This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O. The
block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and
request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node
is open. Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm
passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code).
For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists
once per block device. But given that the block layer also does
partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is
used for said remapping in generic_make_request.
Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or
sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all
over the stack.

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.

In support of improved interoperability between operating systems and pre-boot

adopted and modified to the the UEFI 2.7 NVDIMM Label Protocol [2].
Update the definitions of the namespace label data structures so that the new
format can be supported alongside the existing label format.
The new specification changes the default label size to 256 bytes, so
everywhere that relied on sizeof(struct nd_namespace_label) must now use the
sizeof_namespace_label() helper.
There should be no functional differences from these changes as the
default is still the v1.1 128-byte format. Future patches will move the
default to the v1.2 definition.

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.

Upon detection of an unarmed dimm in a region, arrange for descendant

"unarmed" via flags passed by platform firmware (NFIT).
The flags in the NFIT memory device sub-structure indicate the state of
the data on the nvdimm relative to its energy source or last "flush to
persistence". For the most part there is nothing the driver can do but
advertise the state of these flags in sysfs and emit a message if
firmware indicates that the contents of the device may be corrupted.
However, for the case of ACPI_NFIT_MEM_ARMED, the driver can arrange for
the block devices incorporating that nvdimm to be marked read-only.
This is a safe default as the data is still available and new writes are
held off until the administrator either forces read-write mode, or the
energy source becomes armed.

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.
