this results in double prints of the function name.

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.

2018-01-19libnvdimm, btt: fix uninitialized err_lockJeff Moyer1-1/+1
When a sector mode namespace is initially created, the arena's err_lock is not initialized. If, on the other hand, the namespace already exists, the mutex is initialized. To fix the issue, I moved the mutex initialization into the arena_alloc, which is called by both discover_arenas and create_arenas. This was discovered on an older kernel where mutex_trylock checks the count to determine whether the lock is held. Because the data structure is kzalloc-d, that count was 0 (held), and I/O to the device would hang forever waiting for the lock to be released (see btt_write_pg, for example). Current kernels have a different mutex implementation that checks for a non-null owner, and so this doesn't show up as a problem. If that lock were ever contended, it might cause issues, but you'd have to be really unlucky, I think.

2018-01-08memremap: change devm_memremap_pages interface to use struct dev_pagemapChristoph Hellwig4-34/+40
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).

Deprecate the use of the ND_IOCTL_SMART_THRESHOLD command in favor of the ND_CMD_CALL approach taken by NVDIMM_FAMILY_{HPE,MSFT}, where we can manage the per-vendor variance in userspace. In a couple years, when the new scheme is widely deployed in userspace packages, the ND_IOCTL_SMART_THRESHOLD support can be removed. For now we prevent new binaries from compiling against the kernel header definitions, but kernel still compatible with old binaries.

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman2-0/+2
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

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.

2017-09-04libnvdimm, nfit: move the check on nd_reserved2 to the endpointMeng Xu1-4/+0
Delay the check of nd_reserved2 to the actual endpoint (acpi_nfit_ctl) that uses it, as a prevention of a potential double-fetch bug. While examining the kernel source code, I found a dangerous operation that could turn into a double-fetch situation (a race condition bug) where the same userspace memory region are fetched twice into kernel with sanity checks after the first fetch while missing checks after the second fetch. In the case of _IOC_NR(ioctl_cmd) == ND_CMD_CALL: 1. The first fetch happens in line 935 copy_from_user(&pkg, p, sizeof(pkg) 2. subsequently `pkg.nd_reserved2` is asserted to be all zeroes (line 984 to 986). 3. The second fetch happens in line 1022 copy_from_user(buf, p, buf_len) 4. Given that `p` can be fully controlled in userspace, an attacker can race condition to override the header part of `p`, say, `((struct nd_cmd_pkg *)p)->nd_reserved2` to arbitrary value (say nine 0xFFFFFFFF for `nd_reserved2`) after the first fetch but before the second fetch. The changed value will be copied to `buf`. 5. There is no checks on the second fetches until the use of it in line 1034: nd_cmd_clear_to_send(nvdimm_bus, nvdimm, cmd, buf) and line 1038: nd_desc->ndctl(nd_desc, nvdimm, cmd, buf, buf_len, &cmd_rc) which means that the assumed relation, `p->nd_reserved2` are all zeroes might not hold after the second fetch. And once the control goes to these functions we lose the context to assert the assumed relation. 6. Based on my manual analysis, `p->nd_reserved2` is not used in function `nd_cmd_clear_to_send` and potential implementations of `nd_desc->ndctl` so there is no working exploit against it right now. However, this could easily turns to an exploitable one if careless developers start to use `p->nd_reserved2` later and assume that they are all zeroes. Move the validation of the nd_reserved2 field to the ->ndctl() implementation where it has a stable buffer to evaluate.

2017-08-31libnvdimm: fix integer overflow static analysis warningDan Williams1-8/+9
Dan reports: The patch 62232e45f4a2: "libnvdimm: control (ioctl) messages for nvdimm_bus and nvdimm devices" from Jun 8, 2015, leads to the following static checker warning: drivers/nvdimm/bus.c:1018 __nd_ioctl() warn: integer overflows 'buf_len' From a casual review, this seems like it might be a real bug. On the first iteration we load some data into in_env[]. On the second iteration we read a use controlled "in_size" from nd_cmd_in_size(). It can go up to UINT_MAX - 1. A high number means we will fill the whole in_env[] buffer. But we potentially keep looping and adding more to in_len so now it can be any value. It simple enough to change, but it feels weird that we keep looping even though in_env is totally full. Shouldn't we just return an error if we don't have space for desc->in_num. We keep looping because the size of the total input is allowed to be bigger than the 'envelope' which is a subset of the payload that tells us how much data to expect. For safety explicitly check that buf_len does not overflow which is what the checker flagged. Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Fixes: 62232e45f4a2: "libnvdimm: control (ioctl) messages for nvdimm_bus..."

2017-08-31libnvdimm, nd_blk: remove mmio_flush_range()Robin Murphy1-14/+0
mmio_flush_range() suffers from a lack of clearly-defined semantics, and is somewhat ambiguous to port to other architectures where the scope of the writeback implied by "flush" and ordering might matter, but MMIO would tend to imply non-cacheable anyway. Per the rationale in 67a3e8fe9015 ("nd_blk: change aperture mapping from WC to WB"), the only existing use is actually to invalidate clean cache lines for ARCH_MEMREMAP_PMEM type mappings *without* writeback. Since the recent cleanup of the pmem API, that also now happens to be the exact purpose of arch_invalidate_pmem(), which would be a far more well-defined tool for the job. Rather than risk potentially inconsistent implementations of mmio_flush_range() for the sake of one callsite, streamline things by removing it entirely and instead move the ARCH_MEMREMAP_PMEM related definitions up to the libnvdimm level, so they can be shared by NFIT as well. This allows NFIT to be enabled for arm64. Signed-off-by: Robin Murphy <robin.murphy@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>
2017-08-31libnvdimm, btt: rework error clearingVishal Verma3-19/+111
Clearing errors or badblocks during a BTT write requires sending an ACPI DSM, which means potentially sleeping. Since a BTT IO happens in atomic context (preemption disabled, spinlocks may be held), we cannot perform error clearing in the course of an IO. Due to this error clearing for BTT IOs has hitherto been disabled. In this patch we move error clearing out of the atomic section, and thus re-enable error clearing with BTTs. When we are about to add a block to the free list, we check if it was previously marked as an error, and if it was, we add it to the freelist, but also set a flag that says error clearing will be required. We then drop the lane (ending the atomic context), and send a zero buffer so that the error can be cleared. The error flag in the free list is protected by the nd 'lane', and is set only be a thread while it holds that lane. When the error is cleared, the flag is cleared, but while holding a mutex for that freelist index. When writing, we check for two things - 1/ If the freelist mutex is held or if the error flag is set. If so, this is an error block that is being (or about to be) cleared. 2/ If the block is a known badblock based on nsio->bb The second check is required because the BTT map error flag for a map entry only gets set when an error LBA is read. If we write to a new location that may not have the map error flag set, but still might be in the region's badblock list, we can trigger an EIO on the write, which is undesirable and completely avoidable.

2017-08-31libnvdimm: fix potential deadlock while clearing errorsVishal Verma1-0/+6
With the ACPI NFIT 'DSM' methods, acpi can be called from IO paths. Specifically, the DSM to clear media errors is called during writes, so that we can provide a writes-fix-errors model. However it is easy to imagine a scenario like: -> write through the nvdimm driver -> acpi allocation -> writeback, causes more IO through the nvdimm driver -> deadlock Fix this by using memalloc_noio_{save,restore}, which sets the GFP_NOIO flag for the current scope when issuing commands/IOs that are expected to clear errors.

In reality this should not cause a problem, because map writes are to small for nsio_rw_bytes to attempt error clearing, but it should be fixed for posterity.

2017-08-23block: replace bi_bdev with a gendisk pointer and partitions indexChristoph Hellwig1-2/+2
This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O. The block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node is open. Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code). For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists once per block device. But given that the block layer also does partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is used for said remapping in generic_make_request. Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all over the stack.
