2016-10-27nvdimm: make CONFIG_NVDIMM_DAX 'bool'Arnd Bergmann
A bugfix just tried to address a randconfig build problem and introduced a variant of the same problem: with CONFIG_LIBNVDIMM=y and CONFIG_NVDIMM_DAX=m, the nvdimm module now fails to link: drivers/nvdimm/built-in.o: In function `to_nd_device_type': bus.c:(.text+0x1b5d): undefined reference to `is_nd_dax' drivers/nvdimm/built-in.o: In function `nd_region_notify_driver_action.constprop.2': region_devs.c:(.text+0x6b6c): undefined reference to `is_nd_dax' region_devs.c:(.text+0x6b8c): undefined reference to `to_nd_dax' drivers/nvdimm/built-in.o: In function `nd_region_probe': region.c:(.text+0x70f3): undefined reference to `nd_dax_create' drivers/nvdimm/built-in.o: In function `mode_show': namespace_devs.c:(.text+0xa196): undefined reference to `is_nd_dax' drivers/nvdimm/built-in.o: In function `nvdimm_namespace_common_probe': (.text+0xa55f): undefined reference to `is_nd_dax' drivers/nvdimm/built-in.o: In function `nvdimm_namespace_common_probe': (.text+0xa56e): undefined reference to `to_nd_dax' This reverts the earlier fix, making NVDIMM_DAX a 'bool' option again as it should be (it gets linked into the libnvdimm module). To fix the original problem, I'm adding a dependency on LIBNVDIMM to DEV_DAX_PMEM, which ensures we can't have that one built-in if the rest is a module.

2016-10-07/dev/dax: fix Kconfig dependency build breakageRoss Zwisler
The function dax_pmem_probe() in drivers/dax/pmem.c is compiled under the CONFIG_DEV_DAX_PMEM tri-state config option. This config option currently only depends on CONFIG_NVDIMM_DAX, a bool, which means that the following configuration is possible: CONFIG_LIBNVDIMM=m ... CONFIG_NVDIMM_DAX=y CONFIG_DEV_DAX=y CONFIG_DEV_DAX_PMEM=y With this config LIBNVDIMM is compiled as a module with NVDIMM_DAX=y just meaning that we will compile drivers/nvdimm/dax_devs.c into that module. However, dax_pmem_probe() depends on several symbols defined in drivers/nvdimm/dax_devs.c, which results in the following build errors: drivers/built-in.o: In function `dax_pmem_probe': linux/drivers/dax/pmem.c:70: undefined reference to `to_nd_dax' linux/drivers/dax/pmem.c:74: undefined reference to `nvdimm_namespace_common_probe' linux/drivers/dax/pmem.c:80: undefined reference to `devm_nsio_enable' linux/drivers/dax/pmem.c:81: undefined reference to `nvdimm_setup_pfn' linux/drivers/dax/pmem.c:84: undefined reference to `devm_nsio_disable' linux/drivers/dax/pmem.c:122: undefined reference to `to_nd_region' drivers/built-in.o: In function `dax_pmem_init': linux/drivers/dax/pmem.c:147: undefined reference to `__nd_driver_register' Fix this by making NVDIMM_DAX a tristate. DEV_DAX_PMEM depends on NVDIMM_DAX which depends on LIBNVDIMM. Since they are all now tristates, if LIBNVDIMM is built as a kernel module DEV_DAX_PMEM will be as well. This prevents dax_devs.c from being built as a built-in while its dependencies are in the libnvdimm.ko module.

2016-07-07libnvdimm: introduce devm_nvdimm_memremap(), convert nfit_spa_map() usersDan Williams
In preparation for generically mapping flush hint addresses for both the BLK and PMEM use case, provide a generic / reference counted mapping api. Given the fact that a dimm may belong to multiple regions (PMEM and BLK), the flush hint addresses need to be held valid as long as any region associated with the dimm is active. This is similar to the existing BLK-region case where multiple BLK-regions may share an aperture mapping. Up-level this shared / reference-counted mapping capability from the nfit driver to a core nvdimm capability. This eliminates the need for the nd_blk_region.disable() callback. Note that the removal of nfit_spa_map() and related infrastructure is deferred to a later patch. Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>
2016-05-09libnvdimm, dax: introduce device-dax infrastructureDan Williams
Device DAX is the device-centric analogue of Filesystem DAX (CONFIG_FS_DAX). It allows persistent memory ranges to be allocated and mapped without need of an intervening file system. This initial infrastructure arranges for a libnvdimm pfn-device to be represented as a different device-type so that it can be attached to a driver other than the pmem driver.

2015-08-28libnvdimm, pmem: 'struct page' for pmemDan Williams
Enable the pmem driver to handle PFN device instances. Attaching a pmem namespace to a pfn device triggers the driver to allocate and initialize struct page entries for pmem. Memory capacity for this allocation comes exclusively from RAM for now which is suitable for low PMEM to RAM ratios. This mechanism will be expanded later for setting an "allocate from PMEM" policy.

2015-08-28libnvdimm, pfn: 'struct page' provider infrastructureDan Williams
Implement the base infrastructure for libnvdimm PFN devices. Similar to BTT devices they take a namespace as a backing device and layer functionality on top. In this case the functionality is reserving space for an array of 'struct page' entries to be handed out through pfn_to_page(). For now this is just the basic libnvdimm-device-model for configuring the base PFN device. As the namespace claiming mechanism for PFN devices is mostly identical to BTT devices drivers/nvdimm/claim.c is created to house the common bits.

2015-06-26libnvdimm, nfit, nd_blk: driver for BLK-mode access persistent memoryRoss Zwisler
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.

2015-06-26nd_btt: atomic sector updatesVishal Verma
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.

2015-06-25libnvdimm: infrastructure for btt devicesDan Williams
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.

2015-06-24libnvdimm, nfit: initial libnvdimm infrastructure and NFIT supportDan Williams
A struct nvdimm_bus is the anchor device for registering nvdimm resources and interfaces, for example, a character control device, nvdimm devices, and I/O region devices. The ACPI NFIT (NVDIMM Firmware Interface Table) is one possible platform description for such non-volatile memory resources in a system. The nfit.ko driver attaches to the "ACPI0012" device that indicates the presence of the NFIT and parses the table to register a struct nvdimm_bus instance.
