Some environments want to use a host tmpfs/ramdisk to back guest pmem.
While the data is not persisted relative to the host it *is* persisted
relative to guest crashes / reboots. The guest is free to use dax and
MAP_SYNC to keep filesystem metadata consistent with dax accesses
without requiring guest fsync(). The guest can also observe that the
region is volatile and skip cache flushing as global visibility is
enough to "persist" data relative to the host staying alive over guest
reset events.

since we skip bad block init for volatile regions.

The nd_region_probe_success() helper collides seed management with
nvdimm->busy tracking. Given the 'busy' increment is handled internal to the
nd_region driver 'probe' path move the decrement to the 'remove' path.
With that cleanup the routine can be renamed to the more descriptive
nd_region_advance_seeds().
The change is prompted by an incoming need to optionally advance the
seeds on other events besides 'probe' success.

One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding
the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along
with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example:
struct nd_region {
...
struct nd_mapping mapping[0];
};
instance = kzalloc(sizeof(struct nd_region) + sizeof(struct nd_mapping) *
count, GFP_KERNEL);
Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can
now use the new struct_size() helper:
instance = kzalloc(struct_size(instance, mapping, count), GFP_KERNEL);
This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.

Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:
"A collection of locking and async operations fixes for v5.3-rc2. These
had been soaking in a branch targeting the merge window, but missed
due to a regression hunt. This fixed up version has otherwise been in
-next this past week with no reported issues.
In order to gain confidence in the locking changes the pull also
includes a debug / instrumentation patch to enable lockdep coverage
for libnvdimm subsystem operations that depend on the device_lock for
exclusion. As mentioned in the changelog it is a hack, but it works
and documents the locking expectations of the sub-system in a way that
others can use lockdep to verify. The driver core touches got an ack
from Greg.
Summary:
- Fix duplicate device_unregister() calls (multiple threads competing
to do unregister work when scheduling device removal from a sysfs
attribute of the self-same device).
- Fix badblocks registration order bug. Ensure region badblocks are
initialized in advance of namespace registration.
- Fix a deadlock between the bus lock and probe operations.

* tag 'libnvdimm-fixes-5.3-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm:
driver-core, libnvdimm: Let device subsystems add local lockdep coverage
libnvdimm/bus: Fix wait_nvdimm_bus_probe_idle() ABBA deadlock
libnvdimm/bus: Stop holding nvdimm_bus_list_mutex over __nd_ioctl()
libnvdimm/bus: Prepare the nd_ioctl() path to be re-entrant
libnvdimm/region: Register badblocks before namespaces
libnvdimm/bus: Prevent duplicate device_unregister() calls
drivers/base: Introduce kill_device()
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."

In this sequence an 'nd_dax' device is being probed and trying to take
the lock on its backing namespace to validate that the 'nd_dax' device
indeed has exclusive access to the backing namespace. Meanwhile, another
thread is trying to update the uuid property of that same backing
namespace. So one thread is in the probe path trying to acquire the
lock, and the other thread has acquired the lock and tries to flush the
probe path.
Fix this deadlock by not holding the namespace device_lock over the
wait_nvdimm_bus_probe_idle() synchronization step. In turn this requires
the device_lock to be held on entry to wait_nvdimm_bus_probe_idle() and
subsequently dropped internally to wait_nvdimm_bus_probe_idle().

Pull device-dax updates from Dan Williams:
"New device-dax infrastructure to allow persistent memory and other
"reserved" / performance differentiated memories, to be assigned to
the core-mm as "System RAM".
Some users want to use persistent memory as additional volatile
memory. They are willing to cope with potential performance
differences, for example between DRAM and 3D Xpoint, and want to use
typical Linux memory management apis rather than a userspace memory
allocator layered over an mmap() of a dax file. The administration
model is to decide how much Persistent Memory (pmem) to use as System
RAM, create a device-dax-mode namespace of that size, and then assign
it to the core-mm. The rationale for device-dax is that it is a
generic memory-mapping driver that can be layered over any "special
purpose" memory, not just pmem. On subsequent boots udev rules can be
used to restore the memory assignment.
One implication of using pmem as RAM is that mlock() no longer keeps
data off persistent media. For this reason it is recommended to enable
NVDIMM Security (previously merged for 5.0) to encrypt pmem contents
at rest. We considered making this recommendation an actively enforced
requirement, but in the end decided to leave it as a distribution /
administrator policy to allow for emulation and test environments that
lack security capable NVDIMMs.
Summary:
- Replace the /sys/class/dax device model with /sys/bus/dax, and
include a compat driver so distributions can opt-in to the new ABI.
- Allow for an alternative driver for the device-dax address-range
- Introduce the 'kmem' driver to hotplug / assign a device-dax
address-range to the core-mm.
- Arrange for the device-dax target-node to be onlined so that the
newly added memory range can be uniquely referenced by numa apis"
NOTE! I'm not entirely happy with the whole "PMEM as RAM" model because
we currently have special - and very annoying rules in the kernel about
accessing PMEM only with the "MC safe" accessors, because machine checks
inside the regular repeat string copy functions can be fatal in some
(not described) circumstances.
And apparently the PMEM modules can cause that a lot more than regular
RAM. The argument is that this happens because PMEM doesn't necessarily
get scrubbed at boot like RAM does, but that is planned to be added for
the user space tooling.
Quoting Dan from another email:
"The exposure can be reduced in the volatile-RAM case by scanning for
and clearing errors before it is onlined as RAM. The userspace tooling
for that can be in place before v5.1-final. There's also runtime
notifications of errors via acpi_nfit_uc_error_notify() from
background scrubbers on the DIMM devices. With that mechanism the
kernel could proactively clear newly discovered poison in the volatile
case, but that would be additional development more suitable for v5.2.
I understand the concern, and the need to highlight this issue by
tapping the brakes on feature development, but I don't see PMEM as RAM
making the situation worse when the exposure is also there via DAX in
the PMEM case. Volatile-RAM is arguably a safer use case since it's
possible to repair pages where the persistent case needs active
application coordination"

Persistent memory, as described by the ACPI NFIT (NVDIMM Firmware
Interface Table), is the first known instance of a memory range
described by a unique "target" proximity domain. Where "initiator" and
"target" proximity domains is an approach that the ACPI HMAT
(Heterogeneous Memory Attributes Table) uses to described the unique
performance properties of a memory range relative to a given initiator
(e.g. CPU or DMA device).
Currently the numa-node for a /dev/pmemX block-device or /dev/daxX.Y
char-device follows the traditional notion of 'numa-node' where the
attribute conveys the closest online numa-node. That numa-node attribute
is useful for cpu-binding and memory-binding processes *near* the
device. However, when the memory range backing a 'pmem', or 'dax' device
is onlined (memory hot-add) the memory-only-numa-node representing that
address needs to be differentiated from the set of online nodes. In
other words, the numa-node association of the device depends on whether
you can bind processes *near* the cpu-numa-node in the offline
device-case, or bind process *on* the memory-range directly after the
backing address range is onlined.
Allow for the case that platform firmware describes persistent memory
with a unique proximity domain, i.e. when it is distinct from the
proximity of DRAM and CPUs that are on the same socket. Plumb the Linux
numa-node translation of that proximity through the libnvdimm region
device to namespaces that are in device-dax mode. With this in place the
proposed kmem driver [1] can optionally discover a unique numa-node

* Cleanup the libnvdimm init path.
Add support for the NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL "ovewrite" capability as
described by the Intel DSM spec v1.7. This will allow triggering of
overwrite on Intel NVDIMMs. The overwrite operation can take tens of
minutes. When the overwrite DSM is issued successfully, the NVDIMMs will
be unaccessible. The kernel will do backoff polling to detect when the
overwrite process is completed. According to the DSM spec v1.7, the 128G
NVDIMMs can take up to 15mins to perform overwrite and larger DIMMs will
take longer.
Given that overwrite puts the DIMM in an indeterminate state until it
completes introduce the NDD_SECURITY_OVERWRITE flag to prevent other
operations from executing when overwrite is happening. The
NDD_WORK_PENDING flag is added to denote that there is a device reference
on the nvdimm device for an async workqueue thread context.

Commit cfe30b8720 "libnvdimm, pmem: adjust for section collisions with
'System RAM'" enabled Linux to workaround occasions where platform
firmware arranges for "System RAM" and "Persistent Memory" to collide
within a single section boundary. Unfortunately, as reported in this
issue [1], platform firmware can inflict the same collision between
persistent memory regions.
The approach of interrogating iomem_resource does not work in this
case because platform firmware may merge multiple regions into a single
iomem_resource range. Instead provide a method to interrogate regions
that share the same parent bus.
This is a stop-gap until the core-MM can grow support for hotplug on
sub-section boundaries.

5fdf8e5ba5 ("libnvdimm: re-enable deep flush for pmem devices via fsync()")
intended to make sure that deep flush was always available even on

side effect of this change was that we also lost the ability to skip
flushing CPU caches on those power-fail protected CPU cache.
Fix this by skipping the low level cache flushing in dax_flush() if we have
CPU caches which are power-fail protected. The user can still override this
behavior by manually setting the write_cache state of a namespace. See
libndctl's ndctl_namespace_write_cache_is_enabled(),

The persistence domain is a point in the platform where once writes
reach that destination the platform claims it will make them persistent

Power Loss Capable" implies bit1 "Memory Controller Flush to NVDIMM

The pmem driver has a need to transfer data with a persistent memory
destination and be able to rely on the fact that the destination writes are not
cached. It is sufficient for the writes to be flushed to a cpu-store-buffer
(non-temporal / "movnt" in x86 terms), as we expect userspace to call fsync()
to ensure data-writes have reached a power-fail-safe zone in the platform. The
fsync() triggers a REQ_FUA or REQ_FLUSH to the pmem driver which will turn
around and fence previous writes with an "sfence".
Implement a __copy_from_user_inatomic_flushcache, memcpy_page_flushcache, and
memcpy_flushcache, that guarantee that the destination buffer is not dirty in
the cpu cache on completion. The new copy_from_iter_flushcache and sub-routines
will be used to replace the "pmem api" (include/linux/pmem.h +
arch/x86/include/asm/pmem.h). The availability of copy_from_iter_flushcache()
and memcpy_flushcache() are gated by the CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_UACCESS_FLUSHCACHE
config symbol, and fallback to copy_from_iter_nocache() and plain memcpy()
otherwise.
This is meant to satisfy the concern from Linus that if a driver wants to do
something beyond the normal nocache semantics it should be something private to
that driver [1], and Al's concern that anything uaccess related belongs with
the rest of the uaccess code [2].
The first consumer of this interface is a new 'copy_from_iter' dax operation so
that pmem can inject cache maintenance operations without imposing this
overhead on other dax-capable drivers.

Toshi noticed that the new support for a region-level badblocks missed
the case where errors are cleared due to BTT I/O.
An initial attempt to fix this ran into a "sleeping while atomic"
warning due to taking the nvdimm_bus_lock() in the BTT I/O path to
satisfy the locking requirements of __nvdimm_bus_badblocks_clear().
However, that lock is not needed since we are not acting on any data that
is subject to change under that lock. The badblocks instance has its own
internal lock to handle mutations of the error list.
So, in order to make it clear that we are just acting on region devices,
rename __nvdimm_bus_badblocks_clear() to nvdimm_clear_badblocks_regions().
Eliminate the lock and consolidate all support routines for the new
nvdimm_account_cleared_poison() in drivers/nvdimm/bus.c. Finally, to the
opportunity to cleanup to some unnecessary casts, make the calling
convention of nvdimm_clear_badblocks_regions() clearer by replacing struct
resource with the minimal struct clear_badblocks_context, and use the
DEVICE_ATTR macro.

The nvdimm_flush() mechanism helps to reduce the impact of an ADR
(asynchronous-dimm-refresh) failure. The ADR mechanism handles flushing
platform WPQ (write-pending-queue) buffers when power is removed. The
nvdimm_flush() mechanism performs that same function on-demand.
When a pmem namespace is associated with a block device, an
nvdimm_flush() is triggered with every block-layer REQ_FUA, or REQ_FLUSH
request. These requests are typically associated with filesystem
metadata updates. However, when a namespace is in device-dax mode,
userspace (think database metadata) needs another path to perform the
same flushing. In other words this is not required to make data
persistent, but in the case of metadata it allows for a smaller failure
domain in the unlikely event of an ADR failure.
The new 'deep_flush' attribute is visible when the individual DIMMs
backing a given interleave-set are described by platform firmware. In
ACPI terms this is "NVDIMM Region Mapping Structures" and associated
"Flush Hint Address Structures". Reads return "1" if the region supports
triggering WPQ flushes on all DIMMs. Reads return "0" the flush
operation is a platform nop, and in that case the attribute is
read-only.
Why sysfs and not an ioctl? An ioctl requires establishing a new
ioctl function number space for device-dax. Given that this would be
called on a device-dax fd an application could be forgiven for
accidentally calling this on a filesystem-dax fd. Placing this interface
in libnvdimm sysfs removes that potential for collision with a
filesystem ioctl, and it keeps ioctls out of the generic device-dax
implementation.

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.
