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.[dan.carpenter@oracle.com: mm/hmm/test: use after free in dmirror_allocate_chunk()]

In reaction to a proposal to introduce a memcpy_mcsafe_fast()
implementation Linus points out that memcpy_mcsafe() is poorly named
relative to communicating the scope of the interface. Specifically what
addresses are valid to pass as source, destination, and what faults /
exceptions are handled.Of particular concern is that even though x86 might be able to handle
the semantics of copy_mc_to_user() with its common copy_user_generic()
implementation other archs likely need / want an explicit path for this

copy_mc_to_user(), or copy_mc_to_kernel().Introduce an x86 copy_mc_fragile() name as the rename for the
low-level x86 implementation formerly named memcpy_mcsafe(). It is used
as the slow / careful backend that is supplanted by a fast
copy_mc_generic() in a follow-on patch.One side-effect of this reorganization is that separating copy_mc_64.S
to its own file means that perf no longer needs to track dependencies
for its memcpy_64.S benchmarks.[ bp: Massage a bit. ]

The nvdimm core currently maps the full namespace to an ioremap range
while probing the namespace mode. This can result in probe failures on
architectures that have limited ioremap space.For example, with a large btt namespace that consumes most of I/O remap
range, depending on the sequence of namespace initialization, the user
can find a pfn namespace initialization failure due to unavailable I/O
remap space which nvdimm core uses for temporary mapping.nvdimm core can avoid this failure by only mapping the reserved info
block area to check for pfn superblock type and map the full namespace
resource only before using the namespace.Given that personalities like BTT can be layered on top of any namespace
type create a generic form of devm_nsio_enable (devm_namespace_enable)
and use it inside the per-personality attach routines. Now
devm_namespace_enable() is always paired with disable unless the mapping
is going to be used for long term runtime access.Signed-off-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V

Commit 60622d68227d "x86/asm/memcpy_mcsafe: Return bytes remaining"
converted callers of memcpy_mcsafe() to expect a positive 'bytes
remaining' value rather than a negative error code. The nsio_rw_bytes()
conversion failed to return success. The failure is benign in that
nsio_rw_bytes() will end up writing back what it just read.Fixes: 60622d68227d ("x86/asm/memcpy_mcsafe: Return bytes remaining")

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.Co-developed-by: Tony Luck

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->bbThe 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.Cc: Jeff Moyer

The IO context conversion for rw_bytes missed a case in the BTT write
path (btt_map_write) which should've been marked as atomic.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.Add a might_sleep() in the non-atomic section of nsio_rw_bytes so that
things like the nfit unit tests, which don't actually sleep, can catch
bugs like this.Cc: Dan Williams

A leftover from the 'bandaid' fix that disabled BTT error clearing in
rw_bytes resulted in an incorrect check. After we converted these checks
over to use the NVDIMM_IO_ATOMIC flag, the ndns->claim check was both
redundant, and incorrect. Remove it.Fixes: 3ae3d67ba705 ("libnvdimm: add an atomic vs process context flag to rw_bytes")

Starting with v1.2 labels, 'address abstractions' can be hinted via an
address abstraction id that implies an info-block format. The standard
address abstraction in the specification is the v2 format of the
Block-Translation-Table (BTT). Support for that is saved for a later
patch, for now we add support for the Linux supported address
abstractions BTT (v1), PFN, and DAX.The new 'holder_class' attribute for namespace devices is added for
tooling to specify the 'abstraction_guid' to store in the namespace label.
For v1.1 labels this field is undefined and any setting of
'holder_class' away from the default 'none' value will only have effect
until the driver is unloaded. Setting 'holder_class' requires that
whatever device tries to claim the namespace must be of the specified
class.Cc: Vishal Verma

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.[1]: https://lists.01.org/pipermail/linux-nvdimm/2017-January/008364.html

nsio_rw_bytes can clear media errors, but this cannot be done while we
are in an atomic context due to locking within ACPI. From the BTT,
->rw_bytes may be called either from atomic or process context depending
on whether the calls happen during initialization or during IO.During init, we want to ensure error clearing happens, and the flag
marking process context allows nsio_rw_bytes to do that. When called
during IO, we're in atomic context, and error clearing can be skipped.Cc: Dan Williams

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().Cc:

while the iomem listing leaks the internal "btt0.1" implementation
detail. Given that ndctl requires the namespace device name to change
the mode, for example:# ndctl create-namespace --reconfig=namespace0.0 --mode=raw --force
...use the namespace name in the iomem listing to keep the claiming
device name consistent across different mode settings.Cc: Vishal Verma

We need to clear any poison when we are writing to pmem. The granularity
will be sector size. If it's less then we can't do anything about it
barring corruption.Signed-off-by: Dave Jiang

nsio_rw_bytes() is used to write info block metadata to the namespace,
so it should trigger a flush after every write. Replace wmb_pmem() with
nvdimm_flush() in this path.Cc: Ross Zwisler

Prompted by commit 287980e49ffc "remove lots of IS_ERR_VALUE abuses", I
ran make coccicheck against drivers/nvdimm/ and found that:if (IS_ERR(x))
return PTR_ERR(x);
return 0;...can be replaced with PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO().

The ndctl unit tests discovered that the dax enabling omitted updates to
nd_detach_and_reset(). This routine clears device the configuration
when the namespace is detached. Without this clearing userspace may
assume that the device is in the process of being configured by another
agent in the system.Signed-off-by: Dan Williams

Device DAX is the device-centric analogue of Filesystem DAX
(CONFIG_FS_DAX). It allows persistent memory ranges to be allocated and
mapped without need of an intervening file system. This initial
infrastructure arranges for a libnvdimm pfn-device to be represented as
a different device-type so that it can be attached to a driver other
than the pmem driver.Signed-off-by: Dan Williams

In preparation for providing an alternative (to block device) access
mechanism to persistent memory, convert pmem_rw_bytes() to
nsio_rw_bytes(). This allows ->rw_bytes() functionality without
requiring a 'struct pmem_device' to be instantiated.In other words, when ->rw_bytes() is in use i/o is driven through
'struct nd_namespace_io', otherwise it is driven through 'struct
pmem_device' and the block layer. This consolidates the disjoint calls
to devm_exit_badblocks() and devm_memunmap() into a common
devm_nsio_disable() and cleans up the init path to use a unified
pmem_attach_disk() implementation.Reviewed-by: Johannes Thumshirn

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.Cc: Ross Zwisler
