Commit 6e9f05dc66f9 ("libnvdimm/pfn_dev: increase MAX_STRUCT_PAGE_SIZE")

...updated MAX_STRUCT_PAGE_SIZE to account for sizeof(struct page)
potentially doubling in the case of CONFIG_KMSAN=y. Unfortunately this
doubles the amount of capacity stolen from user addressable capacity for
everyone, regardless of whether they are using the debug option. Revert
that change, mandate that MAX_STRUCT_PAGE_SIZE never exceed 64, but
allow for debug scenarios to proceed with creating debug sized page maps
with a compile option to support debug scenarios.

Note that this only applies to cases where the page map is permanent,
i.e. stored in a reservation of the pmem itself ("--map=dev" in "ndctl
create-namespace" terms). For the "--map=mem" case, since the allocation
is ephemeral for the lifespan of the namespace, there are no explicit
restriction. However, the implicit restriction, of having enough
available "System RAM" to store the page map for the typically large
pmem, still applies.

KMSAN adds extra metadata fields to struct page, so it does not fit into
64 bytes anymore.

This change leads to increased memory consumption of the nvdimm driver,
regardless of whether the kernel is built with KMSAN or not.

Now that all NVDIMM subsystem locking is validated with custom lock
classes, there is no need for the custom usage of the lockdep_mutex.

<content type='text'>
In response to an attempt to expand dev-&gt;lockdep_mutex for device_lock()
validation [1], Peter points out [2] that the lockdep API already has
the ability to assign a dedicated lock class per subsystem device-type.

Use lockdep_set_class() to override the default device_lock()
'__lockdep_no_validate__' class for each NVDIMM subsystem device-type. This
enables lockdep to detect deadlocks and recursive locking within the
device-driver core and the subsystem.

There is no good reason to keep genhd.h separate from the main blkdev.h
header that includes it.  So fold the contents of genhd.h into blkdev.h
and remove genhd.h entirely.

<title>libnvdimm/labels: Add uuid helpers</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d1c6e08e7503649e4a4f3f9e700e2c05300b6379</id>
<content type='text'>
In preparation for CXL labels that move the uuid to a different offset
in the label, add nsl_{ref,get,validate}_uuid(). These helpers use the
proper uuid_t type. That type definition predated the libnvdimm
subsystem, so now is as a good a time as any to convert all the uuid
handling in the subsystem to uuid_t to match the helpers.

Note that the uuid fields in the label data and superblocks is not
replaced per Andy's expectation that uuid_t is a kernel internal type
not to appear in external ABI interfaces. So, in those case
{import,export}_uuid() is used to go between the 2 types.

Also note that this rework uncovered some unnecessary copies for label
comparisons, those are cleaned up with nsl_uuid_equal().

As for the whitespace changes, all new code is clang-format compliant.

In support of device-dax growing the ability to front physically
dis-contiguous ranges of memory, update devm_memremap_pages() to track
multiple ranges with a single reference counter and devm instance.

Convert all [devm_]memremap_pages() users to specify the number of ranges
they are mapping in their 'struct dev_pagemap' instance.

<id>urn:sha1:a4574f63edc6f76fb46dcd65d3eb4d5a8e23ba38</id>
<content type='text'>
The 'struct resource' in 'struct dev_pagemap' is only used for holding
resource span information.  The other fields, 'name', 'flags', 'desc',
'parent', 'sibling', and 'child' are all unused wasted space.

This is in preparation for introducing a multi-range extension of
devm_memremap_pages().

The bulk of this change is unwinding all the places internal to libnvdimm
that used 'struct resource' unnecessarily, and replacing instances of
'struct dev_pagemap'.res with 'struct dev_pagemap'.range.

P2PDMA had a minor usage of the resource flags field, but only to report
failures with "%pR".  That is replaced with an open coded print of the
range.

The pmem driver on PowerPC crashes with the following signature when
instantiating misaligned namespaces that map their capacity via
memremap_pages().

    BUG: Unable to handle kernel data access at 0xc001000406000000
    Faulting instruction address: 0xc000000000090790
    NIP [c000000000090790] arch_add_memory+0xc0/0x130
    LR [c000000000090744] arch_add_memory+0x74/0x130
    Call Trace:
     arch_add_memory+0x74/0x130 (unreliable)
     memremap_pages+0x74c/0xa30

     pmem_attach_disk+0x188/0x770
     nvdimm_bus_probe+0xd8/0x470

With the assumption that only memremap_pages() has alignment
constraints, enforce memremap_compat_align() for
pmem_should_map_pages(), nd_pfn, and nd_dax cases. This includes
preventing the creation of namespaces where the base address is
misaligned and cases there infoblock padding parameters are invalid.
