b3b454f694 libnvdimm: fix clear poison locking with spinlock and GFP_NOWAIT allocation
The following warning results from holding a lane spinlock,
preempt_disable(), or the btt map spinlock and then trying to take the
reconfig_mutex to walk the poison list and potentially add new entries.

A spinlock is introduced to protect the poison list. This allows us to not
having to acquire the reconfig_mutex for touching the poison list. The
add_poison() function has been broken out into two helper functions. One to
allocate the poison entry and the other to apppend the entry. This allows us
to unlock the poison_lock in non-I/O path and continue to be able to allocate
the poison entry with GFP_KERNEL. We will use GFP_NOWAIT in the I/O path in
order to satisfy being in atomic context.

762d067dba libnvdimm, namespace: enable allocation of multiple pmem namespaces
Now that we have nd_region_available_dpa() able to handle the presence
of multiple PMEM allocations in aliased PMEM regions, reuse that same
infrastructure to track allocations from free space.  In particular
handle allocating from an aliased PMEM region in the case where there
are dis-contiguous holes.  The allocation for BLK and PMEM are
documented in the space_valid() helper:

    BLK-space is valid as long as it does not precede a PMEM
    allocation in a given region. PMEM-space must be contiguous
    and adjacent to an existing existing allocation (if one
    exists).

a1f3e4d6a0 libnvdimm, region: update nd_region_available_dpa() for multi-pmem support
The free dpa (dimm-physical-address) space calculation reports how much
free space is available with consideration for aliased BLK + PMEM
regions.  Recall that BLK capacity is allocated from high addresses and
PMEM is allocated from low addresses in their respective regions.

nd_region_available_dpa() accounts for the fact that the largest
encroachment (lowest starting address) into PMEM capacity by a BLK
allocation limits the available capacity to that point, regardless if
there is BLK allocation hole at a higher address.  Similarly, for the
multi-pmem case we need to track the largest encroachment (highest
 ending address) of a PMEM allocation in BLK capacity regardless of
whether there is an allocation hole that a BLK allocation could fill at
a lower address.

29b9aa0aa3 libnvdimm: introduce devm_nvdimm_memremap(), convert nfit_spa_map() users
In preparation for generically mapping flush hint addresses for both the
BLK and PMEM use case, provide a generic / reference counted mapping
api.  Given the fact that a dimm may belong to multiple regions (PMEM
and BLK), the flush hint addresses need to be held valid as long as any
region associated with the dimm is active.  This is similar to the
existing BLK-region case where multiple BLK-regions may share an
aperture mapping.  Up-level this shared / reference-counted mapping
capability from the nfit driver to a core nvdimm capability.

This eliminates the need for the nd_blk_region.disable() callback.  Note
that the removal of nfit_spa_map() and related infrastructure is
deferred to a later patch.

047fc8a1f9 libnvdimm, nfit, nd_blk: driver for BLK-mode access persistent memory
The libnvdimm implementation handles allocating dimm address space (DPA)
between PMEM and BLK mode interfaces.  After DPA has been allocated from
a BLK-region to a BLK-namespace the nd_blk driver attaches to handle I/O
as a struct bio based block device. Unlike PMEM, BLK is required to
handle platform specific details like mmio register formats and memory
controller interleave.  For this reason the libnvdimm generic nd_blk
driver calls back into the bus provider to carry out the I/O.

This initial implementation handles the BLK interface defined by the
ACPI 6 NFIT [1] and the NVDIMM DSM Interface Example [2] composed from
DCR (dimm control region), BDW (block data window), IDT (interleave
descriptor) NFIT structures and the hardware register format.

8c2f7e8658 libnvdimm: infrastructure for btt devices
NVDIMM namespaces, in addition to accepting "struct bio" based requests,
also have the capability to perform byte-aligned accesses.  By default
only the bio/block interface is used.  However, if another driver can
make effective use of the byte-aligned capability it can claim namespace
interface and use the byte-aligned ->rw_bytes() interface.

The BTT driver is the initial first consumer of this mechanism to allow
adding atomic sector update semantics to a pmem or blk namespace.  This
patch is the sysfs infrastructure to allow configuring a BTT instance
for a namespace.  Enabling that BTT and performing i/o is in a
subsequent patch.

set to valid values the labels on the dimm can be updated.  The
difference with the pmem case is that blk namespaces are limited to one

Also, after allocating label slots, it is useful for userspace to know
how many slots are left.  Export this information in sysfs.

1b40e09a12 libnvdimm: blk labels and namespace instantiation
A blk label set describes a namespace comprised of one or more
discontiguous dpa ranges on a single dimm.  They may alias with one or
more pmem interleave sets that include the given dimm.

This is the runtime/volatile configuration infrastructure for sysfs
manipulation of 'alt_name', 'uuid', 'size', and 'sector_size'.  A later
patch will make these settings persistent by writing back the label(s).

Unlike pmem namespaces, multiple blk namespaces can be created per
region.  Once a blk namespace has been created a new seed device
(unconfigured child of a parent blk region) is instantiated.  As long as
a region has 'available_size' != 0 new child namespaces may be created.

Note that PMEM allocations grow forwards from the start of an interleave

with a PMEM interleave set will grow allocations backward from the

eaf961536e libnvdimm, nfit: add interleave-set state-tracking infrastructure
On platforms that have firmware support for reading/writing per-dimm
label space, a portion of the dimm may be accessible via an interleave
set PMEM mapping in addition to the dimm's BLK (block-data-window
aperture(s)) interface.  A label, stored in a "configuration data
region" on the dimm, disambiguates which dimm addresses are accessed
through which exclusive interface.

Add infrastructure that allows the kernel to block modifications to a
label in the set while any member dimm is active.  Note that this is
meant only for enforcing "no modifications of active labels" via the
coarse ioctl command.  Adding/deleting namespaces from an active
interleave set is always possible via sysfs.

Another aspect of tracking interleave sets is tracking their integrity
when DIMMs in a set are physically re-ordered.  For this purpose we
generate an "interleave-set cookie" that can be recorded in a label and
validated against the current configuration.  It is the bus provider
implementation's responsibility to calculate the interleave set cookie
and attach it to a given region.

3d88002e4a libnvdimm: support for legacy (non-aliasing) nvdimms
The libnvdimm region driver is an intermediary driver that translates
non-volatile "region"s into "namespace" sub-devices that are surfaced by
persistent memory block-device drivers (PMEM and BLK).

ACPI 6 introduces the concept that a given nvdimm may simultaneously
offer multiple access modes to its media through direct PMEM load/store
access, or windowed BLK mode.  Existing nvdimms mostly implement a PMEM
interface, some offer a BLK-like mode, but never both as ACPI 6 defines.
If an nvdimm is single interfaced, then there is no need for dimm
metadata labels.  For these devices we can take the region boundaries
directly to create a child namespace device (nd_namespace_io).

1f7df6f88b libnvdimm, nfit: regions (block-data-window, persistent memory, volatile memory)
A "region" device represents the maximum capacity of a BLK range (mmio
block-data-window(s)), or a PMEM range (DAX-capable persistent memory or
volatile memory), without regard for aliasing.  Aliasing, in the
dimm-local address space (DPA), is resolved by metadata on a dimm to
designate which exclusive interface will access the aliased DPA ranges.
Support for the per-dimm metadata/label arrvies is in a subsequent
patch.

The name format of "region" devices is "regionN" where, like dimms, N is
a global ida index assigned at discovery time.  This id is not reliable
across reboots nor in the presence of hotplug.  Look to attributes of
the region or static id-data of the sub-namespace to generate a
persistent name.  However, if the platform configuration does not change
it is reasonable to expect the same region id to be assigned at the next
boot.

"region"s have 2 generic attributes "size", and "mapping"s where:
- size: the BLK accessible capacity or the span of the
  system physical address range in the case of PMEM.

- mappingN: a tuple describing a dimm's contribution to the region's
  capacity in the format (<nmemX>,<dpa>,<size>).  For a PMEM-region
  there will be at least one mapping per dimm in the interleave set.  For
  a BLK-region there is only "mapping0" listing the starting DPA of the
  BLK-region and the available DPA capacity of that space (matches "size"
  above).

The max number of mappings per "region" is hard coded per the
constraints of sysfs attribute groups.  That said the number of mappings
per region should never exceed the maximum number of possible dimms in
the system.  If the current number turns out to not be enough then the
"mappings" attribute clarifies how many there are supposed to be. "32
should be enough for anybody...".

4d88a97aa9 libnvdimm, nvdimm: dimm driver and base libnvdimm device-driver infrastructure
* Implement the device-model infrastructure for loading modules and

  number is to support sub-types within a given parent devtype, be it a
  vendor-specific sub-type or otherwise.

* The first consumer of this infrastructure is the driver
  for dimm devices.  It simply uses control messages to retrieve and
  store the configuration-data image (label set) from each dimm.

Note: nd_device_register() arranges for asynchronous registration of

62232e45f4 libnvdimm: control (ioctl) messages for nvdimm_bus and nvdimm devices
Most discovery/configuration of the nvdimm-subsystem is done via sysfs
attributes.  However, some nvdimm_bus instances, particularly the
ACPI.NFIT bus, define a small set of messages that can be passed to the
platform.  For convenience we derive the initial libnvdimm-ioctl command
formats directly from the NFIT DSM Interface Example formats.

    ND_CMD_SMART: media health and diagnostics
    ND_CMD_GET_CONFIG_SIZE: size of the label space
    ND_CMD_GET_CONFIG_DATA: read label space
    ND_CMD_SET_CONFIG_DATA: write label space
    ND_CMD_VENDOR: vendor-specific command passthrough
    ND_CMD_ARS_CAP: report address-range-scrubbing capabilities
    ND_CMD_ARS_START: initiate scrubbing
    ND_CMD_ARS_STATUS: report on scrubbing state
    ND_CMD_SMART_THRESHOLD: configure alarm thresholds for smart events

If a platform later defines different commands than this set it is
straightforward to extend support to those formats.

Most of the commands target a specific dimm.  However, the
address-range-scrubbing commands target the bus.  The 'commands'
attribute in sysfs of an nvdimm_bus, or nvdimm, enumerate the supported
commands for that object.

control messages.  The initial command set has a 1:1 correlation with
the commands listed in the by the "NFIT DSM Example" document [1], but
this scheme is extensible to future command sets.

Note, nd_ioctl() and the backing ->ndctl() implementation are defined in
a subsequent patch.  This is simply the initial registrations and sysfs
attributes.

b94d5230d0 libnvdimm, nfit: initial libnvdimm infrastructure and NFIT support
A struct nvdimm_bus is the anchor device for registering nvdimm
resources and interfaces, for example, a character control device,
nvdimm devices, and I/O region devices.  The ACPI NFIT (NVDIMM Firmware
Interface Table) is one possible platform description for such
non-volatile memory resources in a system.  The nfit.ko driver attaches
to the "ACPI0012" device that indicates the presence of the NFIT and
parses the table to register a struct nvdimm_bus instance.
