2016-10-19libnvdimm: allow a platform to force enable label supportDan Williams
Platforms like QEMU-KVM implement an NFIT table and label DSMs. However, since that environment does not define an aliased configuration, the labels are currently ignored and the kernel registers a single full-sized pmem-namespace per region. Now that the kernel supports sub-divisions of pmem regions the labels have a purpose. Arrange for the labels to be honored when we find an existing / valid namespace index block.

2016-09-01libnvdimm: Fix nvdimm_probe error on NVDIMM-NToshi Kani
'ndctl list --buses --dimms' does not list any NVDIMM-Ns since they are considered as idle. ndctl checks if any driver is attached to nmem device. nvdimm_probe() always fails in nvdimm_init_nsarea() since NVDIMM-Ns do not implement optinal ND_CMD_GET_CONFIG_DATA command. Change nvdimm_probe() to accept the case that the CONFIG_DATA command is not implemented for NVDIMM-Ns. The driver attaches without ndd, which keeps it no-op to the device.

2015-06-24libnvdimm: pmem label sets and namespace instantiation.Dan Williams
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.

2015-06-24libnvdimm: namespace indices: read and validateDan Williams
This on media label format [1] consists of two index blocks followed by an array of labels. None of these structures are ever updated in place. A sequence number tracks the current active index and the next one to write, while labels are written to free slots. +------------+ | | | nsindex0 | | | +------------+ | | | nsindex1 | | | +------------+ | label0 | +------------+ | label1 | +------------+ | | ....nslot... | | +------------+ | labelN | +------------+ After reading valid labels, store the dpa ranges they claim into per-dimm resource trees.

2015-06-24libnvdimm: support for legacy (non-aliasing) nvdimmsDan Williams
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).

2015-06-24libnvdimm, nvdimm: dimm driver and base libnvdimm device-driver infrastructureDan Williams
* Implement the device-model infrastructure for loading modules and attaching drivers to nvdimm devices. This is a simple association of a nd-device-type number with a driver that has a bitmask of supported device types. To facilitate userspace bind/unbind operations 'modalias' and 'devtype', that also appear in the uevent, are added as generic sysfs attributes for all nvdimm devices. The reason for the device-type number is to support sub-types within a given parent devtype, be it a vendor-specific sub-type or otherwise. * The first consumer of this infrastructure is the driver for dimm devices. It simply uses control messages to retrieve and store the configuration-data image (label set) from each dimm. Note: nd_device_register() arranges for asynchronous registration of nvdimm bus devices by default.
