dax: stop requiring a live device for dax_flush()

2017-11-15T00:49:15Z

Now that dax_flush() is no longer a driver callback (commit c3ca015fab6d "dax: remove the pmem_dax_ops->flush abstraction"), stop requiring the dax_read_lock() to be held and the device to be alive. This is in preparation for switching filesystem-dax to store pfns instead of sectors in the radix. Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Dan Williams

dax: remove the pmem_dax_ops->flush abstraction

2017-09-11T15:00:55Z

Commit abebfbe2f731 ("dm: add ->flush() dax operation support") is buggy. A DM device may be composed of multiple underlying devices and all of them need to be flushed. That commit just routes the flush request to the first device and ignores the other devices. It could be fixed by adding more complex logic to the device mapper. But there is only one implementation of the method pmem_dax_ops->flush - that is pmem_dax_flush() - and it calls arch_wb_cache_pmem(). Consequently, we don't need the pmem_dax_ops->flush abstraction at all, we can call arch_wb_cache_pmem() directly from dax_flush() because dax_dev->ops->flush can't ever reach anything different from arch_wb_cache_pmem(). It should be also pointed out that for some uses of persistent memory it is needed to flush only a very small amount of data (such as 1 cacheline), and it would be overkill if we go through that device mapper machinery for a single flushed cache line. Fix this by removing the pmem_dax_ops->flush abstraction and call arch_wb_cache_pmem() directly from dax_flush(). Also, remove the device mapper code that forwards the flushes.

Add a helper that can replace the following common pattern: if (blk_queue_dax(bdev->bd_queue)) fs_dax_get_by_host(bdev->bd_disk->disk_name); This will be used to move dax_device lookup from iomap-operation time to fs-mount time.

dm, dax: Make sure dm_dax_flush() is called if device supports it

2017-07-26T19:55:44Z

Currently dm_dax_flush() is not being called, even if underlying dax device supports write cache, because DAXDEV_WRITE_CACHE is not being propagated up to the DM dax device. If the underlying dax device supports write cache, set DAXDEV_WRITE_CACHE on the DM dax device. This will cause dm_dax_flush() to be called.

2017-07-07T16:44:06Z

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams: "libnvdimm updates for the latest ACPI and UEFI specifications. This pull request also includes new 'struct dax_operations' enabling to undo the abuse of copy_user_nocache() for copy operations to pmem. The dax work originally missed 4.12 to address concerns raised by Al. Summary: - Introduce the _flushcache() family of memory copy helpers and use them for persistent memory write operations on x86. The _flushcache() semantic indicates that the cache is either bypassed for the copy operation (movnt) or any lines dirtied by the copy operation are written back (clwb, clflushopt, or clflush). - Extend dax_operations with ->copy_from_iter() and ->flush() operations. These operations and other infrastructure updates allow all persistent memory specific dax functionality to be pushed into libnvdimm and the pmem driver directly. It also allows dax-specific sysfs attributes to be linked to a host device, for example: /sys/block/pmem0/dax/write_cache - Add support for the new NVDIMM platform/firmware mechanisms introduced in ACPI 6.2 and UEFI 2.7. This support includes the v1.2 namespace label format, extensions to the address-range-scrub command set, new error injection commands, and a new BTT (block-translation-table) layout. These updates support inter-OS and pre-OS compatibility. - Fix a longstanding memory corruption bug in nfit_test. - Make the pmem and nvdimm-region 'badblocks' sysfs files poll(2) capable. - Miscellaneous fixes and small updates across libnvdimm and the nfit driver.

libnvdimm, pmem, dax: export a cache control attribute

2017-06-29T16:29:50Z

The dax_flush() operation can be turned into a nop on platforms where firmware arranges for cpu caches to be flushed on a power-fail event. The ACPI 6.2 specification defines a mechanism for the platform to indicate this capability so the kernel can select the proper default. However, for other platforms, the administrator must toggle this setting manually. Given this flush setting is a dax-specific mechanism we advertise it through a 'dax' attribute group hanging off a host device. For example, a 'pmem0' block-device gets a 'dax' sysfs-subdirectory with a 'write_cache' attribute to control response to dax cache flush requests. This is similar to the 'queue/write_cache' attribute that appears under block devices.
