59858d3d54 libnvdimm, namespace: remove redundant initialization of 'nd_mapping'
Pointer nd_mapping is being initialized to a value that is never read,
instead it is being updated to a new value in all the cases where it
is being read afterwards, hence the initialization is redundant and
can be removed.

33a5608671 libnvdimm, namespace: fix btt claim class crash
Maurice reports:

    BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000028
    IP: holder_class_store+0x253/0x2b0 [libnvdimm]

...while trying to reconfigure an NVDIMM-N namespace into 'sector' /
'btt' mode. The crash points to this line:

    (gdb) li *(holder_class_store+0x253)
    0x7773 is in holder_class_store (drivers/nvdimm/namespace_devs.c:1420).

...where we are failing because ndd is NULL due to NVDIMM-N dimms not

Long story short, default to the BTTv1 format in the label-less /
NVDIMM-N case.

b3fde74ea1 libnvdimm, label: add address abstraction identifiers
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.

86ef58a4e3 nfit, libnvdimm: fix interleave set cookie calculation
The interleave-set cookie is a sum that sanity checks the composition of
an interleave set has not changed from when the namespace was initially
created.  The checksum is calculated by sorting the DIMMs by their
location in the interleave-set. The comparison for the sort must be
64-bit wide, not byte-by-byte as performed by memcmp() in the broken
case.

Fix the implementation to accept correct cookie values in addition to
the Linux "memcmp" order cookies, but only allow correct cookies to be
generated going forward. It does mean that namespaces created by
third-party-tooling, or created by newer kernels with this fix, will not
validate on older kernels. However, there are a couple mitigating
conditions:

    1/ platforms with namespace-label capable NVDIMMs are not widely
       available.

    2/ interleave-sets with a single-dimm are by definition not affected
       (nothing to sort). This covers the QEMU-KVM NVDIMM emulation case.

The cookie stored in the namespace label will be fixed by any write the
namespace label, the most straightforward way to achieve this is to
write to the "alt_name" attribute of a namespace in sysfs.

9d032f4201 libnvdimm, namespace: do not delete namespace-id 0
Given that the naming of pmem devices changes from the pmemX form to the
pmemX.Y form when namespace id is greater than 0, arrange for namespaces
with id-0 to be exempt from deletion. Otherwise a simple reconfiguration
of an existing namespace to a new mode results in a name change of the
resulting block device:

    # ndctl list --namespace=namespace1.0
    {
      "dev":"namespace1.0",
      "mode":"raw",
      "size":2147483648,
      "uuid":"3dadf3dc-89b9-4b24-b20e-abc8a4707ce3",
      "blockdev":"pmem1"
    }

    # ndctl create-namespace --reconfig=namespace1.0 --mode=memory --force
    {
      "dev":"namespace1.1",
      "mode":"memory",
      "size":2111832064,
      "uuid":"7b4a6341-7318-4219-a02c-fb57c0bbf613",
      "blockdev":"pmem1.1"
    }

This change does require tooling changes to explicitly look for
namespaceX.0 if the seed has already advanced to another namespace.

When btt devices were re-worked to be child devices of regions this
routine was overlooked.  It mistakenly attempts to_nd_namespace_pmem()
or to_nd_namespace_blk() conversions on btt and pfn devices.  By luck to
date we have happened to be hitting valid memory leading to a uuid
miscompare, but a recent change to struct nd_namespace_common causes:

0731de0dd9 libnvdimm, pfn: move 'memory mode' indication to sysfs
'Memory mode' is defined as the capability of a DAX mapping to be the
source/target of DMA and other "direct I/O" scenarios.  While it
currently requires allocating 'struct page' for each page frame of
persistent memory in the namespace it will not always be the case.  Work
continues on reducing the kernel's dependency on 'struct page'.

Let's not maintain a suffix that is expected to lose meaning over time.
In other words a future 'raw mode' pmem namespace may be as capable as
today's 'memory mode' namespace.  Undo the encoding of the mode in the
device name and leave it to other tooling to determine the mode of the
namespace from its attributes.

bd26d0d0ce nvdimm: improve diagnosibility of namespaces
In order to bind namespace to the driver user must first
set all mandatory attributes in the following order:
- uuid
- size
- sector_size (for blk namespace only)

If the order is wrong, then user either won't be able to set
the attribute or bind the namespace.

This simple patch improves diagnosibility of common operations
with namespaces by printing some details about the error
instead of failing silently.

Below are examples of error messages (assuming dyndbg is
enabled for nvdimms):

[/]# echo 4194304 > /sys/bus/nd/devices/region5/namespace5.0/size
[  288.372612] nd namespace5.0: __size_store: uuid not set

004f1afbe1 libnvdimm, pmem: direct map legacy pmem by default
The expectation is that the legacy / non-standard pmem discovery method
(e820 type-12) will only ever be used to describe small quantities of
persistent memory.  Larger capacities will be described via the ACPI
NFIT.  When "allocate struct page from pmem" support is added this default
policy can be overridden by assigning a legacy pmem namespace to a pfn
device, however this would be only be necessary if a platform used the
legacy mechanism to define a very large range.

e1455744b2 libnvdimm, pfn: 'struct page' provider infrastructure
Implement the base infrastructure for libnvdimm PFN devices. Similar to
BTT devices they take a namespace as a backing device and layer
functionality on top. In this case the functionality is reserving space
for an array of 'struct page' entries to be handed out through
pfn_to_page(). For now this is just the basic libnvdimm-device-model for
configuring the base PFN device.

As the namespace claiming mechanism for PFN devices is mostly identical
to BTT devices drivers/nvdimm/claim.c is created to house the common
bits.

6ec689542b libnvdimm, btt: write and validate parent_uuid
When a BTT is instantiated on a namespace it must validate the namespace
uuid matches the 'parent_uuid' stored in the btt superblock. This
property enforces that changing the namespace UUID invalidates all
former BTT instances on that storage. For "IO namespaces" that don't
have a label or UUID, the parent_uuid is set to zero, and this
validation is skipped. For such cases, old BTTs have to be invalidated
by forcing the namespace to raw mode, and overwriting the BTT info
blocks.

74ae66c3b1 libnvdimm: Add sysfs numa_node to NVDIMM devices
Add support of sysfs 'numa_node' to I/O-related NVDIMM devices
under /sys/bus/nd/devices, regionN, namespaceN.0, and bttN.x.

An example of numa_node values on a 2-socket system with a single
NVDIMM range on each socket is shown below.
  /sys/bus/nd/devices
  |-- btt0.0/numa_node:0
  |-- btt1.0/numa_node:1
  |-- btt1.1/numa_node:1
  |-- namespace0.0/numa_node:0
  |-- namespace1.0/numa_node:1
  |-- region0/numa_node:0
  |-- region1/numa_node:1

These numa_node files are then linked under the block class of
their device names.
  /sys/class/block/pmem0/device/numa_node:0
  /sys/class/block/pmem1s/device/numa_node:1

This enables numactl(8) to accept 'block:' and 'file:' paths of
pmem and btt devices as shown in the examples below.
  numactl --preferred block:pmem0 --show
  numactl --preferred file:/dev/pmem1s --show
