Dan Williams c16b584935 libnvdimm/namespace: Fix reaping of invalidated block-window-namespace labels
commit 2dd2a1740e upstream.

A recent change to ndctl to attempt to reconfigure namespaces in place
uncovered a label accounting problem in block-window-type namespaces.
The ndctl "create.sh" test is able to trigger this signature:

 WARNING: CPU: 34 PID: 9167 at drivers/nvdimm/label.c:1100 __blk_label_update+0x9a3/0xbc0 [libnvdimm]
 [..]
 RIP: 0010:__blk_label_update+0x9a3/0xbc0 [libnvdimm]
 [..]
 Call Trace:
  uuid_store+0x21b/0x2f0 [libnvdimm]
  kernfs_fop_write+0xcf/0x1c0
  vfs_write+0xcc/0x380
  ksys_write+0x68/0xe0

When allocated capacity for a namespace is renamed (new UUID) the labels
with the old UUID need to be deleted. The ndctl behavior to always
destroy namespaces on reconfiguration hid this problem.

The immediate impact of this bug is limited since block-window-type
namespaces only seem to exist in the specification and not in any
shipping products. However, the label handling code is being reused for
other technologies like CXL region labels, so there is a benefit to
making sure both vertical labels sets (block-window) and horizontal
label sets (pmem) have a functional reference implementation in
libnvdimm.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
