nvdimm/region: Fix default alignment for small regions

2022-04-08T11:58:27Z

[ Upstream commit d9d290d7e659e9db3e4518040cc18b97f5535f4a ] In preparation for removing BLK aperture support the NVDIMM unit tests discovered that the default alignment can be set higher than the capacity of the region. Fall back to PAGE_SIZE in that case. Given this has not been seen in the wild, elide notifying -stable.

libnvdimm/region: Fix nvdimm_has_flush() to handle ND_REGION_ASYNC

2021-04-10T04:56:01Z

In case a platform doesn't provide explicit flush-hints but provides an explicit flush callback via ND_REGION_ASYNC region flag, then nvdimm_has_flush() still returns '0' indicating that writes do not require flushing. This happens on PPC64 with patch at [1] applied, where 'deep_flush' of a region was denied even though an explicit flush function was provided. Fix this by adding a condition to nvdimm_has_flush() to test for the ND_REGION_ASYNC flag on the region and see if a 'region->flush' callback is assigned.

libnvdimm: Notify disk drivers to revalidate region read-only

2021-04-09T05:18:36Z

Previous kernels allowed the BLKROSET to override the disk's read-only status. With that situation fixed the pmem driver needs to rely on notification events to reevaluate the disk read-only status after the host region has been marked read-write. Recall that when libnvdimm determines that the persistent memory has lost persistence (for example lack of energy to flush from DRAM to FLASH on an NVDIMM-N device) it marks the region read-only, but that state can be overridden by the user via: echo 0 > /sys/bus/nd/devices/regionX/read_only ...to date there is no notification that the region has restored persistence, so the user override is the only recovery.

libnvdimm/nvdimm/flush: Allow architecture to override the flush barrier

2020-07-16T03:00:22Z

Architectures like ppc64 provide persistent memory specific barriers that will ensure that all stores for which the modifications are written to persistent storage by preceding dcbfps and dcbstps instructions have updated persistent storage before any data access or data transfer caused by subsequent instructions is initiated. This is in addition to the ordering done by wmb() Update nvdimm core such that architecture can use barriers other than wmb to ensure all previous writes are architecturally visible for the platform buffer flush.

nvdimm/region: always show the 'align' attribute

2020-06-17T21:08:31Z

It is possible that a platform that is capable of 'namespace labels' comes up without the labels properly initialized. In this case, the region's 'align' attribute is hidden. Howerver, once the user does initialize he labels, the 'align' attribute still stays hidden, which is unexpected. The sysfs_update_group() API is meant to address this, and could be called during region probe, but it has entanglements with the device 'lockdep_mutex'. Therefore, simply make the 'align' attribute always visible. It doesn't matter what it says for label-less namespaces, since it is not possible to change their allocation anyway.

libnvdimm/region: Introduce an 'align' attribute

2020-03-17T19:23:21Z

The align attribute applies an alignment constraint for namespace creation in a region. Whereas the 'align' attribute of a namespace applied alignment padding via an info block, the 'align' attribute applies alignment constraints to the free space allocation. The default for 'align' is the maximum known memremap_compat_align() across all archs (16MiB from PowerPC at time of writing) multiplied by the number of interleave ways if there is blk-aliasing. The minimum is PAGE_SIZE and allows for the creation of cross-arch incompatible namespaces, just as previous kernels allowed, but the expectation is cross-arch and mode-independent compatibility by default. The regression risk with this change is limited to cases that were dependent on the ability to create unaligned namespaces, *and* for some reason are unable to opt-out of aligned namespaces by writing to 'regionX/align'. If such a scenario arises the default can be flipped from opt-out to opt-in of compat-aligned namespace creation, but that is a last resort. The kernel will otherwise continue to support existing defined misaligned namespaces. Unfortunately this change needs to touch several parts of the implementation at once: - region/available_size: expand busy extents to current align - region/max_available_extent: expand busy extents to current align - namespace/size: trim free space to current align ...to keep the free space accounting conforming to the dynamic align setting.

libnvdimm/region: Introduce NDD_LABELING

2020-03-17T19:23:21Z

The NDD_ALIASING flag is used to indicate where pmem capacity might alias with blk capacity and require labeling. It is also used to indicate whether the DIMM supports labeling. Separate this latter capability into its own flag so that the NDD_ALIASING flag is scoped to true aliased configurations. To my knowledge aliased configurations only exist in the ACPI spec, there are no known platforms that ship this support in production. This clarity allows namespace-capacity alignment constraints around interleave-ways to be relaxed.
