| * libnvdimm, label: convert label tracking to a linked listDan Williams2016-10-011-4/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In preparation for enabling multiple namespaces per pmem region, convert the label tracking to use a linked list. In particular this will allow select_pmem_id() to move labels from the unvalidated state to the validated state. Currently we only track one validated set per-region.

| * libnvdimm: Fix nvdimm_probe error on NVDIMM-NToshi Kani2016-09-021-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 'ndctl list --buses --dimms' does not list any NVDIMM-Ns since they are considered as idle. ndctl checks if any driver is attached to nmem device. nvdimm_probe() always fails in nvdimm_init_nsarea() since NVDIMM-Ns do not implement optinal ND_CMD_GET_CONFIG_DATA command. Change nvdimm_probe() to accept the case that the CONFIG_DATA command is not implemented for NVDIMM-Ns. The driver attaches without ndd, which keeps it no-op to the device.

* | libnvdimm, region: fix flush hint table thinkoDan Williams2016-09-241-2/+20
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The definition of the flush hint table as: void __iomem *flush_wpq[0][0]; ...passed the unit test, but is broken as flush_wpq[0][1] and flush_wpq[1][0] refer to the same entry. Fix this to use a helper that calculates a slot in the table based on the geometry of flush hints in the region.

* libnvdimm: cycle flush hintsDan Williams2016-07-121-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the NFIT provides multiple flush hint addresses per-dimm it is expressing that the platform is capable of processing multiple flush requests in parallel. There is some fixed cost per flush request, let the cost be shared in parallel on multiple cpus. Since there may not be enough flush hint addresses for each cpu to have one, keep a per-cpu index of the last used hint, hash it with current pid, and assume that access pattern and scheduler randomness will keep the flush-hint usage somewhat staggered across cpus.

Since this uses devm_nvdimm_memremap() the flush addresses will remain mapped while any region to which the dimm belongs is active.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In preparation for providing an alternative (to block device) access mechanism to persistent memory, convert pmem_rw_bytes() to nsio_rw_bytes(). This allows ->rw_bytes() functionality without requiring a 'struct pmem_device' to be instantiated. In other words, when ->rw_bytes() is in use i/o is driven through 'struct nd_namespace_io', otherwise it is driven through 'struct pmem_device' and the block layer. This consolidates the disjoint calls to devm_exit_badblocks() and devm_memunmap() into a common devm_nsio_disable() and cleans up the init path to use a unified pmem_attach_disk() implementation.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a BTT is instantiated on a namespace it must validate the namespace uuid matches the 'parent_uuid' stored in the btt superblock. This property enforces that changing the namespace UUID invalidates all former BTT instances on that storage. For "IO namespaces" that don't have a label or UUID, the parent_uuid is set to zero, and this validation is skipped. For such cases, old BTTs have to be invalidated by forcing the namespace to raw mode, and overwriting the BTT info blocks.

* libnvdimm, nfit: handle unarmed dimms, mark namespaces read-onlyDan Williams2015-06-261-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>

* libnvdimm, nfit, nd_blk: driver for BLK-mode access persistent memoryRoss Zwisler2015-06-261-2/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* nd_btt: atomic sector updatesVishal Verma2015-06-261-1/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* libnvdimm: infrastructure for btt devicesDan Williams2015-06-251-0/+40
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A blk label set describes a namespace comprised of one or more discontiguous dpa ranges on a single dimm.

A later patch will make these settings persistent by writing back the label(s). Unlike pmem namespaces, multiple blk namespaces can be created per region. Once a blk namespace has been created a new seed device (unconfigured child of a parent blk region) is instantiated. As long as a region has 'available_size' != 0 new child namespaces may be created.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On platforms that have firmware support for reading/writing per-dimm label space, a portion of the dimm may be accessible via an interleave set PMEM mapping in addition to the dimm's BLK (block-data-window aperture(s)) interface. A label, stored in a "configuration data region" on the dimm, disambiguates which dimm addresses are accessed through which exclusive interface. Add infrastructure that allows the kernel to block modifications to a label in the set while any member dimm is active. Note that this is meant only for enforcing "no modifications of active labels" via the coarse ioctl command. Adding/deleting namespaces from an active interleave set is always possible via sysfs. Another aspect of tracking interleave sets is tracking their integrity when DIMMs in a set are physically re-ordered. For this purpose we generate an "interleave-set cookie" that can be recorded in a label and validated against the current configuration. It is the bus provider implementation's responsibility to calculate the interleave set cookie and attach it to a given region.

* libnvdimm: support for legacy (non-aliasing) nvdimmsDan Williams2015-06-251-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The libnvdimm region driver is an intermediary driver that translates non-volatile "region"s into "namespace" sub-devices that are surfaced by persistent memory block-device drivers (PMEM and BLK). ACPI 6 introduces the concept that a given nvdimm may simultaneously offer multiple access modes to its media through direct PMEM load/store access, or windowed BLK mode. Existing nvdimms mostly implement a PMEM interface, some offer a BLK-like mode, but never both as ACPI 6 defines. If an nvdimm is single interfaced, then there is no need for dimm metadata labels. For these devices we can take the region boundaries directly to create a child namespace device (nd_namespace_io).

* libnvdimm, nfit: regions (block-data-window, persistent memory, volatile memory)Dan Williams2015-06-251-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A "region" device represents the maximum capacity of a BLK range (mmio block-data-window(s)), or a PMEM range (DAX-capable persistent memory or volatile memory), without regard for aliasing. Aliasing, in the dimm-local address space (DPA), is resolved by metadata on a dimm to designate which exclusive interface will access the aliased DPA ranges. Support for the per-dimm metadata/label arrvies is in a subsequent patch. The name format of "region" devices is "regionN" where, like dimms, N is a global ida index assigned at discovery time. This id is not reliable across reboots nor in the presence of hotplug. Look to attributes of the region or static id-data of the sub-namespace to generate a persistent name. However, if the platform configuration does not change it is reasonable to expect the same region id to be assigned at the next boot. "region"s have 2 generic attributes "size", and "mapping"s where: - size: the BLK accessible capacity or the span of the system physical address range in the case of PMEM. - mappingN: a tuple describing a dimm's contribution to the region's capacity in the format (<nmemX>,<dpa>,<size>). For a PMEM-region there will be at least one mapping per dimm in the interleave set. For a BLK-region there is only "mapping0" listing the starting DPA of the BLK-region and the available DPA capacity of that space (matches "size" above). The max number of mappings per "region" is hard coded per the constraints of sysfs attribute groups. That said the number of mappings per region should never exceed the maximum number of possible dimms in the system. If the current number turns out to not be enough then the "mappings" attribute clarifies how many there are supposed to be. "32 should be enough for anybody...".

* libnvdimm, nvdimm: dimm driver and base libnvdimm device-driver infrastructureDan Williams2015-06-251-0/+36
* Implement the device-model infrastructure for loading modules and attaching drivers to nvdimm devices. This is a simple association of a nd-device-type number with a driver that has a bitmask of supported device types. To facilitate userspace bind/unbind operations 'modalias' and 'devtype', that also appear in the uevent, are added as generic sysfs attributes for all nvdimm devices. The reason for the device-type number is to support sub-types within a given parent devtype, be it a vendor-specific sub-type or otherwise. * The first consumer of this infrastructure is the driver for dimm devices. It simply uses control messages to retrieve and store the configuration-data image (label set) from each dimm. Note: nd_device_register() arranges for asynchronous registration of nvdimm bus devices by default.
