Revert "libnvdimm, of_pmem: workaround OF_NUMA=n build error"

2018-04-19T22:10:56+00:00

With commit df3f126482db ("libnvdimm, of_pmem: use dev_to_node() instead of of_node_to_nid()") it is now possible to allow of_pmem to be built as a module as originally implemented. Signed-off-by: Dan Williams

libnvdimm, of_pmem: use dev_to_node() instead of of_node_to_nid()

2018-04-19T22:07:10+00:00

Remove the direct dependency on of_node_to_nid() by using dev_to_node() instead. Any DT platform device will have its NUMA node id set when the device is created. With this, commit 291717b6fbdb ("libnvdimm, of_pmem: workaround OF_NUMA=n build error") can be reverted.

libnvdimm, dimm: handle EACCES failures from label reads

2018-04-16T15:18:51+00:00

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.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams: "This cycle was was not something I ever want to repeat as there were several late changes that have only now just settled. Half of the branch up to commit d2c997c0f145 ("fs, dax: use page->mapping to warn...") have been in -next for several releases. The of_pmem driver and the address range scrub rework were late arrivals, and the dax work was scaled back at the last moment. The of_pmem driver missed a previous merge window due to an oversight. A sense of obligation to rectify that miss is why it is included for 4.17. It has acks from PowerPC folks. Stephen reported a build failure that only occurs when merging it with your latest tree, for now I have fixed that up by disabling modular builds of of_pmem. A test merge with your tree has received a build success report from the 0day robot over 156 configs. An initial version of the ARS rework was submitted before the merge window. It is self contained to libnvdimm, a net code reduction, and passing all unit tests. The filesystem-dax changes are based on the wait_var_event() functionality from tip/sched/core. However, late review feedback showed that those changes regressed truncate performance to a large degree. The branch was rewound to drop the truncate behavior change and now only includes preparation patches and cleanups (with full acks and reviews). The finalization of this dax-dma-vs-trnucate work will need to wait for 4.18. Summary: - A rework of the filesytem-dax implementation provides for detection of unmap operations (truncate / hole punch) colliding with in-progress device-DMA. A fix for these collisions remains a work-in-progress pending resolution of truncate latency and starvation regressions. - The of_pmem driver expands the users of libnvdimm outside of x86 and ACPI to describe an implementation of persistent memory on PowerPC with Open Firmware / Device tree. - Address Range Scrub (ARS) handling is completely rewritten to account for the fact that ARS may run for 100s of seconds and there is no platform defined way to cancel it. ARS will now no longer block namespace initialization. - The NVDIMM Namespace Label implementation is updated to handle label areas as small as 1K, down from 128K. - Miscellaneous cleanups and updates to unit test infrastructure" * tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: (39 commits) libnvdimm, of_pmem: workaround OF_NUMA=n build error nfit, address-range-scrub: add module option to skip initial ars nfit, address-range-scrub: rework and simplify ARS state machine nfit, address-range-scrub: determine one platform max_ars value powerpc/powernv: Create platform devs for nvdimm buses doc/devicetree: Persistent memory region bindings libnvdimm: Add device-tree based driver libnvdimm: Add of_node to region and bus descriptors libnvdimm, region: quiet region probe libnvdimm, namespace: use a safe lookup for dimm device name libnvdimm, dimm: fix dpa reservation vs uninitialized label area libnvdimm, testing: update the default smart ctrl_temperature libnvdimm, testing: Add emulation for smart injection commands nfit, address-range-scrub: introduce nfit_spa->ars_state libnvdimm: add an api to cast a 'struct nd_region' to its 'struct device' nfit, address-range-scrub: fix scrub in-progress reporting dax, dm: allow device-mapper to operate without dax support dax: introduce CONFIG_DAX_DRIVER fs, dax: use page->mapping to warn if truncate collides with a busy page ext2, dax: introduce ext2_dax_aops ...

libnvdimm, of_pmem: workaround OF_NUMA=n build error

2018-04-09T16:10:22+00:00

Stephen reports that an x86 allmodconfig build fails to build the of_pmem driver due to a missing definition of of_node_to_nid(). That helper is currently only exported in the OF_NUMA=y case. In other cases, ppc and sparc, it is a weak symbol, and outside of those platforms it is a static inline. Until an OF_NUMA=n configuration can reliably support usage of of_node_to_nid() in modules across architectures, mark this driver as 'bool' instead of 'tristate'.

libnvdimm: Add device-tree based driver

2018-04-07T14:53:23+00:00

This patch adds peliminary device-tree bindings for persistent memory regions. The driver registers a libnvdimm bus for each pmem-region node and each address range under the node is converted to a region within that bus. Signed-off-by: Oliver O'Halloran Signed-off-by: Dan Williams

libnvdimm: Add of_node to region and bus descriptors

2018-04-07T14:53:23+00:00

We want to be able to cross reference the region and bus devices with the device tree node that they were spawned from. libNVDIMM handles creating the actual devices for these internally, so we need to pass in a pointer to the relevant node in the descriptor.

2018-04-07T14:47:10+00:00

The message about constraining number of online cpus to be less than or equal to ND_MAX_LANES (256) is only useful for block-aperture configurations and BTT. Make it debug since it is only relevant when debugging performance. Signed-off-by: Dan Williams
