git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm Pull device-dax updates from Dan Williams: "New device-dax infrastructure to allow persistent memory and other "reserved" / performance differentiated memories, to be assigned to the core-mm as "System RAM". Some users want to use persistent memory as additional volatile memory. They are willing to cope with potential performance differences, for example between DRAM and 3D Xpoint, and want to use typical Linux memory management apis rather than a userspace memory allocator layered over an mmap() of a dax file. The administration model is to decide how much Persistent Memory (pmem) to use as System RAM, create a device-dax-mode namespace of that size, and then assign it to the core-mm. The rationale for device-dax is that it is a generic memory-mapping driver that can be layered over any "special purpose" memory, not just pmem. On subsequent boots udev rules can be used to restore the memory assignment. One implication of using pmem as RAM is that mlock() no longer keeps data off persistent media. For this reason it is recommended to enable NVDIMM Security (previously merged for 5.0) to encrypt pmem contents at rest. We considered making this recommendation an actively enforced requirement, but in the end decided to leave it as a distribution / administrator policy to allow for emulation and test environments that lack security capable NVDIMMs. Summary: - Replace the /sys/class/dax device model with /sys/bus/dax, and include a compat driver so distributions can opt-in to the new ABI. - Allow for an alternative driver for the device-dax address-range - Introduce the 'kmem' driver to hotplug / assign a device-dax address-range to the core-mm. - Arrange for the device-dax target-node to be onlined so that the newly added memory range can be uniquely referenced by numa apis" NOTE! I'm not entirely happy with the whole "PMEM as RAM" model because we currently have special - and very annoying rules in the kernel about accessing PMEM only with the "MC safe" accessors, because machine checks inside the regular repeat string copy functions can be fatal in some (not described) circumstances. And apparently the PMEM modules can cause that a lot more than regular RAM. The argument is that this happens because PMEM doesn't necessarily get scrubbed at boot like RAM does, but that is planned to be added for the user space tooling. Quoting Dan from another email: "The exposure can be reduced in the volatile-RAM case by scanning for and clearing errors before it is onlined as RAM. The userspace tooling for that can be in place before v5.1-final. There's also runtime notifications of errors via acpi_nfit_uc_error_notify() from background scrubbers on the DIMM devices. With that mechanism the kernel could proactively clear newly discovered poison in the volatile case, but that would be additional development more suitable for v5.2. I understand the concern, and the need to highlight this issue by tapping the brakes on feature development, but I don't see PMEM as RAM making the situation worse when the exposure is also there via DAX in the PMEM case. Volatile-RAM is arguably a safer use case since it's possible to repair pages where the persistent case needs active application coordination" * tag 'devdax-for-5.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: device-dax: "Hotplug" persistent memory for use like normal RAM mm/resource: Let walk_system_ram_range() search child resources mm/memory-hotplug: Allow memory resources to be children mm/resource: Move HMM pr_debug() deeper into resource code mm/resource: Return real error codes from walk failures device-dax: Add a 'modalias' attribute to DAX 'bus' devices device-dax: Add a 'target_node' attribute device-dax: Auto-bind device after successful new_id acpi/nfit, device-dax: Identify differentiated memory with a unique numa-node device-dax: Add /sys/class/dax backwards compatibility device-dax: Add support for a dax override driver device-dax: Move resource pinning+mapping into the common driver device-dax: Introduce bus + driver model device-dax: Start defining a dax bus model device-dax: Remove multi-resource infrastructure device-dax: Kill dax_region base device-dax: Kill dax_region ida
2019-02-02libnvdimm/dimm: Add a no-BLK quirk based on NVDIMM familyDan Williams
As Dexuan reports the NVDIMM_FAMILY_HYPERV platform is incompatible with the existing Linux namespace implementation because it uses NSLABEL_FLAG_LOCAL for x1-width PMEM interleave sets. Quirk it as an platform / DIMM that does not provide BLK-aperture access. Allow the libnvdimm core to assume no potential for aliasing. In case other implementations make the same mistake, provide a "noblk" module parameter to force-enable the quirk.

2019-01-06acpi/nfit, device-dax: Identify differentiated memory with a unique numa-nodeDan Williams
Persistent memory, as described by the ACPI NFIT (NVDIMM Firmware Interface Table), is the first known instance of a memory range described by a unique "target" proximity domain. Where "initiator" and "target" proximity domains is an approach that the ACPI HMAT (Heterogeneous Memory Attributes Table) uses to described the unique performance properties of a memory range relative to a given initiator (e.g. CPU or DMA device). Currently the numa-node for a /dev/pmemX block-device or /dev/daxX.Y char-device follows the traditional notion of 'numa-node' where the attribute conveys the closest online numa-node. That numa-node attribute is useful for cpu-binding and memory-binding processes *near* the device. However, when the memory range backing a 'pmem', or 'dax' device is onlined (memory hot-add) the memory-only-numa-node representing that address needs to be differentiated from the set of online nodes. In other words, the numa-node association of the device depends on whether you can bind processes *near* the cpu-numa-node in the offline device-case, or bind process *on* the memory-range directly after the backing address range is onlined. Allow for the case that platform firmware describes persistent memory with a unique proximity domain, i.e. when it is distinct from the proximity of DRAM and CPUs that are on the same socket. Plumb the Linux numa-node translation of that proximity through the libnvdimm region device to namespaces that are in device-dax mode. With this in place the proposed kmem driver [1] can optionally discover a unique numa-node number for the address range as it transitions the memory from an offline state managed by a device-driver to an online memory range managed by the core-mm.

2018-12-21acpi/nfit, libnvdimm/security: Add security DSM overwrite supportDave Jiang
Add support for the NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL "ovewrite" capability as described by the Intel DSM spec v1.7. This will allow triggering of overwrite on Intel NVDIMMs. The overwrite operation can take tens of minutes. When the overwrite DSM is issued successfully, the NVDIMMs will be unaccessible. The kernel will do backoff polling to detect when the overwrite process is completed. According to the DSM spec v1.7, the 128G NVDIMMs can take up to 15mins to perform overwrite and larger DIMMs will take longer. Given that overwrite puts the DIMM in an indeterminate state until it completes introduce the NDD_SECURITY_OVERWRITE flag to prevent other operations from executing when overwrite is happening. The NDD_WORK_PENDING flag is added to denote that there is a device reference on the nvdimm device for an async workqueue thread context.

2018-12-05libnvdimm, pfn: Pad pfn namespaces relative to other regionsDan Williams
Commit cfe30b872058 "libnvdimm, pmem: adjust for section collisions with 'System RAM'" enabled Linux to workaround occasions where platform firmware arranges for "System RAM" and "Persistent Memory" to collide within a single section boundary. Unfortunately, as reported in this issue [1], platform firmware can inflict the same collision between persistent memory regions. The approach of interrogating iomem_resource does not work in this case because platform firmware may merge multiple regions into a single iomem_resource range. Instead provide a method to interrogate regions that share the same parent bus. This is a stop-gap until the core-MM can grow support for hotplug on sub-section boundaries.

2018-06-06libnvdimm, pmem: Do not flush power-fail protected CPU cachesRoss Zwisler
This commit: 5fdf8e5ba566 ("libnvdimm: re-enable deep flush for pmem devices via fsync()") intended to make sure that deep flush was always available even on platforms which support a power-fail protected CPU cache. An unintended side effect of this change was that we also lost the ability to skip flushing CPU caches on those power-fail protected CPU cache. Fix this by skipping the low level cache flushing in dax_flush() if we have CPU caches which are power-fail protected. The user can still override this behavior by manually setting the write_cache state of a namespace. See libndctl's ndctl_namespace_write_cache_is_enabled(), ndctl_namespace_enable_write_cache() and ndctl_namespace_disable_write_cache() functions.

2018-03-21libnvdimm, nfit: fix persistence domain reportingDan Williams
The persistence domain is a point in the platform where once writes reach that destination the platform claims it will make them persistent relative to power loss. In the ACPI NFIT this is currently communicated as 2 bits in the "NFIT - Platform Capabilities Structure". The bits comprise a hierarchy, i.e. bit0 "CPU Cache Flush to NVDIMM Durability on Power Loss Capable" implies bit1 "Memory Controller Flush to NVDIMM Durability on Power Loss Capable". Commit 96c3a239054a "libnvdimm: expose platform persistence attr..." shows the persistence domain as flags, but it's really an enumerated hierarchy. Fix this newly introduced user ABI to show the closest available persistence domain before userspace develops dependencies on seeing, or needing to develop code to tolerate, the raw NFIT flags communicated through the libnvdimm-generic region attribute.

2017-06-09x86, uaccess: introduce copy_from_iter_flushcache for pmem / cache-bypass ↵Dan Williams
operations The pmem driver has a need to transfer data with a persistent memory destination and be able to rely on the fact that the destination writes are not cached. It is sufficient for the writes to be flushed to a cpu-store-buffer (non-temporal / "movnt" in x86 terms), as we expect userspace to call fsync() to ensure data-writes have reached a power-fail-safe zone in the platform. The fsync() triggers a REQ_FUA or REQ_FLUSH to the pmem driver which will turn around and fence previous writes with an "sfence". Implement a __copy_from_user_inatomic_flushcache, memcpy_page_flushcache, and memcpy_flushcache, that guarantee that the destination buffer is not dirty in the cpu cache on completion. The new copy_from_iter_flushcache and sub-routines will be used to replace the "pmem api" (include/linux/pmem.h + arch/x86/include/asm/pmem.h). The availability of copy_from_iter_flushcache() and memcpy_flushcache() are gated by the CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_UACCESS_FLUSHCACHE config symbol, and fallback to copy_from_iter_nocache() and plain memcpy() otherwise. This is meant to satisfy the concern from Linus that if a driver wants to do something beyond the normal nocache semantics it should be something private to that driver [1], and Al's concern that anything uaccess related belongs with the rest of the uaccess code [2]. The first consumer of this interface is a new 'copy_from_iter' dax operation so that pmem can inject cache maintenance operations without imposing this overhead on other dax-capable drivers.

2017-04-29libnvdimm: rework region badblocks clearingDan Williams
Toshi noticed that the new support for a region-level badblocks missed the case where errors are cleared due to BTT I/O. An initial attempt to fix this ran into a "sleeping while atomic" warning due to taking the nvdimm_bus_lock() in the BTT I/O path to satisfy the locking requirements of __nvdimm_bus_badblocks_clear(). However, that lock is not needed since we are not acting on any data that is subject to change under that lock. The badblocks instance has its own internal lock to handle mutations of the error list. So, in order to make it clear that we are just acting on region devices, rename __nvdimm_bus_badblocks_clear() to nvdimm_clear_badblocks_regions(). Eliminate the lock and consolidate all support routines for the new nvdimm_account_cleared_poison() in drivers/nvdimm/bus.c. Finally, to the opportunity to cleanup to some unnecessary casts, make the calling convention of nvdimm_clear_badblocks_regions() clearer by replacing struct resource with the minimal struct clear_badblocks_context, and use the DEVICE_ATTR macro.

2017-04-28libnvdimm, region: sysfs trigger for nvdimm_flush()Dan Williams
The nvdimm_flush() mechanism helps to reduce the impact of an ADR (asynchronous-dimm-refresh) failure. The ADR mechanism handles flushing platform WPQ (write-pending-queue) buffers when power is removed. The nvdimm_flush() mechanism performs that same function on-demand. When a pmem namespace is associated with a block device, an nvdimm_flush() is triggered with every block-layer REQ_FUA, or REQ_FLUSH request. These requests are typically associated with filesystem metadata updates. However, when a namespace is in device-dax mode, userspace (think database metadata) needs another path to perform the same flushing. In other words this is not required to make data persistent, but in the case of metadata it allows for a smaller failure domain in the unlikely event of an ADR failure. The new 'deep_flush' attribute is visible when the individual DIMMs backing a given interleave-set are described by platform firmware. In ACPI terms this is "NVDIMM Region Mapping Structures" and associated "Flush Hint Address Structures". Reads return "1" if the region supports triggering WPQ flushes on all DIMMs. Reads return "0" the flush operation is a platform nop, and in that case the attribute is read-only. Why sysfs and not an ioctl? An ioctl requires establishing a new ioctl function number space for device-dax. Given that this would be called on a device-dax fd an application could be forgiven for accidentally calling this on a filesystem-dax fd. Placing this interface in libnvdimm sysfs removes that potential for collision with a filesystem ioctl, and it keeps ioctls out of the generic device-dax implementation.

2017-03-01nfit, libnvdimm: fix interleave set cookie calculationDan Williams
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.

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.

The definition of the flush hint table as: void __iomem *flush_wpq[0][0]; ...passed the unit test, but is broken as flush_wpq[0][1] and flush_wpq[1][0] refer to the same entry. Fix this to use a helper that calculates a slot in the table based on the geometry of flush hints in the region. This is important to get right since virtualization solutions use this mechanism to trigger hypervisor flushes to platform persistence.

2016-09-19nvdimm: fix PHYS_PFN/PFN_PHYS mixupOliver O'Halloran
nd_activate_region() iomaps any hint addresses required when activating a region. To prevent duplicate mappings it checks the PFN of the hint to be mapped against the PFNs of the already mapped hints. Unfortunately it doesn't convert the PFN back into a physical address before passing it to devm_nvdimm_ioremap(). Instead it applies PHYS_PFN a second time which ends about as well as you would imagine. Signed-off-by: Oliver O'Halloran <oohall@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>
2016-07-11libnvdimm: cycle flush hintsDan Williams
When the NFIT provides multiple flush hint addresses per-dimm it is expressing that the platform is capable of processing multiple flush requests in parallel. There is some fixed cost per flush request, let the cost be shared in parallel on multiple cpus. Since there may not be enough flush hint addresses for each cpu to have one, keep a per-cpu index of the last used hint, hash it with current pid, and assume that access pattern and scheduler randomness will keep the flush-hint usage somewhat staggered across cpus.

2016-07-11libnvdimm: introduce nvdimm_flush() and nvdimm_has_flush()Dan Williams
nvdimm_flush() is a replacement for the x86 'pcommit' instruction. It is an optional write flushing mechanism that an nvdimm bus can provide for the pmem driver to consume. In the case of the NFIT nvdimm-bus-provider nvdimm_flush() is implemented as a series of flush-hint-address [1] writes to each dimm in the interleave set (region) that backs the namespace. The nvdimm_has_flush() routine relies on platform firmware to describe the flushing capabilities of a platform. It uses the heuristic of whether an nvdimm bus provider provides flush address data to return a ternary result: 1: flush addresses defined 0: dimm topology described without flush addresses (assume ADR) -errno: no topology information, unable to determine flush mechanism The pmem driver is expected to take the following actions on this ternary result: 1: nvdimm_flush() in response to REQ_FUA / REQ_FLUSH and shutdown 0: do not set, WC or FUA on the queue, take no further action -errno: warn and then operate as if nvdimm_has_flush() returned '0' The caveat of this heuristic is that it can not distinguish the "dimm does not have flush address" case from the "platform firmware is broken and failed to describe a flush address". Given we are already explicitly trusting the NFIT there's not much more we can do beyond blacklisting broken firmwares if they are ever encountered.

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.
