ca6a4657e5 x86, libnvdimm, pmem: remove global pmem api
Now that all callers of the pmem api have been converted to dax helpers that
call back to the pmem driver, we can remove include/linux/pmem.h and
asm/pmem.h.

9d62ed9651 libnvdimm: handle locked label storage areas
Per the latest version of the "NVDIMM DSM Interface Example" [1], the
label data retrieval routine can report a "locked" status. In this case
all regions associated with that DIMM are disabled until the label area
is unlocked. Provide generic libnvdimm enabling for NVDIMMs with label
data area locking capabilities.

8f078b38dd libnvdimm: convert NDD_ flags to use bitops, introduce NDD_LOCKED
This is a preparation patch for handling locked nvdimm label regions, a
new concept as introduced by the latest DSM document on pmem.io [1]. A
future patch will leverage nvdimm_set_locked() at DIMM probe time to
flag regions that can not be enabled. There should be no functional
difference resulting from this change.

86ef58a4e3 nfit, libnvdimm: fix interleave set cookie calculation
The interleave-set cookie is a sum that sanity checks the composition of
an interleave set has not changed from when the namespace was initially
created.  The checksum is calculated by sorting the DIMMs by their
location in the interleave-set. The comparison for the sort must be
64-bit wide, not byte-by-byte as performed by memcmp() in the broken
case.

Fix the implementation to accept correct cookie values in addition to
the Linux "memcmp" order cookies, but only allow correct cookies to be
generated going forward. It does mean that namespaces created by
third-party-tooling, or created by newer kernels with this fix, will not
validate on older kernels. However, there are a couple mitigating
conditions:

    1/ platforms with namespace-label capable NVDIMMs are not widely
       available.

    2/ interleave-sets with a single-dimm are by definition not affected
       (nothing to sort). This covers the QEMU-KVM NVDIMM emulation case.

The cookie stored in the namespace label will be fixed by any write the
namespace label, the most straightforward way to achieve this is to
write to the "alt_name" attribute of a namespace in sysfs.

9d032f4201 libnvdimm, namespace: do not delete namespace-id 0
Given that the naming of pmem devices changes from the pmemX form to the
pmemX.Y form when namespace id is greater than 0, arrange for namespaces
with id-0 to be exempt from deletion. Otherwise a simple reconfiguration
of an existing namespace to a new mode results in a name change of the
resulting block device:

    # ndctl list --namespace=namespace1.0
    {
      "dev":"namespace1.0",
      "mode":"raw",
      "size":2147483648,
      "uuid":"3dadf3dc-89b9-4b24-b20e-abc8a4707ce3",
      "blockdev":"pmem1"
    }

    # ndctl create-namespace --reconfig=namespace1.0 --mode=memory --force
    {
      "dev":"namespace1.1",
      "mode":"memory",
      "size":2111832064,

      "blockdev":"pmem1.1"

This change does require tooling changes to explicitly look for
namespaceX.0 if the seed has already advanced to another namespace.

0731de0dd9 libnvdimm, pfn: move 'memory mode' indication to sysfs
'Memory mode' is defined as the capability of a DAX mapping to be the
source/target of DMA and other "direct I/O" scenarios.  While it
currently requires allocating 'struct page' for each page frame of
persistent memory in the namespace it will not always be the case.  Work
continues on reducing the kernel's dependency on 'struct page'.

Let's not maintain a suffix that is expected to lose meaning over time.
In other words a future 'raw mode' pmem namespace may be as capable as
today's 'memory mode' namespace.  Undo the encoding of the mode in the
device name and leave it to other tooling to determine the mode of the
namespace from its attributes.

bd26d0d0ce nvdimm: improve diagnosibility of namespaces
In order to bind namespace to the driver user must first
set all mandatory attributes in the following order:
- uuid
- size
- sector_size (for blk namespace only)

If the order is wrong, then user either won't be able to set

This simple patch improves diagnosibility of common operations
with namespaces by printing some details about the error
instead of failing silently.

Below are examples of error messages (assuming dyndbg is

When a BTT is instantiated on a namespace it must validate the namespace
uuid matches the 'parent_uuid' stored in the btt superblock. This
property enforces that changing the namespace UUID invalidates all
former BTT instances on that storage. For "IO namespaces" that don't
have a label or UUID, the parent_uuid is set to zero, and this
validation is skipped. For such cases, old BTTs have to be invalidated
by forcing the namespace to raw mode, and overwriting the BTT info
blocks.

Add support of sysfs 'numa_node' to I/O-related NVDIMM devices
under /sys/bus/nd/devices, regionN, namespaceN.0, and bttN.x.

An example of numa_node values on a 2-socket system with a single
NVDIMM range on each socket is shown below.
  /sys/bus/nd/devices
  |-- btt0.0/numa_node:0
  |-- btt1.0/numa_node:1
  |-- btt1.1/numa_node:1
  |-- namespace0.0/numa_node:0
  |-- namespace1.0/numa_node:1
  |-- region0/numa_node:0
  |-- region1/numa_node:1

These numa_node files are then linked under the block class of
their device names.
  /sys/class/block/pmem0/device/numa_node:0
  /sys/class/block/pmem1s/device/numa_node:1

This enables numactl(8) to accept 'block:' and 'file:' paths of
pmem and btt devices as shown in the examples below.

047fc8a1f9 libnvdimm, nfit, nd_blk: driver for BLK-mode access persistent memory
The libnvdimm implementation handles allocating dimm address space (DPA)
between PMEM and BLK mode interfaces.  After DPA has been allocated from
a BLK-region to a BLK-namespace the nd_blk driver attaches to handle I/O
as a struct bio based block device. Unlike PMEM, BLK is required to
handle platform specific details like mmio register formats and memory
controller interleave.  For this reason the libnvdimm generic nd_blk
driver calls back into the bus provider to carry out the I/O.

This initial implementation handles the BLK interface defined by the
ACPI 6 NFIT [1] and the NVDIMM DSM Interface Example [2] composed from
DCR (dimm control region), BDW (block data window), IDT (interleave
descriptor) NFIT structures and the hardware register format.

5212e11fde nd_btt: atomic sector updates
BTT stands for Block Translation Table, and is a way to provide power
fail sector atomicity semantics for block devices that have the ability
to perform byte granularity IO. It relies on the capability of libnvdimm
namespace devices to do byte aligned IO.

The BTT works as a stacked blocked device, and reserves a chunk of space
from the backing device for its accounting metadata. It is a bio-based
driver because all IO is done synchronously, and there is no queuing or
asynchronous completions at either the device or the driver level.

The BTT uses 'lanes' to index into various 'on-disk' data structures,
and lanes also act as a synchronization mechanism in case there are more
CPUs than available lanes. We did a comparison between two lane lock
strategies - first where we kept an atomic counter around that tracked
which was the last lane that was used, and 'our' lane was determined by
atomically incrementing that. That way, for the nr_cpus > nr_lanes case,
theoretically, no CPU would be blocked waiting for a lane. The other
strategy was to use the cpu number we're scheduled on to and hash it to
a lane number. Theoretically, this could block an IO that could've
otherwise run using a different, free lane. But some fio workloads
showed that the direct cpu -> lane hash performed faster than tracking
'last lane' - my reasoning is the cache thrash caused by moving the
atomic variable made that approach slower than simply waiting out the
in-progress IO. This supports the conclusion that the driver can be a
very simple bio-based one that does synchronous IOs instead of queuing.

8c2f7e8658 libnvdimm: infrastructure for btt devices
NVDIMM namespaces, in addition to accepting "struct bio" based requests,
also have the capability to perform byte-aligned accesses.  By default
only the bio/block interface is used.  However, if another driver can
make effective use of the byte-aligned capability it can claim namespace
interface and use the byte-aligned ->rw_bytes() interface.

The BTT driver is the initial first consumer of this mechanism to allow
adding atomic sector update semantics to a pmem or blk namespace.  This
patch is the sysfs infrastructure to allow configuring a BTT instance
for a namespace.  Enabling that BTT and performing i/o is in a
subsequent patch.

0ba1c63489 libnvdimm: write blk label set
After 'uuid', 'size', 'sector_size', and optionally 'alt_name' have been
set to valid values the labels on the dimm can be updated.  The
difference with the pmem case is that blk namespaces are limited to one
dimm and can cover discontiguous ranges in dpa space.

Also, after allocating label slots, it is useful for userspace to know
how many slots are left.  Export this information in sysfs.

f524bf271a libnvdimm: write pmem label set
After 'uuid', 'size', and optionally 'alt_name' have been set to valid
values the labels on the dimms can be updated.

Write procedure is:
1/ Allocate and write new labels in the "next" index
2/ Free the old labels in the working copy
3/ Write the bitmap and the label space on the dimm
4/ Write the index to make the update valid

Label ranges directly mirror the dpa resource values for the given
label_id of the namespace.

1b40e09a12 libnvdimm: blk labels and namespace instantiation
A blk label set describes a namespace comprised of one or more
discontiguous dpa ranges on a single dimm.  They may alias with one or
more pmem interleave sets that include the given dimm.

This is the runtime/volatile configuration infrastructure for sysfs
manipulation of 'alt_name', 'uuid', 'size', and 'sector_size'.  A later
patch will make these settings persistent by writing back the label(s).

Unlike pmem namespaces, multiple blk namespaces can be created per
region.  Once a blk namespace has been created a new seed device
(unconfigured child of a parent blk region) is instantiated.  As long as
a region has 'available_size' != 0 new child namespaces may be created.

bf9bccc14c libnvdimm: pmem label sets and namespace instantiation.
A complete label set is a PMEM-label per-dimm per-interleave-set where
all the UUIDs match and the interleave set cookie matches the hosting
interleave set.

Present sysfs attributes for manipulation of a PMEM-namespace's
'alt_name', 'uuid', and 'size' attributes.  A later patch will make
these settings persistent by writing back the label.

Note that PMEM allocations grow forwards from the start of an interleave
set (lowest dimm-physical-address (DPA)).  BLK-namespaces that alias
with a PMEM interleave set will grow allocations backward from the
highest DPA.

3d88002e4a libnvdimm: support for legacy (non-aliasing) nvdimms
The libnvdimm region driver is an intermediary driver that translates
non-volatile "region"s into "namespace" sub-devices that are surfaced by
persistent memory block-device drivers (PMEM and BLK).

ACPI 6 introduces the concept that a given nvdimm may simultaneously
offer multiple access modes to its media through direct PMEM load/store
access, or windowed BLK mode.  Existing nvdimms mostly implement a PMEM
interface, some offer a BLK-like mode, but never both as ACPI 6 defines.
If an nvdimm is single interfaced, then there is no need for dimm
metadata labels.  For these devices we can take the region boundaries
directly to create a child namespace device (nd_namespace_io).
