Pull block IO poll support from Jens Axboe:
"Various groups have been doing experimentation around IO polling for
(really) fast devices. The code has been reviewed and has been
sitting on the side for a few releases, but this is now good enough
for coordinated benchmarking and further experimentation.
Currently O_DIRECT sync read/write are supported. A framework is in
the works that allows scalable stats tracking so we can auto-tune
this. And we'll add libaio support as well soon. Fow now, it's an
opt-in feature for test purposes"

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"Outside of the new ACPI-NFIT hot-add support this pull request is more
notable for what it does not contain, than what it does. There were a
handful of development topics this cycle, dax get_user_pages, dax
fsync, and raw block dax, that need more more iteration and will wait
for 4.5.
The patches to make devm and the pmem driver NUMA aware have been in
-next for several weeks. The hot-add support has not, but is
contained to the NFIT driver and is passing unit tests. The coredump
support is straightforward and was looked over by Jeff. All of it has
received a 0day build success notification across 107 configs.
Summary:
- Add support for the ACPI 6.0 NFIT hot add mechanism to process
updates of the NFIT at runtime.
- Teach the coredump implementation how to filter out DAX mappings.
- Introduce NUMA hints for allocations made by the pmem driver, and
as a side effect all devm allocations now hint their NUMA node by
default"

The libnvidmm-btt and nvme drivers use blk_integrity to reserve space
for per-sector metadata, but sometimes without protection checksums.
This property is generically useful, so teach the block core to
internally specify a nop profile if one is not provided at registration
time.

Up until now the_integrity profile has been dynamically allocated and
attached to struct gendisk after the disk has been made active.
This causes problems because NVMe devices need to register the profile
prior to the partition table being read due to a mandatory metadata
buffer requirement. In addition, DM goes through hoops to deal with
preallocating, but not initializing integrity profiles.
Since the integrity profile is small (4 bytes + a pointer), Christoph
suggested moving it to struct gendisk proper. This requires several
changes:
- Moving the blk_integrity definition to genhd.h.
- Inlining blk_integrity in struct gendisk.
- Removing the dynamic allocation code.
- Adding helper functions which allow gendisk to set up and tear down
the integrity sysfs dir when a disk is added/deleted.
- Adding a blk_integrity_revalidate() callback for updating the stable
pages bdi setting.
- The calls that depend on whether a device has an integrity profile or
not now key off of the bi->profile pointer.
- Simplifying the integrity support routines in DM (Mike Snitzer).

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"This update has successfully completed a 0day-kbuild run and has
appeared in a linux-next release. The changes outside of the typical
drivers/nvdimm/ and drivers/acpi/nfit.[ch] paths are related to the
removal of IORESOURCE_CACHEABLE, the introduction of memremap(), and
the introduction of ZONE_DEVICE + devm_memremap_pages().
Summary:
- Introduce ZONE_DEVICE and devm_memremap_pages() as a generic
mechanism for adding device-driver-discovered memory regions to the
kernel's direct map.
This facility is used by the pmem driver to enable pfn_to_page()
operations on the page frames returned by DAX ('direct_access' in
'struct block_device_operations').
For now, the 'memmap' allocation for these "device" pages comes
from "System RAM". Support for allocating the memmap from device
memory will arrive in a later kernel.
- Introduce memremap() to replace usages of ioremap_cache() and
ioremap_wt(). memremap() drops the __iomem annotation for these
mappings to memory that do not have i/o side effects. The
replacement of ioremap_cache() with memremap() is limited to the
pmem driver to ease merging the api change in v4.3.
Completion of the conversion is targeted for v4.4.
- Similar to the usage of memcpy_to_pmem() + wmb_pmem() in the pmem
driver, update the VFS DAX implementation and PMEM api to provide
persistence guarantees for kernel operations on a DAX mapping.
- Convert the ACPI NFIT 'BLK' driver to map the block apertures as
cacheable to improve performance.
- Miscellaneous updates and fixes to libnvdimm including support for
issuing "address range scrub" commands, clarifying the optimal
'sector size' of pmem devices, a clarification of the usage of the
ACPI '_STA' (status) property for DIMM devices, and other minor
fixes"

Pull core block updates from Jens Axboe:
"This first core part of the block IO changes contains:
- Cleanup of the bio IO error signaling from Christoph. We used to
rely on the uptodate bit and passing around of an error, now we
store the error in the bio itself.
- Improvement of the above from myself, by shrinking the bio size
down again to fit in two cachelines on x86-64.
- Revert of the max_hw_sectors cap removal from a revision again,
from Jeff Moyer. This caused performance regressions in various
tests. Reinstate the limit, bump it to a more reasonable size
instead.
- Make /sys/block/<dev>/queue/discard_max_bytes writeable, by me.
Most devices have huge trim limits, which can cause nasty latencies
when deleting files. Enable the admin to configure the size down.
We will look into having a more sane default instead of UINT_MAX
sectors.
- Improvement of the SGP gaps logic from Keith Busch.
- Enable the block core to handle arbitrarily sized bios, which
enables a nice simplification of bio_add_page() (which is an IO hot
path). From Kent.
- Improvements to the partition io stats accounting, making it

The expectation is that the legacy / non-standard pmem discovery method
(e820 type-12) will only ever be used to describe small quantities of
persistent memory. Larger capacities will be described via the ACPI
NFIT. When "allocate struct page from pmem" support is added this default
policy can be overridden by assigning a legacy pmem namespace to a pfn
device, however this would be only be necessary if a platform used the
legacy mechanism to define a very large range.

Enable the pmem driver to handle PFN device instances. Attaching a pmem
namespace to a pfn device triggers the driver to allocate and initialize
struct page entries for pmem. Memory capacity for this allocation comes
exclusively from RAM for now which is suitable for low PMEM to RAM
ratios. This mechanism will be expanded later for setting an "allocate
from PMEM" policy.

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.
As the namespace claiming mechanism for PFN devices is mostly identical
to BTT devices drivers/nvdimm/claim.c is created to house the common
bits.

Given that a write-back (WB) mapping plus non-temporal stores is
expected to be the most efficient way to access PMEM, update the
definition of ARCH_HAS_PMEM_API to imply arch support for
WB-mapped-PMEM. This is needed as a pre-requisite for adding PMEM to
the direct map and mapping it with struct page.
The above clarification for X86_64 means that memcpy_to_pmem() is
permitted to use the non-temporal arch_memcpy_to_pmem() rather than
needlessly fall back to default_memcpy_to_pmem() when the pcommit
instruction is not available. When arch_memcpy_to_pmem() is not
guaranteed to flush writes out of cache, i.e. on older X86_32
implementations where non-temporal stores may just dirty cache,
ARCH_HAS_PMEM_API is simply disabled.
The default fall back for persistent memory handling remains. Namely,
map it with the WT (write-through) cache-type and hope for the best.
arch_has_pmem_api() is updated to only indicate whether the arch
provides the proper helpers to meet the minimum "writes are visible
outside the cache hierarchy after memcpy_to_pmem() + wmb_pmem()". Code
that cares whether wmb_pmem() actually flushes writes to pmem must now
call arch_has_wmb_pmem() directly.

We currently register a platform device for e820 type-12 memory and
register a nvdimm bus beneath it. Registering the platform device
triggers the device-core machinery to probe for a driver, but that
search currently comes up empty. Building the nvdimm-bus registration
into the e820_pmem platform device registration in this way forces
libnvdimm to be built-in. Instead, convert the built-in portion of
CONFIG_X86_PMEM_LEGACY to simply register a platform device and move the
rest of the logic to the driver for e820_pmem, for the following
reasons:
1/ Letting e820_pmem support be a module allows building and testing
libnvdimm.ko changes without rebooting
2/ All the normal policy around modules can be applied to e820_pmem
(unbind to disable and/or blacklisting the module from loading by
default)
3/ Moving the driver to a generic location and converting it to scan
"iomem_resource" rather than "e820.map" means any other architecture can
take advantage of this simple nvdimm resource discovery mechanism by
registering a resource named "Persistent Memory (legacy)"

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.

Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO:
(1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag
(2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback
The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible
error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent
when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent
bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms
available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors
and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of
them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds
of error returns.
So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct
bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

A new BLK namespace "seed" device is created whenever the current seed
is successfully probed. However, if that namespace is assigned to a BTT
it may never directly experience a successful probe as it is a
subordinate device to a BTT configuration.
The effect of the current code is that no new namespaces can be
instantiated, after the seed namespace, to consume available BLK DPA
capacity. Fix this by treating a successful BTT probe event as a
successful probe event for the backing namespace.

Based on an original patch by Ross Zwisler [1].
Writes to persistent memory have the potential to be posted to cpu
cache, cpu write buffers, and platform write buffers (memory controller)
before being committed to persistent media. Provide apis,
memcpy_to_pmem(), wmb_pmem(), and memremap_pmem(), to write data to
pmem and assert that it is durable in PMEM (a persistent linear address
range). A '__pmem' attribute is added so sparse can track proper usage
of pointers to pmem.
This continues the status quo of pmem being x86 only for 4.2, but
reworks to ioremap, and wider implementation of memremap() will enable
other archs in 4.3.

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.

ACPI NFIT table has System Physical Address Range Structure entries that
describe a proximity ID of each range when ACPI_NFIT_PROXIMITY_VALID is
set in the flags.
Change acpi_nfit_register_region() to map a proximity ID to its node ID,
and set it to a new numa_node field of nd_region_desc, which is then
conveyed to the nd_region device.
The device core arranges for btt and namespace devices to inherit their
node from their parent region.

Upon detection of an unarmed dimm in a region, arrange for descendant
BTT, PMEM, or BLK instances to be read-only. A dimm is primarily marked
"unarmed" via flags passed by platform firmware (NFIT).
The flags in the NFIT memory device sub-structure indicate the state of
the data on the nvdimm relative to its energy source or last "flush to
persistence". For the most part there is nothing the driver can do but
advertise the state of these flags in sysfs and emit a message if
firmware indicates that the contents of the device may be corrupted.
However, for the case of ACPI_NFIT_MEM_ARMED, the driver can arrange for
the block devices incorporating that nvdimm to be marked read-only.
This is a safe default as the data is still available and new writes are
held off until the administrator either forces read-write mode, or the
energy source becomes armed.
A 'read_only' attribute is added to REGION devices to allow for
overriding the default read-only policy of all descendant block devices.

Various cleanups:
1/ Kill the BUG_ON since we've already told the block layer we don't
support DISCARD on all these drivers.
2/ Kill the 'rw' variable, no need to cache it.
3/ Kill the local 'sector' variable. bio_for_each_segment() is already
advancing the iterator's sector number by the bio_vec length.
4/ Kill the check for accessing past the end of device
generic_make_request_checks() already does that.

Support multiple block sizes (sector + metadata) for nd_blk in the
same way as done for the BTT. Add the idea of an 'internal' lbasize,
which is properly aligned and padded, and store metadata in this space.

Support multiple block sizes (sector + metadata) using the blk integrity
framework. This registers a new integrity template that defines the
protection information tuple size based on the configured metadata size,
and simply acts as a passthrough for protection information generated by
another layer. The metadata is written to the storage as-is, and read back
with each sector.

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.

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.

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.

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.
