      libnvdimm: register nvdimm_bus devices with an nd_bus driver · 18515942
      Dan Williams authored
      A recent effort to add a new nvdimm bus provider attribute highlighted a
      race between interrogating nvdimm_bus->nd_desc and nvdimm_bus tear down.
      The typical way to handle these races is to take the device_lock() in
      the attribute method and validate that the device is still active.  In
      order for a device to be 'active' it needs to be associated with a
      driver.  So, we create the small boilerplate for a driver and register
      nvdimm_bus devices on the 'nvdimm_bus_type' bus.
      
      A result of this change is that ndbusX devices now appear under
      /sys/bus/nd/devices.  In fact this makes /sys/class/nd somewhat
      redundant, but removing that will need to take a long deprecation period
      given its use by ndctl binaries in the field.
      
      This change naturally pulls code from drivers/nvdimm/core.c to
      drivers/nvdimm/bus.c, so it is a nice code organization clean-up as
      well.

      nfit: fix _FIT evaluation memory leak + use after free · 31932041
      Dan Williams authored
      acpi_evaluate_object() allocates memory. Free the buffer allocated
      during acpi_nfit_add(). In order for this memory to be freed
      acpi_nfit_init() needs to be converted to duplicate the nfit contents in
      its internal allocation.  Use zero-length arrays to minimize the thrash
      with the rest of the nfit driver implementation.
      
      All of the add_<nfit-sub-table>() routines now validate a minimum table
      size and expect hotplugged tables to match the size of the original
      table to count as a duplicate. For variable length tables, like 'idt'
      and 'flush', we calculate the dynamic size. Note that hotplug by
      definition cannot change the interleave as it would cause data
      corruption of in-use namespaces.

      acpi, nfit: treat virtual ramdisk SPA as pmem region · c2f32acd
      Lee, Chun-Yi authored
      This patch adds logic to treat virtual ramdisk SPA as pmem region, then
      ramdisk's /dev/pmem* device can be mounted with iso9660.
      
      It's useful to work with the httpboot in EFI firmware to pull a remote
      ISO file to the local memory region for booting and installation.
      
      Wiki page of UEFI HTTPBoot with OVMF:
      	https://en.opensuse.org/UEFI_HTTPBoot_with_OVMF
      
      The ramdisk function in EDK2/OVMF generates a ACPI0012 root device that
      it contains empty _STA but without _DSM:
      
      DefinitionBlock ("ssdt2.aml", "SSDT", 2, "INTEL ", "RamDisk ", 0x00001000)
      {
          Scope (\_SB)
          {
              Device (NVDR)
              {
                  Name (_HID, "ACPI0012")  // _HID: Hardware ID
                  Name (_STR, Unicode ("NVDIMM Root Device"))  // _STR: Description String
                  Method (_STA, 0, NotSerialized)  // _STA: Status
                  {
                      Return (0x0F)
                  }
              }
          }
      }
      
      In section 5.2.25.2 of ACPI 6.1 spec, it mentions that the "SPA Range
      Structure Index" of virtual SPA shall be set to zero. That means virtual SPA
      will not be associated by any NVDIMM region mapping.
      
      The VCD's SPA Range Structure in NFIT is similar to virtual disk region
      as following:
      
      [028h 0040   2]                Subtable Type : 0000 [System Physical Address Range]
      [02Ah 0042   2]                       Length : 0038
      
      [02Ch 0044   2]                  Range Index : 0000
      [02Eh 0046   2]        Flags (decoded below) : 0000
                         Add/Online Operation Only : 0
                            Proximity Domain Valid : 0
      [030h 0048   4]                     Reserved : 00000000
      [034h 0052   4]             Proximity Domain : 00000000
      [038h 0056  16]           Address Range GUID : 77AB535A-45FC-624B-5560-F7B281D1F96E
      [048h 0072   8]           Address Range Base : 00000000B6ABD018
      [050h 0080   8]         Address Range Length : 0000000005500000
      [058h 0088   8]         Memory Map Attribute : 0000000000000000
      
      The way to not associate a SPA range is to never reference it from a "flush hint",
      "interleave", or "control region" table.
      
      After testing on OVMF, pmem driver can support the region that it doesn't
      assoicate to any NVDIMM mapping. So, treat VCD like pmem is a idea to get
      a pmem block device that it contains iso.
      
      v4:
      Instoduce nfit_spa_is_virtual() to check virtual ramdisk SPA and create
      pmem region.
      
      v3:
      To simplify patch, removed useless VCD region in libnvdimm.
      
      v2:
      Removed the code for setting VCD to a read-only region.

      libnvdimm, pmem: use REQ_FUA, REQ_FLUSH for nvdimm_flush() · 7e267a8c
      Dan Williams authored
      Given that nvdimm_flush() has higher overhead than wmb_pmem() (pointer
      chasing through nd_region), and that we otherwise assume a platform has
      ADR capability when flush hints are not present, move nvdimm_flush() to
      REQ_FLUSH context.
      
      Note that we still arrange for nvdimm_flush() to be called even in the
      ADR case. We need at least once wmb() fence to push buffered writes in
      the cpu out to the ADR protected domain.

      libnvdimm: cycle flush hints · 0c27af60
      Dan Williams authored
      When the NFIT provides multiple flush hint addresses per-dimm it is
      expressing that the platform is capable of processing multiple flush
      requests in parallel.  There is some fixed cost per flush request, let
      the cost be shared in parallel on multiple cpus.
      
      Since there may not be enough flush hint addresses for each cpu to have
      one, keep a per-cpu index of the last used hint, hash it with current
      pid, and assume that access pattern and scheduler randomness will keep
      the flush-hint usage somewhat staggered across cpus.

      libnvdimm: introduce nvdimm_flush() and nvdimm_has_flush() · f284a4f2
      Dan Williams authored
      nvdimm_flush() is a replacement for the x86 'pcommit' instruction.  It is
      an optional write flushing mechanism that an nvdimm bus can provide for
      the pmem driver to consume.  In the case of the NFIT nvdimm-bus-provider
      nvdimm_flush() is implemented as a series of flush-hint-address [1]
      writes to each dimm in the interleave set (region) that backs the
      namespace.
      
      The nvdimm_has_flush() routine relies on platform firmware to describe
      the flushing capabilities of a platform.  It uses the heuristic of
      whether an nvdimm bus provider provides flush address data to return a
      ternary result:
      
            1: flush addresses defined
            0: dimm topology described without flush addresses (assume ADR)
       -errno: no topology information, unable to determine flush mechanism
      
      The pmem driver is expected to take the following actions on this ternary
      result:
      
            1: nvdimm_flush() in response to REQ_FUA / REQ_FLUSH and shutdown
            0: do not set, WC or FUA on the queue, take no further action
       -errno: warn and then operate as if nvdimm_has_flush() returned '0'
      
      The caveat of this heuristic is that it can not distinguish the "dimm
      does not have flush address" case from the "platform firmware is broken
      and failed to describe a flush address".  Given we are already
      explicitly trusting the NFIT there's not much more we can do beyond
      blacklisting broken firmwares if they are ever encountered.

      libnvdimm, nfit: move flush hint mapping to region-device driver-data · e5ae3b25

      In preparation for triggering flushes of a DIMM's writes-posted-queue
      (WPQ) via the pmem driver move mapping of flush hint addresses to the
      region driver.  Since this uses devm_nvdimm_memremap() the flush
      addresses will remain mapped while any region to which the dimm belongs
      is active.
      
      We need to communicate more information to the nvdimm core to facilitate
      this mapping, namely each dimm object now carries an array of flush hint
      address resources.

      libnvdimm, pmem: allow nfit_test to override pmem_direct_access() · f295e53b

      Currently phys_to_pfn_t() is an exported symbol to allow nfit_test to

      we want to enable nfit_test to operate without DMA_CMA and the pmem it

      of supporting direct_access requests larger than a page.  Make
      pmem_direct_access() a weak symbol so that it can be replaced by the
      tools/testing/nvdimm/ version, and move phys_to_pfn_t() to a static
      inline now that it no longer needs to be overridden.
