426824d63b libnvdimm: remove redundant __func__ in dev_dbg
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.

d9b83c7569 libnvdimm, btt: rework error clearing
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.

1db1f3cea1 libnvdimm, btt: fix a missed NVDIMM_IO_ATOMIC case in the write path
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.

7e5a21dfe5 libnvdimm: fix the clear-error check in nsio_rw_bytes
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.

b3fde74ea1 libnvdimm, label: add address abstraction identifiers
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.

0aed55af88 x86, uaccess: introduce copy_from_iter_flushcache for pmem / cache-bypass operations
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.

3ae3d67ba7 libnvdimm: add an atomic vs process context flag to rw_bytes
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.

a3e9af95f7 libnvdimm: restore "libnvdimm: band aid btt vs clear poison locking"

452bae0aed libnvdimm: fix nvdimm_bus_lock() vs device_lock() ordering
A debug patch to turn the standard device_lock() into something that
lockdep can analyze yielded the following:

 ======================================================
 [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
 4.11.0-rc4+ #106 Tainted: G           O
 -------------------------------------------------------
 lt-libndctl/1898 is trying to acquire lock:
  (&dev->nvdimm_mutex/3){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffffc023c948>] nd_attach_ndns+0x178/0x1b0 [libnvdimm]

 but task is already holding lock:
  (&nvdimm_bus->reconfig_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffffc022e0b1>] nvdimm_bus_lock+0x21/0x30 [libnvdimm]

 which lock already depends on the new lock.

 the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

 -> #1 (&nvdimm_bus->reconfig_mutex){+.+.+.}:
        lock_acquire+0xf6/0x1f0
        __mutex_lock+0x88/0x980
        mutex_lock_nested+0x1b/0x20
        nvdimm_bus_lock+0x21/0x30 [libnvdimm]
        nvdimm_namespace_capacity+0x1b/0x40 [libnvdimm]
        nvdimm_namespace_common_probe+0x230/0x510 [libnvdimm]
        nd_pmem_probe+0x14/0x180 [nd_pmem]
        nvdimm_bus_probe+0xa9/0x260 [libnvdimm]

 -> #0 (&dev->nvdimm_mutex/3){+.+.+.}:

        nd_namespace_store+0x308/0x3c0 [libnvdimm]
        namespace_store+0x87/0x220 [libnvdimm]

In this case '&dev->nvdimm_mutex/3' mirrors '&dev->mutex'.

Fix this by replacing the use of device_lock() with nvdimm_bus_lock() to protect
nd_{attach,detach}_ndns() operations.

6abccd1bfe x86, dax, pmem: remove indirection around memcpy_from_pmem()
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().

is needed.

450c6633e8 libnvdimm: use consistent naming for request_mem_region()
Here is an example /proc/iomem listing for a system with 2 namespaces,
one in "sector" mode and one in "memory" mode:

  1fc000000-2fbffffff : Persistent Memory (legacy)
    1fc000000-2fbffffff : namespace1.0
  340000000-34fffffff : Persistent Memory
    340000000-34fffffff : btt0.1

Here is the corresponding ndctl listing:

  # ndctl list
  [
    {
      "dev":"namespace1.0",
      "mode":"memory",
      "size":4294967296,
      "blockdev":"pmem1"
    },
    {
      "dev":"namespace0.0",
      "mode":"sector",
      "size":267091968,
      "uuid":"f7594f86-badb-4592-875f-ded577da2eaf",
      "sector_size":4096,
      "blockdev":"pmem0s"
    }
  ]

Notice that the ndctl listing is purely in terms of namespace devices,
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.

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().

03dca343af libnvdimm, dax: fix deletion
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.

cd03412a51 libnvdimm, dax: introduce device-dax infrastructure
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.

200c79da82 libnvdimm, pmem, pfn: make pmem_rw_bytes generic and refactor pfn setup
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.

e1455744b2 libnvdimm, pfn: 'struct page' provider infrastructure
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.
