cxl/pmem: Fix nvdimm registration races

2023-02-14T01:01:05+00:00

A loop of the form: while true; do modprobe cxl_pci; modprobe -r cxl_pci; done ...fails with the following crash signature: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000040 [..] RIP: 0010:cxl_internal_send_cmd+0x5/0xb0 [cxl_core] [..] Call Trace: cxl_pmem_ctl+0x121/0x240 [cxl_pmem] nvdimm_get_config_data+0xd6/0x1a0 [libnvdimm] nd_label_data_init+0x135/0x7e0 [libnvdimm] nvdimm_probe+0xd6/0x1c0 [libnvdimm] nvdimm_bus_probe+0x7a/0x1e0 [libnvdimm] really_probe+0xde/0x380 __driver_probe_device+0x78/0x170 driver_probe_device+0x1f/0x90 __device_attach_driver+0x85/0x110 bus_for_each_drv+0x7d/0xc0 __device_attach+0xb4/0x1e0 bus_probe_device+0x9f/0xc0 device_add+0x445/0x9c0 nd_async_device_register+0xe/0x40 [libnvdimm] async_run_entry_fn+0x30/0x130 ...namely that the bottom half of async nvdimm device registration runs after the CXL has already torn down the context that cxl_pmem_ctl() needs. Unlike the ACPI NFIT case that benefits from launching multiple nvdimm device registrations in parallel from those listed in the table, CXL is already marked PROBE_PREFER_ASYNCHRONOUS. So provide for a synchronous registration path to preclude this scenario.

nvdimm/region: Move cache management to the region driver

2022-12-03T07:52:32+00:00

Now that cpu_cache_invalidate_memregion() is generically available, use it to centralize CPU cache management in the nvdimm region driver. This trades off removing redundant per-dimm CPU cache flushing with an opportunistic flush on every region disable event to cover the case of sensitive dirty data in the cache being written back to media after a secure erase / overwrite event.

nvdimm/cxl/pmem: Add support for master passphrase disable security command

2022-12-01T20:42:35+00:00

The original nvdimm_security_ops ->disable() only supports user passphrase for security disable. The CXL spec introduced the disabling of master passphrase. Add a ->disable_master() callback to support this new operation and leaving the old ->disable() mechanism alone. A "disable_master" command is added for the sysfs attribute in order to allow command to be issued from userspace. ndctl will need enabling in order to utilize this new operation.

cxl/region: Introduce cxl_pmem_region objects

2022-07-26T19:23:01+00:00

The LIBNVDIMM subsystem is a platform agnostic representation of system NVDIMM / persistent memory resources. To date, the CXL subsystem's interaction with LIBNVDIMM has been to register an nvdimm-bridge device and cxl_nvdimm objects to proxy CXL capabilities into existing LIBNVDIMM subsystem mechanics. With regions the approach is the same. Create a new cxl_pmem_region object to proxy CXL region details into a LIBNVDIMM definition. With this enabling LIBNVDIMM can partition CXL persistent memory regions with legacy namespace labels. A follow-on patch will add CXL region label and CXL namespace label support to persist region configurations across driver reload / system-reset events.

libnvdimm: Export nvdimm shutdown helper, nvdimm_delete()

2021-06-15T23:47:22+00:00

CXL is a hotplug bus and arranges for nvdimm devices to be dynamically discovered and removed. The libnvdimm core manages shutdown of nvdimm security operations when the device is unregistered. That functionality is moved to nvdimm_delete() and invoked by the CXL-to-nvdimm glue code.

ACPI: NFIT: Add runtime firmware activate support

2020-07-29T01:29:22+00:00

Plumb the platform specific backend for the generic libnvdimm firmware activate interface. Register dimm level operations to arm/disarm activation, and register bus level operations to report the dynamic platform-quiesce time relative to the number of dimms armed for firmware activation. A new nfit-specific bus attribute "firmware_activate_noidle" is added to allow the activation to switch between platform enforced, and OS opportunistic device quiesce. In other words, let the hibernate cycle handle in-flight device-dma rather than the platform attempting to increase PCI-E timeouts and the like.

PM, libnvdimm: Add runtime firmware activation support

2020-07-29T01:28:32+00:00

Abstract platform specific mechanics for nvdimm firmware activation behind a handful of generic ops. At the bus level ->activate_state() indicates the unified state (idle, busy, armed) of all DIMMs on the bus, and ->capability() indicates the system state expectations for activate. At the DIMM level ->activate_state() indicates the per-DIMM state, ->activate_result() indicates the outcome of the last activation attempt, and ->arm() attempts to transition the DIMM from 'idle' to 'armed'. A new hibernate_quiet_exec() facility is added to support firmware activation in an OS defined system quiesce state. It leverages the fact that the hibernate-freeze state wants to assert that a memory hibernation snapshot can be taken. This is in contrast to a platform firmware defined quiesce state that may forcefully quiet the memory controller independent of whether an individual device-driver properly supports hibernate-freeze. The libnvdimm sysfs interface is extended to support detection of a firmware activate capability. The mechanism supports enumeration and triggering of firmware activate, optionally in the hibernate_quiet_exec() context.

ACPI: NFIT: Move bus_dsm_mask out of generic nvdimm_bus_descriptor

2020-07-26T01:34:47+00:00

DSMs are strictly an ACPI mechanism, evict the bus_dsm_mask concept from the generic 'struct nvdimm_bus_descriptor' object. As a side effect the test facility ->bus_nfit_cmd_force_en is no longer necessary. The test infrastructure can communicate that information directly in ->bus_dsm_mask.
