There is no point to ask how many device-dax instances the kernel should support. Since we are already using a dynamic major number, just allow the max number of minors by default and be done. This also fixes the fact that the proposed max for the NR_DEV_DAX range was larger than what could be supported by alloc_chrdev_region().

For configurations that do not enable DAX filesystems or drivers, do not require the DAX core to be built. Given that the 'direct_access' method has been removed from 'block_device_operations', we can also go ahead and remove the block-related dax helper functions from fs/block_dev.c to drivers/dax/super.c. This keeps dax details out of the block layer and lets the DAX core be built as a module in the FS_DAX=n case. Filesystems need to include dax.h to call bdev_dax_supported().

Toshi noticed that the new support for a region-level badblocks missed the case where errors are cleared due to BTT I/O. An initial attempt to fix this ran into a "sleeping while atomic" warning due to taking the nvdimm_bus_lock() in the BTT I/O path to satisfy the locking requirements of __nvdimm_bus_badblocks_clear(). However, that lock is not needed since we are not acting on any data that is subject to change under that lock. The badblocks instance has its own internal lock to handle mutations of the error list. So, in order to make it clear that we are just acting on region devices, rename __nvdimm_bus_badblocks_clear() to nvdimm_clear_badblocks_regions(). Eliminate the lock and consolidate all support routines for the new nvdimm_account_cleared_poison() in drivers/nvdimm/bus.c. Finally, to the opportunity to cleanup to some unnecessary casts, make the calling convention of nvdimm_clear_badblocks_regions() clearer by replacing struct resource with the minimal struct clear_badblocks_context, and use the DEVICE_ATTR macro.

Inevitably when one actually needs to debug a DSM issue it's on a distribution kernel that has CONFIG_ACPI_NFIT_DEBUG=n. The config symbol was only there to avoid the compile error due to the missing fallback for print_hex_dump_debug in the CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=n case. That was fixed with commit cdf17449 "hexdump: do not print debug dumps for !CONFIG_DEBUG", so the config symbol can just be dropped.

The nvdimm_flush() mechanism helps to reduce the impact of an ADR (asynchronous-dimm-refresh) failure. The ADR mechanism handles flushing platform WPQ (write-pending-queue) buffers when power is removed. The nvdimm_flush() mechanism performs that same function on-demand. When a pmem namespace is associated with a block device, an nvdimm_flush() is triggered with every block-layer REQ_FUA, or REQ_FLUSH request. These requests are typically associated with filesystem metadata updates. However, when a namespace is in device-dax mode, userspace (think database metadata) needs another path to perform the same flushing. In other words this is not required to make data persistent, but in the case of metadata it allows for a smaller failure domain in the unlikely event of an ADR failure. The new 'deep_flush' attribute is visible when the individual DIMMs backing a given interleave-set are described by platform firmware. In ACPI terms this is "NVDIMM Region Mapping Structures" and associated "Flush Hint Address Structures". Reads return "1" if the region supports triggering WPQ flushes on all DIMMs. Reads return "0" the flush operation is a platform nop, and in that case the attribute is read-only. Why sysfs and not an ioctl? An ioctl requires establishing a new ioctl function number space for device-dax. Given that this would be called on a device-dax fd an application could be forgiven for accidentally calling this on a filesystem-dax fd. Placing this interface in libnvdimm sysfs removes that potential for collision with a filesystem ioctl, and it keeps ioctls out of the generic device-dax implementation.

memcpy_from_pmem() maps directly to memcpy_mcsafe(). The wrapper serves no real benefit aside from affording a more generic function name than the x86-specific 'mcsafe'. However this would not be the first time that x86 terminology leaked into the global namespace. For lack of better name, just use memcpy_mcsafe() directly. This conversion also catches a place where we should have been using plain memcpy, acpi_nfit_blk_single_io().

commit d1a5f2b4 ("block: use DAX for partition table reads") was part of a stalled effort to allow dax mappings of block devices. Since then the device-dax mechanism has filled the role of dax-mapping static device ranges. Now that we are moving ->direct_access() from a block_device operation to a dax_inode operation we would need block devices to map and carry their own dax_inode reference. Unless / until we decide to revive dax mapping of raw block devices through the dax_inode scheme, there is no need to carry read_dax_sector(). Its removal in turn allows for the removal of bdev_direct_access() and should have been included in commit 22375701 ("block_dev: remove DAX leftovers").

These operations will be used to stop the abuse of block_device_operations for communicating dax capabilities to filesystems. It will also be used to replace the "pmem api" and move pmem-specific cache maintenance, and other dax-driver-specific filesystem-dax operations, to dax device methods. In particular this allows us to stop abusing __copy_user_nocache(), via memcpy_to_pmem(), with a driver specific replacement. This is a standalone introduction of the operations.

The nvdimm probe flushing mechanism gives userspace a sync point where it knows all asynchronous driver probe sequences have completed. However, it need not wait for other asynchronous actions, like on-demand address-range-scrub. Track the init work separately from other work in the workqueue, and only flush the former.

Be tolerant of cases where the BIOS provided NFIT does not consistently set the flags in all NVDIMM Region Mapping structures associated with a given dimm. Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>

Stop requiring dimms be successfully mapped into a system-physical-address range. For provisioning and hardware remediation purposes the kernel should account for failed devices in sysfs. If possible it should still allow management commands to be sent to the device.
