Inodes using DAX should only ever have exceptional entries in their page
caches. Make this clear by warning if the iteration in
dax_layout_busy_page() ever sees a non-exceptional entry, and by adding a
comment for the pagevec_release() call which only deals with struct page
pointers.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"This adds a user for the new 'bytes-remaining' updates to
memcpy_mcsafe() that you already received through Ingo via the
x86-dax- for-linus pull.
Not included here, but still targeting this cycle, is support for
handling memory media errors (poison) consumed via userspace dax
mappings.
Summary:
- DAX broke a fundamental assumption of truncate of file mapped
pages. The truncate path assumed that it is safe to disconnect a
pinned page from a file and let the filesystem reclaim the physical
block. With DAX the page is equivalent to the filesystem block.
Introduce dax_layout_busy_page() to enable filesystems to wait for
pinned DAX pages to be released. Without this wait a filesystem
could allocate blocks under active device-DMA to a new file.
- DAX arranges for the block layer to be bypassed and uses
dax_direct_access() + copy_to_iter() to satisfy read(2) calls.
However, the memcpy_mcsafe() facility is available through the pmem
block driver. In order to safely handle media errors, via the DAX
block-layer bypass, introduce copy_to_iter_mcsafe().
- Fix cache management policy relative to the ACPI NFIT Platform
Capabilities Structure to properly elide cache flushes when they
are not necessary. The table indicates whether CPU caches are
power-fail protected. Clarify that a deep flush is always performed
on REQ_{FUA,PREFLUSH} requests"

Use new return type vm_fault_t for fault handler. For now, this is just
documenting that the function returns a VM_FAULT value rather than an
errno. Once all instances are converted, vm_fault_t will become a
distinct type.
commit 1c8f422059ae ("mm: change return type to vm_fault_t")
There was an existing bug inside dax_load_hole() if vm_insert_mixed had
failed to allocate a page table, we'd return VM_FAULT_NOPAGE instead of
VM_FAULT_OOM. With new vmf_insert_mixed() this issue is addressed.
vm_insert_mixed_mkwrite has inefficiency when it returns an error value,
driver has to convert it to vm_fault_t type. With new
vmf_insert_mixed_mkwrite() this limitation will be addressed.

Similar to the ->copy_from_iter() operation, a platform may want to
deploy an architecture or device specific routine for handling reads
from a dax_device like /dev/pmemX. On x86 this routine will point to a
machine check safe version of copy_to_iter(). For now, add the plumbing
to device-mapper and the dax core.

Background:
get_user_pages() in the filesystem pins file backed memory pages for
access by devices performing dma. However, it only pins the memory pages
not the page-to-file offset association. If a file is truncated the
pages are mapped out of the file and dma may continue indefinitely into
a page that is owned by a device driver. This breaks coherency of the
file vs dma, but the assumption is that if userspace wants the
file-space truncated it does not matter what data is inbound from the
device, it is not relevant anymore. The only expectation is that dma can
safely continue while the filesystem reallocates the block(s).
Problem:
This expectation that dma can safely continue while the filesystem
changes the block map is broken by dax. With dax the target dma page
*is* the filesystem block. The model of leaving the page pinned for dma,
but truncating the file block out of the file, means that the filesytem
is free to reallocate a block under active dma to another file and now
the expected data-incoherency situation has turned into active
data-corruption.
Solution:
Defer all filesystem operations (fallocate(), truncate()) on a dax mode
file while any page/block in the file is under active dma. This solution
assumes that dma is transient. Cases where dma operations are known to
not be transient, like RDMA, have been explicitly disabled via
commits like 5f1d43de5416 "IB/core: disable memory registration of
filesystem-dax vmas".
The dax_layout_busy_page() routine is called by filesystems with a lock
held against mm faults (i_mmap_lock) to find pinned / busy dax pages.
The process of looking up a busy page invalidates all mappings
to trigger any subsequent get_user_pages() to block on i_mmap_lock.
The filesystem continues to call dax_layout_busy_page() until it finally
returns no more active pages. This approach assumes that the page
pinning is transient, if that assumption is violated the system would
have likely hung from the uncompleted I/O.

These patches convert files in Documentation/vm to ReST format, add an

There are no contents changes in the documentation, except few spelling
fixes. The relatively large diffstat stems from the indentation and
paragraph wrapping changes.
I've tried to keep the formatting as consistent as possible, but I could

Several users of unmap_mapping_range() would prefer to express their
range in pages rather than bytes. Unfortuately, on a 32-bit kernel, you
have to remember to cast your page number to a 64-bit type before
shifting it, and four places in the current tree didn't remember to do
that. That's a sign of a bad interface.
Conveniently, unmap_mapping_range() actually converts from bytes into
pages, so hoist the guts of unmap_mapping_range() into a new function
unmap_mapping_pages() and convert the callers which want to use pages.

This reverts commits 5c9d2d5c269c, c7da82b894e9, and e7fe7b5cae90.
We'll probably need to revisit this, but basically we should not
complicate the get_user_pages_fast() case, and checking the actual page
table protection key bits will require more care anyway, since the
protection keys depend on the exact state of the VM in question.
Particularly when doing a "remote" page lookup (ie in somebody elses VM,
not your own), you need to be much more careful than this was. Dave
Hansen says:
"So, the underlying bug here is that we now a get_user_pages_remote()
and then go ahead and do the p*_access_permitted() checks against the
current PKRU. This was introduced recently with the addition of the
new p??_access_permitted() calls.
We have checks in the VMA path for the "remote" gups and we avoid
consulting PKRU for them. This got missed in the pkeys selftests
because I did a ptrace read, but not a *write*. I also didn't
explicitly test it against something where a COW needed to be done"
It's also not entirely clear that it makes sense to check the protection
key bits at this level at all. But one possible eventual solution is to
make the get_user_pages_fast() case just abort if it sees protection key
bits set, which makes us fall back to the regular get_user_pages() case,
which then has a vma and can do the check there if we want to.
We'll see.
Somewhat related to this all: what we _do_ want to do some day is to
check the PAGE_USER bit - it should obviously always be set for user
pages, but it would be a good check to have back. Because we have no
generic way to test for it, we lost it as part of moving over from the
architecture-specific x86 GUP implementation to the generic one in
commit e585513b76f7 ("x86/mm/gup: Switch GUP to the generic
get_user_page_fast() implementation").

The 'access_permitted' helper is used in the gup-fast path and goes
beyond the simple _PAGE_RW check to also:
- validate that the mapping is writable from a protection keys
standpoint
- validate that the pte has _PAGE_USER set since all fault paths where
pmd_write is must be referencing user-memory.

Pull libnvdimm and dax updates from Dan Williams:
"Save for a few late fixes, all of these commits have shipped in -next
releases since before the merge window opened, and 0day has given a
build success notification.
The ext4 touches came from Jan, and the xfs touches have Darrick's
reviewed-by. An xfstest for the MAP_SYNC feature has been through
a few round of reviews and is on track to be merged.
- Introduce MAP_SYNC and MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE, a mechanism to enable
'userspace flush' of persistent memory updates via filesystem-dax
mappings. It arranges for any filesystem metadata updates that may
be required to satisfy a write fault to also be flushed ("on disk")
before the kernel returns to userspace from the fault handler.
Effectively every write-fault that dirties metadata completes an
fsync() before returning from the fault handler. The new
MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE mapping type guarantees that the MAP_SYNC flag
is validated as supported by the filesystem's ->mmap() file
operation.
- Add support for the standard ACPI 6.2 label access methods that
replace the NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL (vendor specific) label methods.
This enables interoperability with environments that only implement
the standardized methods.
- Add support for the ACPI 6.2 NVDIMM media error injection methods.
- Add support for the NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL v1.6 DIMM commands for
latch last shutdown status, firmware update, SMART error injection,
and SMART alarm threshold control.
- Cleanup physical address information disclosures to be root-only.
- Fix revalidation of the DIMM "locked label area" status to support
dynamic unlock of the label area.
- Expand unit test infrastructure to mock the ACPI 6.2 Translate SPA

Every pagevec_init user claims the pages being released are hot even in
cases where it is unlikely the pages are hot. As no one cares about the
hotness of pages being released to the allocator, just ditch the
parameter.
No performance impact is expected as the overhead is marginal. The
parameter is removed simply because it is a bit stupid to have a useless
parameter copied everywhere.

During truncation, the mapping has already been checked for shmem and
dax so it's known that workingset_update_node is required.
This patch avoids the checks on mapping for each page being truncated.
In all other cases, a lookup helper is used to determine if
workingset_update_node() needs to be called. The one danger is that the
API is slightly harder to use as calling workingset_update_node directly
without checking for dax or shmem mappings could lead to surprises.
However, the API rarely needs to be used and hopefully the comment is
enough to give people the hint.

workingset_update_node and as it no longer requires a mapping, the
private field is removed.

This patch only affects users of mmu_notifier->invalidate_range callback
which are device drivers related to ATS/PASID, CAPI, IOMMUv2, SVM ...
and it is an optimization for those users. Everyone else is unaffected
by it.
When clearing a pte/pmd we are given a choice to notify the event under
the page table lock (notify version of *_clear_flush helpers do call the
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range). But that notification is not necessary
in all cases.
This patch removes almost all cases where it is useless to have a call
to mmu_notifier_invalidate_range before
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end. It also adds documentation in all
those cases explaining why.
Below is a more in depth analysis of why this is fine to do this:
For secondary TLB (non CPU TLB) like IOMMU TLB or device TLB (when
device use thing like ATS/PASID to get the IOMMU to walk the CPU page
table to access a process virtual address space). There is only 2 cases
when you need to notify those secondary TLB while holding page table
lock when clearing a pte/pmd:
A) page backing address is free before mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end
B) a page table entry is updated to point to a new page (COW, write fault
on zero page, __replace_page(), ...)
Case A is obvious you do not want to take the risk for the device to write
to a page that might now be used by something completely different.
Case B is more subtle. For correctness it requires the following sequence
to happen:
- take page table lock
- clear page table entry and notify (pmd/pte_huge_clear_flush_notify())
- set page table entry to point to new page
If clearing the page table entry is not followed by a notify before setting
the new pte/pmd value then you can break memory model like C11 or C++11 for
the device.
Consider the following scenario (device use a feature similar to ATS/
PASID):
Two address addrA and addrB such that |addrA - addrB| >= PAGE_SIZE we
assume they are write protected for COW (other case of B apply too).
[Time N] -----------------------------------------------------------------
CPU-thread-0 {try to write to addrA}
CPU-thread-1 {try to write to addrB}
CPU-thread-2 {}
CPU-thread-3 {}
DEV-thread-0 {read addrA and populate device TLB}
DEV-thread-2 {read addrB and populate device TLB}
[Time N+1] ---------------------------------------------------------------
CPU-thread-0 {COW_step0: {mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start(addrA)}}
CPU-thread-1 {COW_step0: {mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start(addrB)}}
CPU-thread-2 {}
CPU-thread-3 {}
DEV-thread-0 {}
DEV-thread-2 {}
[Time N+2] ---------------------------------------------------------------
CPU-thread-0 {COW_step1: {update page table point to new page for addrA}}
CPU-thread-1 {COW_step1: {update page table point to new page for addrB}}
CPU-thread-2 {}
CPU-thread-3 {}
DEV-thread-0 {}
DEV-thread-2 {}
[Time N+3] ---------------------------------------------------------------
CPU-thread-0 {preempted}
CPU-thread-1 {preempted}
CPU-thread-2 {write to addrA which is a write to new page}
CPU-thread-3 {}
DEV-thread-0 {}
DEV-thread-2 {}
[Time N+3] ---------------------------------------------------------------
CPU-thread-0 {preempted}
CPU-thread-1 {preempted}
CPU-thread-2 {}
CPU-thread-3 {write to addrB which is a write to new page}
DEV-thread-0 {}
DEV-thread-2 {}
[Time N+4] ---------------------------------------------------------------
CPU-thread-0 {preempted}
CPU-thread-1 {COW_step3: {mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end(addrB)}}
CPU-thread-2 {}
CPU-thread-3 {}
DEV-thread-0 {}
DEV-thread-2 {}
[Time N+5] ---------------------------------------------------------------
CPU-thread-0 {preempted}
CPU-thread-1 {}
CPU-thread-2 {}
CPU-thread-3 {}
DEV-thread-0 {read addrA from old page}
DEV-thread-2 {read addrB from new page}
So here because at time N+2 the clear page table entry was not pair with a
notification to invalidate the secondary TLB, the device see the new value
for addrB before seing the new value for addrA. This break total memory
ordering for the device.
When changing a pte to write protect or to point to a new write protected
page with same content (KSM) it is ok to delay invalidate_range callback
to mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end() outside the page table lock. This
is true even if the thread doing page table update is preempted right
after releasing page table lock before calling
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end
Thanks to Andrea for thinking of a problematic scenario for COW.

PMD faults on a zero length file on a file system mounted with -o dax
will not generate SIGBUS as expected.
fd = open(...O_TRUNC);
addr = mmap(NULL, 2*1024*1024, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
*addr = 'a';
<expect SIGBUS>
The problem is this code in dax_iomap_pmd_fault:
max_pgoff = (i_size_read(inode) - 1) >> PAGE_SHIFT;
If the inode size is zero, we end up with a max_pgoff that is way larger
than 0. :) Fix it by using DIV_ROUND_UP, as is done elsewhere in the
kernel.
I tested this with some simple test code that ensured that SIGBUS was
received where expected.

While reviewing whether MAP_SYNC should strengthen its current guarantee
of syncing writes from the initiating process to also include
third-party readers observing dirty metadata, Dave pointed out that the
check of IOMAP_WRITE is misplaced.
The policy of what to with IOMAP_F_DIRTY should be separated from the
generic filesystem mechanism of reporting dirty metadata. Move this
policy to the fs-dax core to simplify the per-filesystem iomap handlers,
and further centralize code that implements the MAP_SYNC policy. This
otherwise should not change behavior, it just makes it easier to change
behavior in the future.

Commit abebfbe2f731 ("dm: add ->flush() dax operation support") is
buggy. A DM device may be composed of multiple underlying devices and
all of them need to be flushed. That commit just routes the flush
request to the first device and ignores the other devices.
It could be fixed by adding more complex logic to the device mapper. But
there is only one implementation of the method pmem_dax_ops->flush - that
is pmem_dax_flush() - and it calls arch_wb_cache_pmem(). Consequently, we
don't need the pmem_dax_ops->flush abstraction at all, we can call
arch_wb_cache_pmem() directly from dax_flush() because dax_dev->ops->flush
can't ever reach anything different from arch_wb_cache_pmem().
It should be also pointed out that for some uses of persistent memory it
is needed to flush only a very small amount of data (such as 1 cacheline),
and it would be overkill if we go through that device mapper machinery for
a single flushed cache line.
Fix this by removing the pmem_dax_ops->flush abstraction and call
arch_wb_cache_pmem() directly from dax_flush(). Also, remove the device
mapper code that forwards the flushes.

When servicing mmap() reads from file holes the current DAX code
allocates a page cache page of all zeroes and places the struct page
pointer in the mapping->page_tree radix tree.
This has three major drawbacks:
1) It consumes memory unnecessarily. For every 4k page that is read via
a DAX mmap() over a hole, we allocate a new page cache page. This
means that if you read 1GiB worth of pages, you end up using 1GiB of
zeroed memory. This is easily visible by looking at the overall
memory consumption of the system or by looking at /proc/[pid]/smaps:
7f62e72b3000-7f63272b3000 rw-s 00000000 103:00 12 /root/dax/data

Shared_Hugetlb: 0 kB
Private_Hugetlb: 0 kB
Swap: 0 kB
SwapPss: 0 kB
KernelPageSize: 4 kB
MMUPageSize: 4 kB
Locked: 0 kB
2) It is slower than using a common zero page because each page fault
has more work to do. Instead of just inserting a common zero page we
have to allocate a page cache page, zero it, and then insert it. Here
are the average latencies of dax_load_hole() as measured by ftrace on
a random test box:
Old method, using zeroed page cache pages: 3.4 us
New method, using the common 4k zero page: 0.8 us
This was the average latency over 1 GiB of sequential reads done by
this simple fio script:
[global]
size=1G
filename=/root/dax/data
fallocate=none
[io]
rw=read
ioengine=mmap
3) The fact that we had to check for both DAX exceptional entries and
for page cache pages in the radix tree made the DAX code more
complex.
Solve these issues by following the lead of the DAX PMD code and using a
common 4k zero page instead. As with the PMD code we will now insert a
DAX exceptional entry into the radix tree instead of a struct page
pointer which allows us to remove all the special casing in the DAX
code.
Note that we do still pretty aggressively check for regular pages in the
DAX radix tree, especially where we take action based on the bits set in
the page. If we ever find a regular page in our radix tree now that
most likely means that someone besides DAX is inserting pages (which has
happened lots of times in the past), and we want to find that out early
and fail loudly.
This solution also removes the extra memory consumption. Here is that
same /proc/[pid]/smaps after 1GiB of reading from a hole with the new
code:
7f2054a74000-7f2094a74000 rw-s 00000000 103:00 12 /root/dax/data

Private_Hugetlb: 0 kB
Swap: 0 kB
SwapPss: 0 kB
KernelPageSize: 4 kB
MMUPageSize: 4 kB
Locked: 0 kB
Overall system memory consumption is similarly improved.
Another major change is that we remove dax_pfn_mkwrite() from our fault
flow, and instead rely on the page fault itself to make the PTE dirty
and writeable. The following description from the patch adding the
vm_insert_mixed_mkwrite() call explains this a little more:
"To be able to use the common 4k zero page in DAX we need to have our
PTE fault path look more like our PMD fault path where a PTE entry
can be marked as dirty and writeable as it is first inserted rather
than waiting for a follow-up dax_pfn_mkwrite() =>
finish_mkwrite_fault() call.
Right now we can rely on having a dax_pfn_mkwrite() call because we
can distinguish between these two cases in do_wp_page():
case 1: 4k zero page => writable DAX storage
case 2: read-only DAX storage => writeable DAX storage
This distinction is made by via vm_normal_page(). vm_normal_page()
returns false for the common 4k zero page, though, just as it does
for DAX ptes. Instead of special casing the DAX + 4k zero page case
we will simplify our DAX PTE page fault sequence so that it matches
our DAX PMD sequence, and get rid of the dax_pfn_mkwrite() helper.
We will instead use dax_iomap_fault() to handle write-protection
faults.
This means that insert_pfn() needs to follow the lead of
insert_pfn_pmd() and allow us to pass in a 'mkwrite' flag. If
'mkwrite' is set insert_pfn() will do the work that was previously
done by wp_page_reuse() as part of the dax_pfn_mkwrite() call path"

dax_load_hole() will soon need to call dax_insert_mapping_entry(), so it
needs to be moved lower in dax.c so the definition exists.
dax_wake_mapping_entry_waiter() will soon be removed from dax.h and be
made static to dax.c, so we need to move its definition above all its
callers.

Replace all mmu_notifier_invalidate_page() calls by *_invalidate_range()
and make sure it is bracketed by calls to *_invalidate_range_start()/end().
Note that because we can not presume the pmd value or pte value we have
to assume the worst and unconditionaly report an invalidation as
happening.

In DAX there are two separate places where the 2MiB range of a PMD is
defined.
The first is in the page tables, where a PMD mapping inserted for a
given address spans from (vmf->address & PMD_MASK) to ((vmf->address &
PMD_MASK) + PMD_SIZE - 1). That is, from the 2MiB boundary below the
address to the 2MiB boundary above the address.
So, for example, a fault at address 3MiB (0x30 0000) falls within the
PMD that ranges from 2MiB (0x20 0000) to 4MiB (0x40 0000).
The second PMD range is in the mapping->page_tree, where a given file
offset is covered by a radix tree entry that spans from one 2MiB aligned
file offset to another 2MiB aligned file offset.
So, for example, the file offset for 3MiB (pgoff 768) falls within the
PMD range for the order 9 radix tree entry that ranges from 2MiB (pgoff
512) to 4MiB (pgoff 1024).
This system works so long as the addresses and file offsets for a given
mapping both have the same offsets relative to the start of each PMD.
Consider the case where the starting address for a given file isn't 2MiB
aligned - say our faulting address is 3 MiB (0x30 0000), but that
corresponds to the beginning of our file (pgoff 0). Now all the PMDs in
the mapping are misaligned so that the 2MiB range defined in the page
tables never matches up with the 2MiB range defined in the radix tree.
The current code notices this case for DAX faults to storage with the
following test in dax_pmd_insert_mapping():
if (pfn_t_to_pfn(pfn) & PG_PMD_COLOUR)
goto unlock_fallback;
This test makes sure that the pfn we get from the driver is 2MiB
aligned, and relies on the assumption that the 2MiB alignment of the pfn
we get back from the driver matches the 2MiB alignment of the faulting
address.
However, faults to holes were not checked and we could hit the problem
described above.
This was reported in response to the NVML nvml/src/test/pmempool_sync
TEST5:
$ cd nvml/src/test/pmempool_sync
$ make TEST5
You can grab NVML here:
https://github.com/pmem/nvml/
The dmesg warning you see when you hit this error is:
WARNING: CPU: 13 PID: 2900 at fs/dax.c:641 dax_insert_mapping_entry+0x2df/0x310
Where we notice in dax_insert_mapping_entry() that the radix tree entry
we are about to replace doesn't match the locked entry that we had
previously inserted into the tree. This happens because the initial
insertion was done in grab_mapping_entry() using a pgoff calculated from
the faulting address (vmf->address), and the replacement in
dax_pmd_load_hole() => dax_insert_mapping_entry() is done using
vmf->pgoff.
In our failure case those two page offsets (one calculated from
vmf->address, one using vmf->pgoff) point to different order 9 radix
tree entries.
This failure case can result in a deadlock because the radix tree unlock
also happens on the pgoff calculated from vmf->address. This means that
the locked radix tree entry that we swapped in to the tree in
dax_insert_mapping_entry() using vmf->pgoff is never unlocked, so all
future faults to that 2MiB range will block forever.
Fix this by validating that the faulting address's PMD offset matches
the PMD offset from the start of the file. This check is done at the
very beginning of the fault and covers faults that would have mapped to
storage as well as faults to holes. I left the COLOUR check in
dax_pmd_insert_mapping() in place in case we ever hit the insanity
condition where the alignment of the pfn we get from the driver doesn't
match the alignment of the userspace address.

Pull Writeback error handling updates from Jeff Layton:
"This pile represents the bulk of the writeback error handling fixes
that I have for this cycle. Some of the earlier patches in this pile
may look trivial but they are prerequisites for later patches in the
series.
The aim of this set is to improve how we track and report writeback
errors to userland. Most applications that care about data integrity
will periodically call fsync/fdatasync/msync to ensure that their
writes have made it to the backing store.
For a very long time, we have tracked writeback errors using two flags
in the address_space: AS_EIO and AS_ENOSPC. Those flags are set when a
writeback error occurs (via mapping_set_error) and are cleared as a
side-effect of filemap_check_errors (as you noted yesterday). This
model really sucks for userland.
Only the first task to call fsync (or msync or fdatasync) will see the
error. Any subsequent task calling fsync on a file will get back 0
(unless another writeback error occurs in the interim). If I have
several tasks writing to a file and calling fsync to ensure that their
writes got stored, then I need to have them coordinate with one
another. That's difficult enough, but in a world of containerized
setups that coordination may even not be possible.
But wait...it gets worse!
The calls to filemap_check_errors can be buried pretty far down in the
call stack, and there are internal callers of filemap_write_and_wait
and the like that also end up clearing those errors. Many of those
callers ignore the error return from that function or return it to
userland at nonsensical times (e.g. truncate() or stat()). If I get
back -EIO on a truncate, there is no reason to think that it was
because some previous writeback failed, and a subsequent fsync() will
(incorrectly) return 0.
This pile aims to do three things:
1) ensure that when a writeback error occurs that that error will be
reported to userland on a subsequent fsync/fdatasync/msync call,
regardless of what internal callers are doing
2) report writeback errors on all file descriptions that were open at
the time that the error occurred. This is a user-visible change,
but I think most applications are written to assume this behavior
anyway. Those that aren't are unlikely to be hurt by it.
3) document what filesystems should do when there is a writeback
error. Today, there is very little consistency between them, and a
lot of cargo-cult copying. We need to make it very clear what
filesystems should do in this situation.
To achieve this, the set adds a new data type (errseq_t) and then
builds new writeback error tracking infrastructure around that. Once
all of that is in place, we change the filesystems to use the new
infrastructure for reporting wb errors to userland.
Note that this is just the initial foray into cleaning up this mess.
There is a lot of work remaining here:
1) convert the rest of the filesystems in a similar fashion. Once the
initial set is in, then I think most other fs' will be fairly
simple to convert. Hopefully most of those can in via individual
filesystem trees.
2) convert internal waiters on writeback to use errseq_t for
detecting errors instead of relying on the AS_* flags. I have some
draft patches for this for ext4, but they are not quite ready for
prime time yet.
This was a discussion topic this year at LSF/MM too. If you're
interested in the gory details, LWN has some good articles about this:

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"libnvdimm updates for the latest ACPI and UEFI specifications. This
pull request also includes new 'struct dax_operations' enabling to
undo the abuse of copy_user_nocache() for copy operations to pmem.
The dax work originally missed 4.12 to address concerns raised by Al.
Summary:
- Introduce the _flushcache() family of memory copy helpers and use
them for persistent memory write operations on x86. The
_flushcache() semantic indicates that the cache is either bypassed
for the copy operation (movnt) or any lines dirtied by the copy
operation are written back (clwb, clflushopt, or clflush).
- Extend dax_operations with ->copy_from_iter() and ->flush()
operations. These operations and other infrastructure updates allow
all persistent memory specific dax functionality to be pushed into
libnvdimm and the pmem driver directly. It also allows dax-specific
sysfs attributes to be linked to a host device, for example:
/sys/block/pmem0/dax/write_cache
- Add support for the new NVDIMM platform/firmware mechanisms
introduced in ACPI 6.2 and UEFI 2.7. This support includes the v1.2
namespace label format, extensions to the address-range-scrub
command set, new error injection commands, and a new BTT
(block-translation-table) layout. These updates support inter-OS
and pre-OS compatibility.
- Fix a longstanding memory corruption bug in nfit_test.
- Make the pmem and nvdimm-region 'badblocks' sysfs files poll(2)
capable.
- Miscellaneous fixes and small updates across libnvdimm and the nfit
driver.
