ed01e50acd device-dax: fix cdev leak
If device_add() fails, cleanup the cdev. Otherwise, we leak a kobj_map()
with a stale device number.

As Jason points out, there is a small possibility that userspace has
opened and mapped the device in the time between cdev_add() and the
device_add() failure. We need a new kill_dax_dev() helper to invalidate
any established mappings.

c791ace1e7 mm: replace FAULT_FLAG_SIZE with parameter to huge_fault
Since the introduction of FAULT_FLAG_SIZE to the vm_fault flag, it has
been somewhat painful with getting the flags set and removed at the
correct locations.  More than one kernel oops was introduced due to
difficulties of getting the placement correctly.

Remove the flag values and introduce an input parameter to huge_fault
that indicates the size of the page entry.  This makes the code easier
to trace and should avoid the issues we see with the fault flags where
removal of the flag was necessary in the fallback paths.

a2d581675d mm,fs,dax: change ->pmd_fault to ->huge_fault
Patch series "1G transparent hugepage support for device dax", v2.

The following series implements support for 1G trasparent hugepage on
x86 for device dax.  The bulk of the code was written by Mathew Wilcox a
while back supporting transparent 1G hugepage for fs DAX.  I have
forward ported the relevant bits to 4.10-rc.  The current submission has
only the necessary code to support device DAX.

Comments from Dan Williams: So the motivation and intended user of this
functionality mirrors the motivation and users of 1GB page support in
hugetlbfs.  Given expected capacities of persistent memory devices an
in-memory database may want to reduce tlb pressure beyond what they can
already achieve with 2MB mappings of a device-dax file.  We have
customer feedback to that effect as Willy mentioned in his previous
version of these patches [1].

[1]: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/1/31/52

Comments from Nilesh @ Oracle:

There are applications which have a process model; and if you assume
10,000 processes attempting to mmap all the 6TB memory available on a
server; we are looking at the following:

processes         : 10,000
memory            :    6TB
pte @ 4k page size: 8 bytes / 4K of memory * #processes = 6TB / 4k * 8 * 10000 = 1.5GB * 80000 = 120,000GB
pmd @ 2M page size: 120,000 / 512 = ~240GB
pud @ 1G page size: 240GB / 512 = ~480MB

As you can see with 2M pages, this system will use up an exorbitant
amount of DRAM to hold the page tables; but the 1G pages finally brings
it down to a reasonable level.  Memory sizes will keep increasing; so
this number will keep increasing.

An argument can be made to convert the applications from process model
to thread model, but in the real world that may not be always practical.
Hopefully this helps explain the use case where this is valuable.

This patch (of 3):

In preparation for adding the ability to handle PUD pages, convert
vm_operations_struct.pmd_fault to vm_operations_struct.huge_fault.  The
vm_fault structure is extended to include a union of the different page
table pointers that may be needed, and three flag bits are reserved to
indicate which type of pointer is in the union.

a vmf can be passed in just like a fault() handler. This will simplify
code and remove the need for the actual pmd fault handlers to allocate a
vmf. Related functions are also modified to do the same.

3be134e515 libnvdimm for 4.10
* Dynamic label support: To date namespace label support has been
 limited to disambiguating cases where PMEM (direct load/store) and BLK
 (mmio aperture) accessed-capacity alias on the same DIMM. Since 4.9 added
 support for multiple namespaces per PMEM-region there is value to
 support namespace labels even in the non-aliasing case. The presence of
 a valid namespace index block force-enables label support when the
 kernel would otherwise rely on region boundaries, and permits the region
 to be sub-divided.
 
 * Handle media errors in namespace metadata: Complement the error
 handling for media errors in namespace data areas with support for
 clearing errors on writes, and downgrading potential machine-check
 exceptions to simple i/o errors on read.
 
 * Device-DAX region attributes: Add 'align', 'id', and 'size' as
 attributes for device-dax regions. In particular this enables userspace
 tooling to generically size memory mapping and i/o operations. Prevent
 userspace from growing assumptions / dependencies about the parent
 device topology for a dax region. A libnvdimm namespace may not always
 be the parent device of a dax region.
 
 * Various cleanups and small fixes.

d7fe1a67f6 dax: add region 'id', 'size', and 'align' attributes
While this information is available by looking at the nvdimm parent
device that may not always be the case when/if we add support for other
memory regions. Tooling should not depend on walking a given ancestor
topology that is not guaranteed by the device's class. For example, a
device-dax instance will always have a dax_region parent, but it may not
always have a libnvdimm "dax" device as a grandparent.

Hugh notes in response to commit 4cb19355ea "device-dax: fail all

  "I think that is more restrictive than you intended: haven't tried, but I

Indeed it does restrict read-only mappings, switch to checking

043a925502 dax: reorder dax_fops function definitions
In order to convert devm_create_dax_dev() to use cdev, it will need
access to dax_fops. Move dax_fops and related function definitions
before devm_create_dax_dev().

d1c8e0c521 dax: use devm_add_action_or_reset()
If devm_add_action() fails, we are explicitly calling the cleanup to free
the resources allocated. Use the helper devm_add_action_or_reset()
and return directly in case of error, since the cleanup function
has been already called by the helper if there was any error.

dee4107924 /dev/dax, core: file operations and dax-mmap
The "Device DAX" core enables dax mappings of performance / feature
differentiated memory.  An open mapping or file handle keeps the backing
struct device live, but new mappings are only possible while the device
is enabled.   Faults are handled under rcu_read_lock to synchronize
with the enabled state of the device.

Similar to the filesystem-dax case the backing memory may optionally
have struct page entries.  However, unlike fs-dax there is no support
for private mappings, or mappings that are not backed by media (see
use of zero-page in fs-dax).

Mappings are always guaranteed to match the alignment of the dax_region.
If the dax_region is configured to have a 2MB alignment, all mappings
are guaranteed to be backed by a pmd entry.  Contrast this determinism
with the fs-dax case where pmd mappings are opportunistic.  If userspace
attempts to force a misaligned mapping, the driver will fail the mmap
attempt.  See dax_dev_check_vma() for other scenarios that are rejected,
like MAP_PRIVATE mappings.

ab68f26221 /dev/dax, pmem: direct access to persistent memory
Device DAX is the device-centric analogue of Filesystem DAX
(CONFIG_FS_DAX).  It allows memory ranges to be allocated and mapped
without need of an intervening file system.  Device DAX is strict,
precise and predictable.  Specifically this interface:

1/ Guarantees fault granularity with respect to a given page size (pte,
pmd, or pud) set at configuration time.

2/ Enforces deterministic behavior by being strict about what fault
scenarios are supported.

For example, by forcing MADV_DONTFORK semantics and omitting MAP_PRIVATE
support device-dax guarantees that a mapping always behaves/performs the
same once established.  It is the "what you see is what you get" access
mechanism to differentiated memory vs filesystem DAX which has
filesystem specific implementation semantics.

Persistent memory is the first target, but the mechanism is also
targeted for exclusive allocations of performance differentiated memory
ranges.

This commit is limited to the base device driver infrastructure to
associate a dax device with pmem range.
