libnvdimm, dimm: handle EACCES failures from label reads

2018-04-24T07:43:10+00:00

commit e7c5a571a8d6a266aee9ca3f3f26e5afe3717eca upstream. The new support for the standard _LSR and _LSW methods neglected to also update the nvdimm_init_config_data() and nvdimm_set_config_data() to return the translated error code from failed commands. This precision is necessary because the locked status that was previously returned on ND_CMD_GET_CONFIG_SIZE commands is now returned on ND_CMD_{GET,SET}_CONFIG_DATA commands. If the kernel misses this indication it can inadvertently fall back to label-less mode when it should otherwise avoid all access to locked regions.

libnvdimm: introduce 'flags' attribute for DIMM 'lock' and 'alias' status

2017-10-07T17:04:06+00:00

Given that we now how have two mechanisms for a DIMM to indicate that it is locked: * NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL 'get_config_size' _DSM command * ACPI 6.2 Label Storage Read / Write commands ...export the generic libnvdimm DIMM status in a new 'flags' attribute. This attribute can also reflect the 'alias' state which indicates whether the nvdimm core is enforcing labels for aliased-region-capacity that the given dimm is an interleave-set member.

libnvdimm, dimm: clear 'locked' status on successful DIMM enable

2017-09-28T16:10:14+00:00

If we successfully enable a DIMM then it must not be locked and we can clear the label-read failure condition. Otherwise, we need to reload the entire bus provider driver to achieve the same effect, and that can disrupt unrelated DIMMs and namespaces.

libnvdimm, nfit: enable support for volatile ranges

2017-06-27T23:44:13+00:00

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.

x86, libnvdimm, pmem: remove global pmem api

2017-06-27T23:29:54+00:00

Now that all callers of the pmem api have been converted to dax helpers that call back to the pmem driver, we can remove include/linux/pmem.h and asm/pmem.h.

treewide: use kv[mz]alloc* rather than opencoded variants

2017-05-09T00:15:13+00:00

There are many code paths opencoding kvmalloc. Let's use the helper instead. The main difference to kvmalloc is that those users are usually not considering all the aspects of the memory allocator. E.g. allocation requests <= 32kB (with 4kB pages) are basically never failing and invoke OOM killer to satisfy the allocation. This sounds too disruptive for something that has a reasonable fallback - the vmalloc. On the other hand those requests might fallback to vmalloc even when the memory allocator would succeed after several more reclaim/compaction attempts previously. There is no guarantee something like that happens though. This patch converts many of those places to kv[mz]alloc* helpers because they are more conservative.

libnvdimm: handle locked label storage areas

2017-05-04T22:41:39+00:00

Per the latest version of the "NVDIMM DSM Interface Example" [1], the label data retrieval routine can report a "locked" status. In this case all regions associated with that DIMM are disabled until the label area is unlocked. Provide generic libnvdimm enabling for NVDIMMs with label data area locking capabilities.

libnvdimm: convert NDD_ flags to use bitops, introduce NDD_LOCKED

2017-05-04T21:01:24+00:00

This is a preparation patch for handling locked nvdimm label regions, a new concept as introduced by the latest DSM document on pmem.io [1]. A future patch will leverage nvdimm_set_locked() at DIMM probe time to flag regions that can not be enabled. There should be no functional difference resulting from this change.

libnvdimm: fix blk free space accounting

2017-04-04T22:08:36+00:00

Commit a1f3e4d6a0c3 "libnvdimm, region: update nd_region_available_dpa() for multi-pmem support" reworked blk dpa (DIMM Physical Address) accounting to comprehend multiple pmem namespace allocations aliasing with a given blk-dpa range. The following call trace is a result of failing to account for allocated blk capacity. WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 2433 at tools/testing/nvdimm/../../../drivers/nvdimm/names 4 size_store+0x6f3/0x930 [libnvdimm] nd_region region5: allocation underrun: 0x0 of 0x1000000 bytes [..] Call Trace: dump_stack+0x86/0xc3 __warn+0xcb/0xf0 warn_slowpath_fmt+0x5f/0x80 size_store+0x6f3/0x930 [libnvdimm] dev_attr_store+0x18/0x30 If a given blk-dpa allocation does not alias with any pmem ranges then the full allocation should be accounted as busy space, not the size of the current pmem contribution to the region. The thinkos that led to this confusion was not realizing that the struct resource management is already guaranteeing no collisions between pmem allocations and blk allocations on the same dimm. Also, we do not try to support blk allocations in aliased pmem holes. This patch also fixes a case where the available blk goes negative.

libnvdimm: allow a platform to force enable label support

2016-10-19T15:57:33+00:00

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.
