To be consistent with other genalloc interface namings, rename
dev_get_gen_pool() to gen_pool_get(). The original omitted "dev_" prefix
is removed, since it points to argument type of the function, and so it
does not bring any useful information.

do_device_access() takes a separate parameter to indicate the direction of
data transfer, which it used to use to select the appropriate function out
of sg_pcopy_{to,from}_buffer(). However these two functions now have
So this patch makes it bypass these wrappers and call the underlying
function sg_copy_buffer() directly; this has the same calling style as
do_device_access() i.e. a separate direction-of-transfer parameter and no
pointers-to-const, so skipping the wrappers not only eliminates the
warning, it also make the code simpler :)

CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is set
This patch initalises all low memory struct pages and 2G of the highest
zone on each node during memory initialisation if
CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is set. That config option cannot be set
but will be available in a later patch. Parallel initialisation of struct
page depends on some features from memory hotplug and it is necessary to
alter alter section annotations.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/djbw/nvdimm
Pull libnvdimm subsystem from Dan Williams:
"The libnvdimm sub-system introduces, in addition to the
libnvdimm-core, 4 drivers / enabling modules:
NFIT:
Instantiates an "nvdimm bus" with the core and registers memory
devices (NVDIMMs) enumerated by the ACPI 6.0 NFIT (NVDIMM Firmware
Interface table).
After registering NVDIMMs the NFIT driver then registers "region"
devices. A libnvdimm-region defines an access mode and the
boundaries of persistent memory media. A region may span multiple
NVDIMMs that are interleaved by the hardware memory controller. In
turn, a libnvdimm-region can be carved into a "namespace" device and
bound to the PMEM or BLK driver which will attach a Linux block
device (disk) interface to the memory.
PMEM:
Initially merged in v4.1 this driver for contiguous spans of
persistent memory address ranges is re-worked to drive
PMEM-namespaces emitted by the libnvdimm-core.
In this update the PMEM driver, on x86, gains the ability to assert
that writes to persistent memory have been flushed all the way
through the caches and buffers in the platform to persistent media.
See memcpy_to_pmem() and wmb_pmem().
BLK:
This new driver enables access to persistent memory media through
"Block Data Windows" as defined by the NFIT. The primary difference
of this driver to PMEM is that only a small window of persistent
memory is mapped into system address space at any given point in
time.
Per-NVDIMM windows are reprogrammed at run time, per-I/O, to access
different portions of the media. BLK-mode, by definition, does not
support DAX.
BTT:
This is a library, optionally consumed by either PMEM or BLK, that
converts a byte-accessible namespace into a disk with atomic sector
update semantics (prevents sector tearing on crash or power loss).
The sinister aspect of sector tearing is that most applications do
not know they have a atomic sector dependency. At least today's
disk's rarely ever tear sectors and if they do one almost certainly
gets a CRC error on access. NVDIMMs will always tear and always
silently. Until an application is audited to be robust in the
presence of sector-tearing the usage of BTT is recommended.

Pull drm updates from Dave Airlie:
"This is the main drm pull request for v4.2.
I've one other new driver from freescale on my radar, it's been posted
and reviewed, I'd just like to get someone to give it a last look, so
maybe I'll send it or maybe I'll leave it.

to the build in various configs,t hat I just applied.
Summary:
New drivers:
- virtio-gpu:

The wilc1000 has just too many build warnings to be able to enable it
for the 4.2 release. Given that there have not been any patches
submitted to properly fix these obvious errors, I'm going to disable it
for now. I will enable it back when the build warning fixes are
submitted, or, if that never happens, I will remove it from the tree.

Based on an original patch by Ross Zwisler [1].
Writes to persistent memory have the potential to be posted to cpu
cache, cpu write buffers, and platform write buffers (memory controller)
before being committed to persistent media. Provide apis,
memcpy_to_pmem(), wmb_pmem(), and memremap_pmem(), to write data to
pmem and assert that it is durable in PMEM (a persistent linear address
range). A '__pmem' attribute is added so sparse can track proper usage
of pointers to pmem.
This continues the status quo of pmem being x86 only for 4.2, but
reworks to ioremap, and wider implementation of memremap() will enable
other archs in 4.3.

Add support of sysfs 'numa_node' to I/O-related NVDIMM devices
under /sys/bus/nd/devices, regionN, namespaceN.0, and bttN.x.
An example of numa_node values on a 2-socket system with a single
NVDIMM range on each socket is shown below.
/sys/bus/nd/devices
|-- btt0.0/numa_node:0
|-- btt1.0/numa_node:1
|-- btt1.1/numa_node:1
|-- namespace0.0/numa_node:0
|-- namespace1.0/numa_node:1
|-- region0/numa_node:0
|-- region1/numa_node:1
These numa_node files are then linked under the block class of
their device names.
/sys/class/block/pmem0/device/numa_node:0
/sys/class/block/pmem1s/device/numa_node:1
This enables numactl(8) to accept 'block:' and 'file:' paths of
pmem and btt devices as shown in the examples below.
numactl --preferred block:pmem0 --show
numactl --preferred file:/dev/pmem1s --show

ACPI NFIT table has System Physical Address Range Structure entries that
describe a proximity ID of each range when ACPI_NFIT_PROXIMITY_VALID is
set in the flags.
Change acpi_nfit_register_region() to map a proximity ID to its node ID,
and set it to a new numa_node field of nd_region_desc, which is then
conveyed to the nd_region device.
The device core arranges for btt and namespace devices to inherit their
node from their parent region.

The kernel initializes CPU & memory's NUMA topology from ACPI
SRAT table. Some other ACPI tables, such as NFIT and DMAR, also
contain proximity IDs for their device's NUMA topology. This
information can be used to improve performance of these devices.
This patch introduces acpi_map_pxm_to_online_node(), which is
similar to acpi_map_pxm_to_node(), but always returns an online
node. When the mapped node from a given proximity ID is offline,
it looks up the node distance table and returns the nearest
online node.
ACPI device drivers, which are called after the NUMA initialization
has completed in the kernel, can call this interface to obtain their
device NUMA topology from ACPI tables. Such drivers do not have to
deal with offline nodes. A node may be offline when a device
proximity ID is unique, SRAT memory entry does not exist, or NUMA is
disabled, ex. "numa=off" on x86.
This patch also moves the pxm range check from acpi_get_node() to
acpi_map_pxm_to_node().

Upon detection of an unarmed dimm in a region, arrange for descendant
BTT, PMEM, or BLK instances to be read-only. A dimm is primarily marked
"unarmed" via flags passed by platform firmware (NFIT).
The flags in the NFIT memory device sub-structure indicate the state of
the data on the nvdimm relative to its energy source or last "flush to
persistence". For the most part there is nothing the driver can do but
advertise the state of these flags in sysfs and emit a message if
firmware indicates that the contents of the device may be corrupted.
However, for the case of ACPI_NFIT_MEM_ARMED, the driver can arrange for
the block devices incorporating that nvdimm to be marked read-only.
This is a safe default as the data is still available and new writes are
held off until the administrator either forces read-write mode, or the
energy source becomes armed.
A 'read_only' attribute is added to REGION devices to allow for
overriding the default read-only policy of all descendant block devices.

'libnvdimm' is the first driver sub-system in the kernel to implement
mocking for unit test coverage. The nfit_test module gets built as an
external module and arranges for external module replacements of nfit,
libnvdimm, nd_pmem, and nd_blk. These replacements use the linker
--wrap option to redirect calls to ioremap() + request_mem_region() to
custom defined unit test resources. The end result is a fully
functional nvdimm_bus, as far as userspace is concerned, but with the
capability to perform otherwise destructive tests on emulated resources.
Q: Why not use QEMU for this emulation?
QEMU is not suitable for unit testing. QEMU's role is to faithfully
emulate the platform. A unit test's role is to unfaithfully implement
the platform with the goal of triggering bugs in the corners of the
sub-system implementation. As bugs are discovered in platforms, or the
sub-system itself, the unit tests are extended to backstop a fix with a
reproducer unit test.
Another problem with QEMU is that it would require coordination of 3
software projects instead of 2 (kernel + libndctl [1]) to maintain and
execute the tests. The chances for bit rot and the difficulty of
getting the tests running goes up non-linearly the more components
involved.
Q: Why submit this to the kernel tree instead of external modules in
libndctl?
Simple, to alleviate the same risk that out-of-tree external modules
face. Updates to drivers/nvdimm/ can be immediately evaluated to see if
they have any impact on tools/testing/nvdimm/.
Q: What are the negative implications of merging this?
It is a unique maintenance burden because the purpose of mocking an
interface to enable a unit test is to purposefully short circuit the
semantics of a routine to enable testing. For example
__wrap_ioremap_cache() fakes the pmem driver into "ioremap()'ing" a test
resource buffer allocated by dma_alloc_coherent(). The future
maintenance burden hits when someone changes the semantics of
ioremap_cache() and wonders what the implications are for the unit test.

The libnvdimm implementation handles allocating dimm address space (DPA)
between PMEM and BLK mode interfaces. After DPA has been allocated from
a BLK-region to a BLK-namespace the nd_blk driver attaches to handle I/O
as a struct bio based block device. Unlike PMEM, BLK is required to
handle platform specific details like mmio register formats and memory
controller interleave. For this reason the libnvdimm generic nd_blk
driver calls back into the bus provider to carry out the I/O.
This initial implementation handles the BLK interface defined by the
ACPI 6 NFIT [1] and the NVDIMM DSM Interface Example [2] composed from
DCR (dimm control region), BDW (block data window), IDT (interleave
descriptor) NFIT structures and the hardware register format.

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.

Commit bccab6a0 ("dm cache: switch the "default" cache replacement
policy from mq to smq") should've incremented the "default" policy's
version number to 1.4.0 rather than reverting to version 1.0.0.

This reverts commit 5f1b670d0bef508a5554d92525f5f6d00d640b38.
Justification for revert as reported in this dm-devel post:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2015-June/msg00160.html
this change should not be pushed to mainline yet.
Firstly, Christoph has a newer version of the patch that fixes silent
data corruption problem:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2015-May/msg00229.html
And the new version still depends on LLDDs to always complete requests
to the end when error happens, while block API doesn't enforce such a
requirement. If the assumption is ever broken, the inconsistency between
request and bio (e.g. rq->__sector and rq->bio) will cause silent data
corruption:
