Dan Williams 01b1a29e32 libnvdimm, pfn: fix start_pad handling for aligned namespaces
commit 19deaa217b upstream.

The alignment checks at pfn driver startup fail to properly account for
the 'start_pad' in the case where the namespace is misaligned relative
to its internal alignment. This is typically triggered in 1G aligned
namespace, but could theoretically trigger with small namespace
alignments. When this triggers the kernel reports messages of the form:

    dax2.1: bad offset: 0x3c000000 dax disabled align: 0x40000000

Dan Williams 6d80b15a22 libnvdimm, dax: fix 1GB-aligned namespaces vs physical misalignment
commit 41fce90f26 upstream.

The following namespace configuration attempt:

    # ndctl create-namespace -e namespace0.0 -m devdax -a 1G -f
    libndctl: ndctl_dax_enable: dax0.1: failed to enable
      Error: namespace0.0: failed to enable

    failed to reconfigure namespace: No such device or address

...fails when the backing memory range is not physically aligned to 1G:

    # cat /proc/iomem | grep Persistent
    210000000-30fffffff : Persistent Memory (legacy)

In the above example the 4G persistent memory range starts and ends on a
256MB boundary.

We handle this case correctly when needing to handle cases that violate
section alignment (128MB) collisions against "System RAM", and we simply
need to extend that padding/truncation for the 1GB alignment use case.

Dan Williams f13d2b61e5 libnvdimm, pfn, dax: limit namespace alignments to the supported set
Now that we properly advertise the supported pte, pmd, and pud sizes,
restrict the supported alignments that can be set on a namespace. This
assumes that userspace was not previously relying on the ability to set
odd alignments. At least ndctl only ever supported setting the namespace
alignment to 4K, 2M, or 1G.

Oliver O'Halloran 1fdadbebc4 libnvdimm, pfn, dax: show supported dax/pfn region alignments in sysfs
The alignment of a DAX and PFN regions dictates the page sizes that can
be used to map the region. Even if the hardware page sizes are known the
actual range of supported page sizes that can be used with DAX depends
on the kernel configuration. As a result it's best that the kernel
advertises the alignments that should be used with these region types.

This patch adds the 'supported_alignments' region attribute to expose
this information to userspace.

Oliver O'Halloran 0dd6964306 libnvdimm: Stop using HPAGE_SIZE
Currently libnvdimm uses HPAGE_SIZE as the default alignment for DAX and
PFN devices. HPAGE_SIZE is the default hugetlbfs page size and when
hugetlbfs is disabled it defaults to PAGE_SIZE. Given DAX has more
in common with THP than hugetlbfs we should proably be using
HPAGE_PMD_SIZE, but this is undefined when THP is disabled so lets just
give it a new name.

The other usage of HPAGE_SIZE in libnvdimm is when determining how large
the altmap should be. For the reasons mentioned above it doesn't really
make sense to use HPAGE_SIZE here either. PMD_SIZE seems to be safe to
use in generic code and it happens to match the vmemmap allocation block
on x86 and Power. It's still a hack, but it's a slightly nicer hack.

Dan Williams b3fde74ea1 libnvdimm, label: add address abstraction identifiers
Starting with v1.2 labels, 'address abstractions' can be hinted via an
address abstraction id that implies an info-block format. The standard
address abstraction in the specification is the v2 format of the
Block-Translation-Table (BTT). Support for that is saved for a later
patch, for now we add support for the Linux supported address
abstractions BTT (v1), PFN, and DAX.

The new 'holder_class' attribute for namespace devices is added for
tooling to specify the 'abstraction_guid' to store in the namespace label.
For v1.1 labels this field is undefined and any setting of
'holder_class' away from the default 'none' value will only have effect
until the driver is unloaded. Setting 'holder_class' requires that
whatever device tries to claim the namespace must be of the specified
class.

Vishal Verma 3ae3d67ba7 libnvdimm: add an atomic vs process context flag to rw_bytes
nsio_rw_bytes can clear media errors, but this cannot be done while we
are in an atomic context due to locking within ACPI. From the BTT,
->rw_bytes may be called either from atomic or process context depending
on whether the calls happen during initialization or during IO.

During init, we want to ensure error clearing happens, and the flag
marking process context allows nsio_rw_bytes to do that. When called
during IO, we're in atomic context, and error clearing can be skipped.

Dan Williams 1ee6667cd8 libnvdimm, pfn, dax: fix initialization vs autodetect for mode + alignment
The updated ndctl unit tests discovered that if a pfn configuration with
a 4K alignment is read from the namespace, that alignment will be
ignored in favor of the default 2M alignment.  The result is that the
configuration will fail initialization with a message like:

    dax6.1: bad offset: 0x22000 dax disabled align: 0x200000

Fix this by allowing the alignment read from the info block to override
the default which is 2M not 0 in the autodetect path.  This also fixes a
similar problem with the mode and alignment settings silently being
overwritten by the kernel when userspace has changed it.  We now will
either overwrite the info block if userspace changes the uuid or fail
and warn if a live setting disagrees with the info block.

Dan Williams 5e24c9fd36 libnvdimm, dax: fix alignment validation
Testing the dax-device autodetect support revealed a probe failure with
the following result:

    dax0.1: bad offset: 0x8200000 dax disabled

The original pfn-device implementation inferred the alignment from
ilog2(offset), now that the alignment is explicit the is_power_of_2()
needs replacing with a real sanity check against the recorded alignment.
Otherwise the alignment check is useless in the implicit case and only
the minimum size of the offset matters.

This self-consistency check is further validated by the probe path that
will re-check that the offset is large enough to contain all the
metadata required to enable the device.

to devm_exit_badblocks() and devm_memunmap() into a common

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.

Dan Williams e1455744b2 libnvdimm, pfn: 'struct page' provider infrastructure
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.
