<title>libnvdimm/labels: Add uuid helpers</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d1c6e08e7503649e4a4f3f9e700e2c05300b6379</id>
<content type='text'>
In preparation for CXL labels that move the uuid to a different offset
in the label, add nsl_{ref,get,validate}_uuid(). These helpers use the
proper uuid_t type. That type definition predated the libnvdimm
subsystem, so now is as a good a time as any to convert all the uuid
handling in the subsystem to uuid_t to match the helpers.

Note that the uuid fields in the label data and superblocks is not
replaced per Andy's expectation that uuid_t is a kernel internal type
not to appear in external ABI interfaces. So, in those case
{import,export}_uuid() is used to go between the 2 types.

Also note that this rework uncovered some unnecessary copies for label
comparisons, those are cleaned up with nsl_uuid_equal().

As for the whitespace changes, all new code is clang-format compliant.

<title>libnvdimm: Move attribute groups to device type</title>

Statically initialize the attribute groups for each libnvdimm
device_type. This is a preparation step for removing unnecessary exports
of attributes that can be included in the device_type by default.

Also take the opportunity to mark 'struct device_type' instances const.

<title>driver-core, libnvdimm: Let device subsystems add local lockdep coverage</title>
<updated>2019-07-18T23:23:27Z</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=87a30e1f05d73a34e6d1895065541369131aaf1c'/>
<id>urn:sha1:87a30e1f05d73a34e6d1895065541369131aaf1c</id>
<content type='text'>
For good reason, the standard device_lock() is marked
lockdep_set_novalidate_class() because there is simply no sane way to
describe the myriad ways the device_lock() ordered with other locks.
However, that leaves subsystems that know their own local device_lock()
ordering rules to find lock ordering mistakes manually. Instead,
introduce an optional / additional lockdep-enabled lock that a subsystem
can acquire in all the same paths that the device_lock() is acquired.

A conversion of the NFIT driver and NVDIMM subsystem to a
lockdep-validate device_lock() scheme is included. The
debug_nvdimm_lock() implementation implements the correct lock-class and
stacking order for the libnvdimm device topology hierarchy.

Yes, this is a hack, but hopefully it is a useful hack for other
subsystems device_lock() debug sessions. Quoting Greg:

    "Yeah, it feels a bit hacky but it's really up to a subsystem to mess up
     using it as much as anything else, so user beware :)

     I don't object to it if it makes things easier for you to debug."

<title>libnvdimm/btt: Fix LBA masking during 'free list' population</title>
<updated>2019-02-28T17:57:39Z</updated>

<published>2019-02-28T00:06:27Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=9dedc73a4658ebcc0c9b58c3cb84e9ac80122213'/>
<id>urn:sha1:9dedc73a4658ebcc0c9b58c3cb84e9ac80122213</id>
<content type='text'>
The Linux BTT implementation assumes that log entries will never have
the 'zero' flag set, and indeed it never sets that flag for log entries
itself.

However, the UEFI spec is ambiguous on the exact format of the LBA field
of a log entry, specifically as to whether it should include the
additional flag bits or not. While a zero bit doesn't make sense in the
context of a log entry, other BTT implementations might still have it set.

If an implementation does happen to have it set, we would happily read
it in as the next block to write to for writes. Since a high bit is set,
it pushes the block number out of the range of an 'arena', and we fail
such a write with an EIO.

Follow the robustness principle, and tolerate such implementations by
stripping out the zero flag when populating the free list during
initialization. Additionally, use the same stripped out entries for
detection of incomplete writes and map restoration that happens at this
stage.

Add a sysfs file 'log_zero_flags' that indicates the ability to accept
such a layout to userspace applications. This enables 'ndctl
check-namespace' to recognize whether the kernel is able to handle zero
flags, or whether it should attempt a fix-up under the --repair option.

Dynamic debug can be instructed to add the function name to the debug
output using the +f switch, so there is no need for the libnvdimm
modules to do it again. If a user decides to add the +f switch for
libnvdimm's dynamic debug this results in double prints of the function
name.

<title>libnvdimm, label: add address abstraction identifiers</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=b3fde74ea195d2f9f49830a29f971a0aab4cd67a'/>
<id>urn:sha1:b3fde74ea195d2f9f49830a29f971a0aab4cd67a</id>
<content type='text'>
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.
