2018-04-03dax: introduce CONFIG_DAX_DRIVERDan Williams
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.

2017-05-09device-dax: kill NR_DEV_DAXDan Williams
There is no point to ask how many device-dax instances the kernel should support. Since we are already using a dynamic major number, just allow the max number of minors by default and be done. This also fixes the fact that the proposed max for the NR_DEV_DAX range was larger than what could be supported by alloc_chrdev_region().

2017-04-12dax: refactor dax-fs into a generic provider of 'struct dax_device' instancesDan Williams
We want dax capable drivers to be able to publish a set of dax operations [1]. However, we do not want to further abuse block_devices to advertise these operations. Instead we will attach these operations to a dax device and add a lookup mechanism to go from block device path to a dax device. A dax capable driver like pmem or brd is responsible for registering a dax device, alongside a block device, and then a dax capable filesystem is responsible for retrieving the dax device by path name if it wants to call dax_operations. For now, we refactor the dax pseudo-fs to be a generic facility, rather than an implementation detail, of the device-dax use case. Where a "dax device" is just an inode + dax infrastructure, and "Device DAX" is a mapping service layered on top of that base 'struct dax_device'. "Filesystem DAX" is then a mapping service that layers a filesystem on top of that same base device. Filesystem DAX is associated with a block_device for now, but perhaps directly to a dax device in the future, or for new pmem-only filesystems.

2016-10-27nvdimm: make CONFIG_NVDIMM_DAX 'bool'Arnd Bergmann
A bugfix just tried to address a randconfig build problem and introduced a variant of the same problem: with CONFIG_LIBNVDIMM=y and CONFIG_NVDIMM_DAX=m, the nvdimm module now fails to link: drivers/nvdimm/built-in.o: In function `to_nd_device_type': bus.c:(.text+0x1b5d): undefined reference to `is_nd_dax' drivers/nvdimm/built-in.o: In function `nd_region_notify_driver_action.constprop.2': region_devs.c:(.text+0x6b6c): undefined reference to `is_nd_dax' region_devs.c:(.text+0x6b8c): undefined reference to `to_nd_dax' drivers/nvdimm/built-in.o: In function `nd_region_probe': region.c:(.text+0x70f3): undefined reference to `nd_dax_create' drivers/nvdimm/built-in.o: In function `mode_show': namespace_devs.c:(.text+0xa196): undefined reference to `is_nd_dax' drivers/nvdimm/built-in.o: In function `nvdimm_namespace_common_probe': (.text+0xa55f): undefined reference to `is_nd_dax' drivers/nvdimm/built-in.o: In function `nvdimm_namespace_common_probe': (.text+0xa56e): undefined reference to `to_nd_dax' This reverts the earlier fix, making NVDIMM_DAX a 'bool' option again as it should be (it gets linked into the libnvdimm module). To fix the original problem, I'm adding a dependency on LIBNVDIMM to DEV_DAX_PMEM, which ensures we can't have that one built-in if the rest is a module.

2016-08-23dax: convert to the cdev apiDan Williams
A goal of the device-DAX interface is to be able to support many exclusive allocations (partitions) of performance / feature differentiated memory. This count may exceed the default minors limit of 256. As a result of switching to an embedded cdev the inode-to-dax_dev conversion is simplified, as well as reference counting which can switch to the cdev kobject lifetime.

2016-05-20/dev/dax, core: file operations and dax-mmapDan Williams
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.

2016-05-20/dev/dax, pmem: direct access to persistent memoryDan Williams
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.
