* drivers/nvdimm/core.c doesn't use anything from badblocks.h on its own,
thus including it isn't needed. There's indeed indirect use, via funcs
in nd.h, but this one already includes badblocks.h.
* drivers/nvdimm/claim.c calls stuff from badblocks.h and therefore should
include it on its own (instead of relying any other header doing that)
* drivers/nvdimm/btt.h doesn't really need anything from badblocks.h and
can easily live with a forward declaration of struct badblocks (just
having pointers to it, but not dereferencing it anywhere)

The Linux BTT implementation assumes that log entries will never have
the 'zero' flag set, and indeed it never sets that flag for log entries
itself.
However, the UEFI spec is ambiguous on the exact format of the LBA field
of a log entry, specifically as to whether it should include the
additional flag bits or not. While a zero bit doesn't make sense in the
context of a log entry, other BTT implementations might still have it set.
If an implementation does happen to have it set, we would happily read
it in as the next block to write to for writes. Since a high bit is set,
it pushes the block number out of the range of an 'arena', and we fail
such a write with an EIO.
Follow the robustness principle, and tolerate such implementations by
stripping out the zero flag when populating the free list during
initialization. Additionally, use the same stripped out entries for
detection of incomplete writes and map restoration that happens at this
stage.
Add a sysfs file 'log_zero_flags' that indicates the ability to accept
such a layout to userspace applications. This enables 'ndctl
check-namespace' to recognize whether the kernel is able to handle zero
flags, or whether it should attempt a fix-up under the --repair option.

Due to a spec misinterpretation, the Linux implementation of the BTT log
area had different padding scheme from other implementations, such as
UEFI and NVML.
This fixes the padding scheme, and defaults to it for new BTT layouts.
We attempt to detect the padding scheme in use when probing for an
existing BTT. If we detect the older/incompatible scheme, we continue
using it.

Clearing errors or badblocks during a BTT write requires sending an ACPI
DSM, which means potentially sleeping. Since a BTT IO happens in atomic
context (preemption disabled, spinlocks may be held), we cannot perform
error clearing in the course of an IO. Due to this error clearing for
BTT IOs has hitherto been disabled.
In this patch we move error clearing out of the atomic section, and thus
re-enable error clearing with BTTs. When we are about to add a block to
the free list, we check if it was previously marked as an error, and if
it was, we add it to the freelist, but also set a flag that says error
clearing will be required. We then drop the lane (ending the atomic
context), and send a zero buffer so that the error can be cleared. The
error flag in the free list is protected by the nd 'lane', and is set
only be a thread while it holds that lane. When the error is cleared,
the flag is cleared, but while holding a mutex for that freelist index.
When writing, we check for two things -
1/ If the freelist mutex is held or if the error flag is set. If so,
this is an error block that is being (or about to be) cleared.
2/ If the block is a known badblock based on nsio->bb
The second check is required because the BTT map error flag for a map
entry only gets set when an error LBA is read. If we write to a new
location that may not have the map error flag set, but still might be in
the region's badblock list, we can trigger an EIO on the write, which is
undesirable and completely avoidable.

Use arena_is_valid as a common routine for checking the validity of an
info block from both discover_arenas, and nd_btt_probe.
As a result, don't check for validity of the BTT's UUID, and lbasize.
The checksum in the BTT info block guarantees self-consistency, and when
we're called from nd_btt_probe, we don't have a valid uuid or lbasize
available to check against.
Also cleanup to return a bool instead of an int.

Support multiple block sizes (sector + metadata) using the blk integrity
framework. This registers a new integrity template that defines the
protection information tuple size based on the configured metadata size,
and simply acts as a passthrough for protection information generated by
another layer. The metadata is written to the storage as-is, and read back
with each sector.

BTT stands for Block Translation Table, and is a way to provide power
fail sector atomicity semantics for block devices that have the ability
to perform byte granularity IO. It relies on the capability of libnvdimm
namespace devices to do byte aligned IO.
The BTT works as a stacked blocked device, and reserves a chunk of space
from the backing device for its accounting metadata. It is a bio-based
driver because all IO is done synchronously, and there is no queuing or
asynchronous completions at either the device or the driver level.
The BTT uses 'lanes' to index into various 'on-disk' data structures,
and lanes also act as a synchronization mechanism in case there are more
CPUs than available lanes. We did a comparison between two lane lock
strategies - first where we kept an atomic counter around that tracked
which was the last lane that was used, and 'our' lane was determined by
atomically incrementing that. That way, for the nr_cpus > nr_lanes case,
theoretically, no CPU would be blocked waiting for a lane. The other
strategy was to use the cpu number we're scheduled on to and hash it to
a lane number. Theoretically, this could block an IO that could've
otherwise run using a different, free lane. But some fio workloads
showed that the direct cpu -> lane hash performed faster than tracking
'last lane' - my reasoning is the cache thrash caused by moving the
atomic variable made that approach slower than simply waiting out the
in-progress IO. This supports the conclusion that the driver can be a
very simple bio-based one that does synchronous IOs instead of queuing.

NVDIMM namespaces, in addition to accepting "struct bio" based requests,
also have the capability to perform byte-aligned accesses. By default
only the bio/block interface is used. However, if another driver can
make effective use of the byte-aligned capability it can claim namespace
interface and use the byte-aligned ->rw_bytes() interface.
The BTT driver is the initial first consumer of this mechanism to allow
adding atomic sector update semantics to a pmem or blk namespace. This
patch is the sysfs infrastructure to allow configuring a BTT instance
for a namespace. Enabling that BTT and performing i/o is in a
subsequent patch.
