      powerpc/8xx: Increase number of slices to 64 · 4bd13772
      Christophe Leroy authored
      On the 8xx, the minimum slice size is the size of the area
      covered by a single PMD entry, ie 4M in 4K pages mode and 64M in
      16K pages mode.
      
      This patch increases the number of slices from 16 to 64 on the 8xx.

      powerpc/mm/slice: Allow up to 64 low slices · 15472423
      Christophe Leroy authored
      While the implementation of the "slices" address space allows
      a significant amount of high slices, it limits the number of
      low slices to 16 due to the use of a single u64 low_slices_psize
      element in struct mm_context_t
      
      On the 8xx, the minimum slice size is the size of the area
      covered by a single PMD entry, ie 4M in 4K pages mode and 64M in
      16K pages mode. This means we could have at least 64 slices.
      
      In order to override this limitation, this patch switches the
      handling of low_slices_psize to char array as done already for
      high_slices_psize.

      powerpc/mm/slice: Fix hugepage allocation at hint address on 8xx · aa0ab02b
      Christophe Leroy authored
      On the 8xx, the page size is set in the PMD entry and applies to
      all pages of the page table pointed by the said PMD entry.
      
      When an app has some regular pages allocated (e.g. see below) and tries
      to mmap() a huge page at a hint address covered by the same PMD entry,
      the kernel accepts the hint allthough the 8xx cannot handle different
      page sizes in the same PMD entry.
      
      10000000-10001000 r-xp 00000000 00:0f 2597 /root/malloc
      10010000-10011000 rwxp 00000000 00:0f 2597 /root/malloc

           MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS|0x40000, -1, 0) = 0x10080000
      
      This results the app remaining forever in do_page_fault()/hugetlb_fault()
      and when interrupting that app, we get the following warning:

      [162985.363322] BUG: non-zero nr_ptes on freeing mm: -1
      
      In order to fix this, this patch uses the address space "slices"
      implemented for BOOK3S/64 and enhanced to support PPC32 by the
      preceding patch.
      
      This patch modifies the context.id on the 8xx to be in the range
      [1:16] instead of [0:15] in order to identify context.id == 0 as
      not initialised contexts as done on BOOK3S
      
      This patch activates CONFIG_PPC_MM_SLICES when CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE is
      selected for the 8xx
      
      Alltough we could in theory have as many slices as PMD entries, the
      current slices implementation limits the number of low slices to 16.
      This limitation is not preventing us to fix the initial issue allthough
      it is suboptimal. It will be cured in a subsequent patch.

      powerpc/mm/slice: Enhance for supporting PPC32 · db3a528d
      Christophe Leroy authored
      In preparation for the following patch which will fix an issue on
      the 8xx by re-using the 'slices', this patch enhances the
      'slices' implementation to support 32 bits CPUs.
      
      On PPC32, the address space is limited to 4Gbytes, hence only the low
      slices will be used.
      
      The high slices use bitmaps. As bitmap functions are not prepared to
      handle bitmaps of size 0, this patch ensures that bitmap functions
      are called only when SLICE_NUM_HIGH is not nul.

      this patch takes out of page*.h all bits related to 'slices' and put

      parts go into respective books3s/64/slice.c and nohash/64/slice.c

      powerpc: Keep const vars out of writable .sdata · 51d42f0f
      Segher Boessenkool authored
      Newer gcc will support "-mno-readonly-in-sdata"[1], which makes sure that
      the optimization on PPC32 for variables getting moved into the .sdata
      section will not apply to const variables (which must be in .rodata).
      
      This was originally noticed in mm/rodata_test.c when rodata_test_data
      was not static:
      
      c0695034 g     O .data	00000004 rodata_test_data
      
      After this patch with an updated compiler, this is correctly in .rodata.

           force-unit- access like mechanism for persistent memory. Restore
           that mechanism.
      
         - VFIO like RDMA is yet one more memory registration / pinning
           interface that is incompatible with Filesystem-DAX. Disable long
           term pins of Filesystem-DAX mappings via VFIO.
      
         - The Filesystem-DAX detection to prevent long terms pins mistakenly
           also disabled Device-DAX pins which are not subject to the same
           block- map collision concerns.
      
         - Similar to the setup path, softlockup warnings can trigger in the
           shutdown path for large persistent memory namespaces. Teach
           for_each_device_pfn() to perform cond_resched() in all cases.
      
         - Boaz noticed that the might_sleep() in dax_direct_access() is stale
           as of the v4.15 kernel.

      memremap: fix softlockup reports at teardown · 949b9325
      Dan Williams authored
      The cond_resched() currently in the setup path needs to be duplicated in
      the teardown path. Rather than require each instance of
      for_each_device_pfn() to open code the same sequence, embed it in the
      helper.

      libnvdimm: re-enable deep flush for pmem devices via fsync() · 5fdf8e5b
      Dave Jiang authored
      Re-enable deep flush so that users always have a way to be sure that a
      write makes it all the way out to media. Writes from the PMEM driver
      always arrive at the NVDIMM since movnt is used to bypass the cache, and
      the driver relies on the ADR (Asynchronous DRAM Refresh) mechanism to
      flush write buffers on power failure. The Deep Flush mechanism is there
      to explicitly write buffers to protect against (rare) ADR failure.  This
      change prevents a regression in deep flush behavior so that applications
      can continue to depend on fsync() as a mechanism to trigger deep flush
      in the filesystem-DAX case.

      vfio: disable filesystem-dax page pinning · 94db151d
      Dan Williams authored
      Filesystem-DAX is incompatible with 'longterm' page pinning. Without
      page cache indirection a DAX mapping maps filesystem blocks directly.
      This means that the filesystem must not modify a file's block map while
      any page in a mapping is pinned. In order to prevent the situation of
      userspace holding of filesystem operations indefinitely, disallow
      'longterm' Filesystem-DAX mappings.
      
      RDMA has the same conflict and the plan there is to add a 'with lease'
      mechanism to allow the kernel to notify userspace that the mapping is
      being torn down for block-map maintenance. Perhaps something similar can
      be put in place for vfio.
      
      Note that xfs and ext4 still report:
      
         "DAX enabled. Warning: EXPERIMENTAL, use at your own risk"
      
      ...at mount time, and resolving the dax-dma-vs-truncate problem is one
      of the last hurdles to remove that designation.
