commit a95c90f1e2c253b280385ecf3d4ebfe476926b28 upstream.
The last step before devm_memremap_pages() returns success is to allocate
a release action, devm_memremap_pages_release(), to tear the entire setup
down. However, the result from devm_add_action() is not checked.Checking the error from devm_add_action() is not enough. The api
currently relies on the fact that the percpu_ref it is using is killed by
the time the devm_memremap_pages_release() is run. Rather than continue
this awkward situation, offload the responsibility of killing the
percpu_ref to devm_memremap_pages_release() directly. This allows
devm_memremap_pages() to do the right thing relative to init failures and
shutdown.Without this change we could fail to register the teardown of
devm_memremap_pages(). The likelihood of hitting this failure is tiny as
small memory allocations almost always succeed. However, the impact of
the failure is large given any future reconfiguration, or disable/enable,
of an nvdimm namespace will fail forever as subsequent calls to
devm_memremap_pages() will fail to setup the pgmap_radix since there will
be stale entries for the physical address range.An argument could be made to require that the ->kill() operation be set in
the @pgmap arg rather than passed in separately. However, it helps code
readability, tracking the lifetime of a given instance, to be able to grep
the kill routine directly at the devm_memremap_pages() call site.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/154275558526.76910.7535251937849268605.stgit@dwillia2-desk3.amr.corp.intel.com

Pull libnvdimm memory-failure update from Dave Jiang:
"As it stands, memory_failure() gets thoroughly confused by dev_pagemap
backed mappings. The recovery code has specific enabling for several
possible page states and needs new enabling to handle poison in dax
mappings.In order to support reliable reverse mapping of user space addresses:
1/ Add new locking in the memory_failure() rmap path to prevent races
that would typically be handled by the page lock.2/ Since dev_pagemap pages are hidden from the page allocator and the
"compound page" accounting machinery, add a mechanism to determine
the size of the mapping that encompasses a given poisoned pfn.3/ Given pmem errors can be repaired, change the speculatively
accessed poison protection, mce_unmap_kpfn(), to be reversible and
otherwise allow ongoing access from the kernel.A side effect of this enabling is that MADV_HWPOISON becomes usable
for dax mappings, however the primary motivation is to allow the
system to survive userspace consumption of hardware-poison via dax.
Specifically the current behavior is:mce: Uncorrected hardware memory error in user-access at af34214200

This patch is reworked from an earlier patch that Dan has posted:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10131727/VM_MIXEDMAP is used by dax to direct mm paths like vm_normal_page() that
the memory page it is dealing with is not typical memory from the linear
map. The get_user_pages_fast() path, since it does not resolve the vma,
is already using {pte,pmd}_devmap() as a stand-in for VM_MIXEDMAP, so we
use that as a VM_MIXEDMAP replacement in some locations. In the cases
where there is no pte to consult we fallback to using vma_is_dax() to
detect the VM_MIXEDMAP special case.Now that we have explicit driver pfn_t-flag opt-in/opt-out for
get_user_pages() support for DAX we can stop setting VM_MIXEDMAP. This
also means we no longer need to worry about safely manipulating vm_flags
in a future where we support dynamically changing the dax mode of a
file.DAX should also now be supported with madvise_behavior(), vma_merge(),
and copy_page_range().This patch has been tested against ndctl unit test. It has also been
tested against xfstests commit: 625515d using fake pmem created by
memmap and no additional issues have been observed.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/152847720311.55924.16999195879201817653.stgit@djiang5-desk3.ch.intel.com

dax_pmem_percpu_exit() waits for dax_pmem_percpu_release() to invoke the
dax_pmem->cmp completion. Unfortunately this approach to cleaning up
the percpu_ref only works after devm_memremap_pages() was successful.If devm_add_action_or_reset() or devm_memremap_pages() fails,
dax_pmem_percpu_release() is not invoked. Therefore
dax_pmem_percpu_exit() hangs waiting for the completion:rc = devm_add_action_or_reset(dev, dax_pmem_percpu_exit,
&dax_pmem->ref);
if (rc)
return rc;dax_pmem->pgmap.ref = &dax_pmem->ref;
addr = devm_memremap_pages(dev, &dax_pmem->pgmap);Avoid the hang by calling percpu_ref_exit() in the error paths instead
of going through dax_pmem_percpu_exit().Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"This adds a user for the new 'bytes-remaining' updates to
memcpy_mcsafe() that you already received through Ingo via the
x86-dax- for-linus pull.Not included here, but still targeting this cycle, is support for
handling memory media errors (poison) consumed via userspace dax
mappings.Summary:
- DAX broke a fundamental assumption of truncate of file mapped
pages. The truncate path assumed that it is safe to disconnect a
pinned page from a file and let the filesystem reclaim the physical
block. With DAX the page is equivalent to the filesystem block.
Introduce dax_layout_busy_page() to enable filesystems to wait for
pinned DAX pages to be released. Without this wait a filesystem
could allocate blocks under active device-DMA to a new file.- DAX arranges for the block layer to be bypassed and uses
dax_direct_access() + copy_to_iter() to satisfy read(2) calls.
However, the memcpy_mcsafe() facility is available through the pmem
block driver. In order to safely handle media errors, via the DAX
block-layer bypass, introduce copy_to_iter_mcsafe().- Fix cache management policy relative to the ACPI NFIT Platform

One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding
the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along
with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example:struct foo {
int stuff;
void *entry[];
};instance = kmalloc(sizeof(struct foo) + sizeof(void *) * count, GFP_KERNEL);
Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can
now use the new struct_size() helper:instance = kmalloc(struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL);

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.Cc: Martin Schwidefsky

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. ARS will now no longer
block namespace initialization.- The NVDIMM Namespace Label implementation is updated to handle
label areas as small as 1K, down from 128K.- Miscellaneous cleanups and updates to unit test infrastructure"

Given that device-dax is making similar page mapping size guarantees as
hugetlbfs, emit the size in smaps and any other kernel path that
requests the mapping size of a vma.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/151996255287.27922.18397777516059080245.stgit@dwillia2-desk3.amr.corp.intel.com

In support of allowing device-mapper to compile out idle/dead code when
there are no dax providers in the system, introduce the DAX_DRIVER
symbol. This is selected by all leaf drivers that device-mapper might be
layered on top. This allows device-mapper to conditionally 'select DAX'
only when a provider is present.Cc: Martin Schwidefsky

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 dax modules to
do it again. If a user decides to add the +f switch for the dax modules'
dynamic debug this results in double prints of the function name.Reported-by: Johannes Thumshirn

If a dax buffer from a device that does not map pages is passed to
read(2) or write(2) as a target for direct-I/O it triggers SIGBUS. If
gdb attempts to examine the contents of a dax buffer from a device that
does not map pages it triggers SIGBUS. If fork(2) is called on a process
with a dax mapping from a device that does not map pages it triggers
SIGBUS. 'struct page' is required otherwise several kernel code paths
break in surprising ways. Disable filesystem-dax on devices that do not
map pages.In addition to needing pfn_to_page() to be valid we also require devmap
pages. We need this to detect dax pages in the get_user_pages_fast()
path and so that we can stop managing the VM_MIXEDMAP flag. For DAX
drivers that have not supported get_user_pages() to date we allow them
to opt-in to supporting DAX with the CONFIG_FS_DAX_LIMITED configuration
option which requires ->direct_access() to return pfn_t_special() pfns.
This leaves DAX support in brd disabled and scheduled for removal.Note that when the initial dax support was being merged a few years back
there was concern that struct page was unsuitable for use with next
generation persistent memory devices. The theoretical concern was that
struct page access, being such a hotly used data structure in the
kernel, would lead to media wear out. While that was a reasonable
conservative starting position it has not held true in practice. We have
long since committed to using devm_memremap_pages() to support higher
order kernel functionality that needs get_user_pages() and
pfn_to_page().Cc: Jeff Moyer

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).Signed-off-by: Logan Gunthorpe

Similar to how device-dax enforces that the 'address', 'offset', and
'len' parameters to mmap() be aligned to the device's fundamental
alignment, the same constraints apply to munmap(). Implement ->split()
to fail munmap calls that violate the alignment constraint.Otherwise, we later fail VM_BUG_ON checks in the unmap_page_range() path
with crash signatures of the form:vma ffff8800b60c8a88 start 00007f88c0000000 end 00007f88c0e00000

Pull libnvdimm and dax updates from Dan Williams:
"Save for a few late fixes, all of these commits have shipped in -next
releases since before the merge window opened, and 0day has given a
build success notification.The ext4 touches came from Jan, and the xfs touches have Darrick's
reviewed-by. An xfstest for the MAP_SYNC feature has been through
a few round of reviews and is on track to be merged.- Introduce MAP_SYNC and MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE, a mechanism to enable
'userspace flush' of persistent memory updates via filesystem-dax
mappings. It arranges for any filesystem metadata updates that may
be required to satisfy a write fault to also be flushed ("on disk")
before the kernel returns to userspace from the fault handler.
Effectively every write-fault that dirties metadata completes an
fsync() before returning from the fault handler. The new
MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE mapping type guarantees that the MAP_SYNC flag
is validated as supported by the filesystem's ->mmap() file
operation.- Add support for the standard ACPI 6.2 label access methods that
replace the NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL (vendor specific) label methods.
This enables interoperability with environments that only implement
the standardized methods.- Add support for the ACPI 6.2 NVDIMM media error injection methods.
- Add support for the NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL v1.6 DIMM commands for
latch last shutdown status, firmware update, SMART error injection,
and SMART alarm threshold control.- Cleanup physical address information disclosures to be root-only.
- Fix revalidation of the DIMM "locked label area" status to support
dynamic unlock of the label area.- Expand unit test infrastructure to mock the ACPI 6.2 Translate SPA
(system-physical-address) command and error injection commands.Acknowledgements that came after the commits were pushed to -next:
