2017-06-27libnvdimm, nfit: enable support for volatile rangesDan Williams
Allow volatile nfit ranges to participate in all the same infrastructure provided for persistent memory regions. A resulting resulting namespace device will still be called "pmem", but the parent region type will be "nd_volatile". This is in preparation for disabling the dax ->flush() operation in the pmem driver when it is hosted on a volatile range.

2016-10-07libnvdimm, namespace: enable allocation of multiple pmem namespacesDan Williams
Now that we have nd_region_available_dpa() able to handle the presence of multiple PMEM allocations in aliased PMEM regions, reuse that same infrastructure to track allocations from free space. In particular handle allocating from an aliased PMEM region in the case where there are dis-contiguous holes. The allocation for BLK and PMEM are documented in the space_valid() helper: BLK-space is valid as long as it does not precede a PMEM allocation in a given region. PMEM-space must be contiguous and adjacent to an existing existing allocation (if one exists). Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>
2016-10-07libnvdimm, region: update nd_region_available_dpa() for multi-pmem supportDan Williams
The free dpa (dimm-physical-address) space calculation reports how much free space is available with consideration for aliased BLK + PMEM regions. Recall that BLK capacity is allocated from high addresses and PMEM is allocated from low addresses in their respective regions. nd_region_available_dpa() accounts for the fact that the largest encroachment (lowest starting address) into PMEM capacity by a BLK allocation limits the available capacity to that point, regardless if there is BLK allocation hole at a higher address. Similarly, for the multi-pmem case we need to track the largest encroachment (highest ending address) of a PMEM allocation in BLK capacity regardless of whether there is an allocation hole that a BLK allocation could fill at a lower address.

In preparation for triggering flushes of a DIMM's writes-posted-queue (WPQ) via the pmem driver move mapping of flush hint addresses to the region driver. Since this uses devm_nvdimm_memremap() the flush addresses will remain mapped while any region to which the dimm belongs is active. We need to communicate more information to the nvdimm core to facilitate this mapping, namely each dimm object now carries an array of flush hint address resources.

2016-07-07libnvdimm: introduce devm_nvdimm_memremap(), convert nfit_spa_map() usersDan Williams
In preparation for generically mapping flush hint addresses for both the BLK and PMEM use case, provide a generic / reference counted mapping api. Given the fact that a dimm may belong to multiple regions (PMEM and BLK), the flush hint addresses need to be held valid as long as any region associated with the dimm is active. This is similar to the existing BLK-region case where multiple BLK-regions may share an aperture mapping. Up-level this shared / reference-counted mapping capability from the nfit driver to a core nvdimm capability. This eliminates the need for the nd_blk_region.disable() callback. Note that the removal of nfit_spa_map() and related infrastructure is deferred to a later patch. Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>

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.

2015-06-26libnvdimm, nfit, nd_blk: driver for BLK-mode access persistent memoryRoss Zwisler
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.

2015-06-25libnvdimm: infrastructure for btt devicesDan Williams
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.

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.

2015-06-24libnvdimm: blk labels and namespace instantiationDan Williams
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.

2015-06-24libnvdimm, nfit: add interleave-set state-tracking infrastructureDan Williams
On platforms that have firmware support for reading/writing per-dimm label space, a portion of the dimm may be accessible via an interleave set PMEM mapping in addition to the dimm's BLK (block-data-window aperture(s)) interface. A label, stored in a "configuration data region" on the dimm, disambiguates which dimm addresses are accessed through which exclusive interface. Add infrastructure that allows the kernel to block modifications to a label in the set while any member dimm is active. Note that this is meant only for enforcing "no modifications of active labels" via the coarse ioctl command. Adding/deleting namespaces from an active interleave set is always possible via sysfs. Another aspect of tracking interleave sets is tracking their integrity when DIMMs in a set are physically re-ordered. For this purpose we generate an "interleave-set cookie" that can be recorded in a label and validated against the current configuration. It is the bus provider implementation's responsibility to calculate the interleave set cookie and attach it to a given region.

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, nfit: regions (block-data-window, persistent memory, volatile memory)Dan Williams
A "region" device represents the maximum capacity of a BLK range (mmio block-data-window(s)), or a PMEM range (DAX-capable persistent memory or volatile memory), without regard for aliasing. Aliasing, in the dimm-local address space (DPA), is resolved by metadata on a dimm to designate which exclusive interface will access the aliased DPA ranges. Support for the per-dimm metadata/label arrvies is in a subsequent patch. The name format of "region" devices is "regionN" where, like dimms, N is a global ida index assigned at discovery time. This id is not reliable across reboots nor in the presence of hotplug. Look to attributes of the region or static id-data of the sub-namespace to generate a persistent name. However, if the platform configuration does not change it is reasonable to expect the same region id to be assigned at the next boot. "region"s have 2 generic attributes "size", and "mapping"s where: - size: the BLK accessible capacity or the span of the system physical address range in the case of PMEM. - mappingN: a tuple describing a dimm's contribution to the region's capacity in the format (<nmemX>,<dpa>,<size>). For a PMEM-region there will be at least one mapping per dimm in the interleave set. For a BLK-region there is only "mapping0" listing the starting DPA of the BLK-region and the available DPA capacity of that space (matches "size" above). The max number of mappings per "region" is hard coded per the constraints of sysfs attribute groups. That said the number of mappings per region should never exceed the maximum number of possible dimms in the system. If the current number turns out to not be enough then the "mappings" attribute clarifies how many there are supposed to be. "32 should be enough for anybody...".

* Implement the device-model infrastructure for loading modules and attaching drivers to 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.

Most discovery/configuration of the nvdimm-subsystem is done via sysfs attributes. However, some nvdimm_bus instances, particularly the ACPI.NFIT bus, define a small set of messages that can be passed to the platform. For convenience we derive the initial libnvdimm-ioctl command formats directly from the NFIT DSM Interface Example formats. ND_CMD_SMART: media health and diagnostics ND_CMD_GET_CONFIG_SIZE: size of the label space ND_CMD_GET_CONFIG_DATA: read label space ND_CMD_SET_CONFIG_DATA: write label space ND_CMD_VENDOR: vendor-specific command passthrough ND_CMD_ARS_CAP: report address-range-scrubbing capabilities ND_CMD_ARS_START: initiate scrubbing ND_CMD_ARS_STATUS: report on scrubbing state ND_CMD_SMART_THRESHOLD: configure alarm thresholds for smart events If a platform later defines different commands than this set it is straightforward to extend support to those formats. Most of the commands target a specific dimm. However, the address-range-scrubbing commands target the bus. The 'commands' attribute in sysfs of an nvdimm_bus, or nvdimm, enumerate the supported commands for that object.
