dax: check for QUEUE_FLAG_DAX in bdev_dax_supported()
Add an explicit check for QUEUE_FLAG_DAX to __bdev_dax_supported(). This
is needed for DM configurations where the first element in the dm-linear or
dm-stripe target supports DAX, but other elements do not. Without this
check __bdev_dax_supported() will pass for such devices, letting a
filesystem on that device mount with the DAX option.

libnvdimm for 4.18
* DAX broke a fundamental assumption of truncate of file mapped pages. The truncate path assumed that it is safe to disconnect a pinned page from a file and let the filesystem reclaim the physical block. With DAX the page is equivalent to the filesystem block. Introduce dax_layout_busy_page() to enable filesystems to wait for pinned DAX pages to be released. Without this wait a filesystem could allocate blocks under active device-DMA to a new file. * DAX arranges for the block layer to be bypassed and uses dax_direct_access() + copy_to_iter() to satisfy read(2) calls. However, the memcpy_mcsafe() facility is available through the pmem block driver. In order to safely handle media errors, via the DAX block-layer bypass, introduce copy_to_iter_mcsafe(). * Fix cache management policy relative to the ACPI NFIT Platform Capabilities Structure to properly elide cache flushes when they are not necessary. The table indicates whether CPU caches are power-fail protected. Clarify that a deep flush is always performed on REQ_{FUA,PREFLUSH} requests. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAABAgAGBQJbGxI7AAoJEB7SkWpmfYgCDjsP/2Lcibu9Kf4tKIzuInsle6iE 6qP29qlkpHVTpDKbhvIxTYTYL9sMU0DNUrpPCJR/EYdeyztLWDFC5EAT1wF240vf maV37s/uP331jSC/2VJnKWzBs2ztQxmKLEIQCxh6aT0qs9cbaOvJgB/WlVu+qtsl aGJFLmb6vdQacp31noU5plKrMgMA1pADyF5qx9I9K2HwowHE7T368ZEFS/3S//c3 LXmpx/Nfq52sGu/qbRbu6B1CTJhIGhmarObyQnvBYoKntK1Ov4e8DS95wD3EhNDe FuRkOCUKhjl6cFy7QVWh1ct1bFm84ny+b4/AtbpOmv9l/+0mveJ7e+5mu8HQTifT wYiEe2xzXJ+OG/xntv8SvlZKMpjP3BqI0jYsTutsjT4oHrciiXdXM186cyS+BiGp KtFmWyncQJgfiTq6+Hj5XpP9BapNS+OYdYgUagw9ZwzdzptuGFYUMSVOBrYrn6c/ fwqtxjubykJoW0P3pkIoT91arFSea7nxOKnGwft06imQ7TwR4ARsI308feQ9itJq 2P2e7/20nYMsw2aRaUDDA70Yu+Lagn1m8WL87IybUGeUDLb1BAkjphAlWa6COJ+u PhvAD2tvyM9m0c7O5Mytvz7iWKG6SVgatoAyOPkaeplQK8khZ+wEpuK58sO6C1w8 4GBvt9ri9i/Ww/A+ppWs =4bfw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams: "This adds a user for the new 'bytes-remaining' updates to memcpy_mcsafe() that you already received through Ingo via the x86-dax- for-linus pull.

treewide: Use struct_size() for kmalloc()-family
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 foo { int stuff; void *entry[]; }; instance = kmalloc(sizeof(struct foo) + sizeof(void *) * count, GFP_KERNEL); Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can now use the new struct_size() helper: instance = kmalloc(struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL); This patch makes the changes for kmalloc()-family (and kvmalloc()-family) uses. It was done via automatic conversion with manual review for the "CHECKME" non-standard cases noted below, using the following Coccinelle script: // pkey_cache = kmalloc(sizeof *pkey_cache + tprops->pkey_tbl_len * // sizeof *pkey_cache->table, GFP_KERNEL); @@ identifier alloc =~ "kmalloc|kzalloc|kvmalloc|kvzalloc"; expression GFP; identifier VAR, ELEMENT; expression COUNT; @@ - alloc(sizeof(*VAR) + COUNT * sizeof(*VAR->ELEMENT), GFP) + alloc(struct_size(VAR, ELEMENT, COUNT), GFP) // mr = kzalloc(sizeof(*mr) + m * sizeof(mr->map[0]), GFP_KERNEL); @@ identifier alloc =~ "kmalloc|kzalloc|kvmalloc|kvzalloc"; expression GFP; identifier VAR, ELEMENT; expression COUNT; @@ - alloc(sizeof(*VAR) + COUNT * sizeof(VAR->ELEMENT[0]), GFP) + alloc(struct_size(VAR, ELEMENT, COUNT), GFP) // Same pattern, but can't trivially locate the trailing element name, // or variable name. @@ identifier alloc =~ "kmalloc|kzalloc|kvmalloc|kvzalloc"; expression GFP; expression SOMETHING, COUNT, ELEMENT; @@ - alloc(sizeof(SOMETHING) + COUNT * sizeof(ELEMENT), GFP) + alloc(CHECKME_struct_size(&SOMETHING, ELEMENT, COUNT), GFP) Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> |

fs: allow per-device dax status checking for filesystems
Change bdev_dax_supported so it takes a bdev parameter. This enables multi-device filesystems like xfs to check that a dax device can work for the particular filesystem. Once that's in place, actually fix all the parts of XFS where we need to be able to distinguish between datadev and rtdev. This patch fixes the problem where we screw up the dax support checking in xfs if the datadev and rtdev have different dax capabilities. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

mm: introduce MEMORY_DEVICE_FS_DAX and CONFIG_DEV_PAGEMAP_OPS
In preparation for fixing dax-dma-vs-unmap issues, filesystems need to be able to rely on the fact that they will get wakeups on dev_pagemap page-idle events. Introduce MEMORY_DEVICE_FS_DAX and generic_dax_page_free() as common indicator / infrastructure for dax filesytems to require. With this change there are no users of the MEMORY_DEVICE_HOST designation, so remove it. The HMM sub-system extended dev_pagemap to arrange a callback when a dev_pagemap managed page is freed. Since a dev_pagemap page is free / idle when its reference count is 1 it requires an additional branch to check the page-type at put_page() time. Given put_page() is a hot-path we do not want to incur that check if HMM is not in use, so a static branch is used to avoid that overhead when not necessary. Now, the FS_DAX implementation wants to reuse this mechanism for receiving dev_pagemap ->page_free() callbacks. Rework the HMM-specific static-key into a generic mechanism that either HMM or FS_DAX code paths can enable. For ARCH=um builds, and any other arch that lacks ZONE_DEVICE support, care must be taken to compile out the DEV_PAGEMAP_OPS infrastructure. However, we still need to support FS_DAX in the FS_DAX_LIMITED case implemented by the s390/dcssblk driver.

device-dax: allow MAP_SYNC to succeed
MAP_SYNC is a nop for device-dax. Allow MAP_SYNC to succeed on device-dax
to eliminate special casing between device-dax and fs-dax as to when the
flag can be specified. Device-dax users already implicitly assume that they do
not need to call fsync(), and this enables them to explicitly check for this
capability.

libnvdimm for 4.17
* A rework of the filesytem-dax implementation provides for detection of
unmap operations (truncate / hole punch) colliding with in-progress
device-DMA. A fix for these collisions remains a work-in-progress
pending resolution of truncate latency and starvation regressions.
* The of_pmem driver expands the users of libnvdimm outside of x86 and
ACPI to describe an implementation of persistent memory on PowerPC with
Open Firmware / Device tree.
* Address Range Scrub (ARS) handling is completely rewritten to account for
the fact that ARS may run for 100s of seconds and there is no platform
defined way to cancel it. ARS will now no longer block namespace
initialization.
* The NVDIMM Namespace Label implementation is updated to handle label
areas as small as 1K, down from 128K.
* Miscellaneous cleanups and updates to unit test infrastructure.

dax: require 'struct page' by default for filesystem dax
If a dax buffer from a device that does not map pages is passed to read(2) or write(2) as a target for direct-I/O it triggers SIGBUS. If gdb attempts to examine the contents of a dax buffer from a device that does not map pages it triggers SIGBUS. If fork(2) is called on a process with a dax mapping from a device that does not map pages it triggers SIGBUS. 'struct page' is required otherwise several kernel code paths break in surprising ways. Disable filesystem-dax on devices that do not map pages. In addition to needing pfn_to_page() to be valid we also require devmap pages. We need this to detect dax pages in the get_user_pages_fast() path and so that we can stop managing the VM_MIXEDMAP flag. For DAX drivers that have not supported get_user_pages() to date we allow them to opt-in to supporting DAX with the CONFIG_FS_DAX_LIMITED configuration option which requires ->direct_access() to return pfn_t_special() pfns. This leaves DAX support in brd disabled and scheduled for removal. Note that when the initial dax support was being merged a few years back there was concern that struct page was unsuitable for use with next generation persistent memory devices. The theoretical concern was that struct page access, being such a hotly used data structure in the kernel, would lead to media wear out. While that was a reasonable conservative starting position it has not held true in practice. We have long since committed to using devm_memremap_pages() to support higher order kernel functionality that needs get_user_pages() and pfn_to_page().

memremap: change devm_memremap_pages interface to use struct dev_pagemap
This new interface is similar to how struct device (and many others) work. The caller initializes a 'struct dev_pagemap' as required and calls 'devm_memremap_pages'. This allows the pagemap structure to be embedded in another structure and thus container_of can be used. In this way application specific members can be stored in a containing struct. This will be used by the P2P infrastructure and HMM could probably be cleaned up to use it as well (instead of having it's own, similar 'hmm_devmem_pages_create' function).

device-dax: implement ->split() to catch invalid munmap attempts
Similar to how device-dax enforces that the 'address', 'offset', and
'len' parameters to mmap() be aligned to the device's fundamental

libnvdimm for 4.15
* Introduce MAP_SYNC and MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE, a mechanism to enable 'userspace flush' of persistent memory updates via filesystem-dax mappings. It arranges for any filesystem metadata updates that may be required to satisfy a write fault to also be flushed ("on disk") before the kernel returns to userspace from the fault handler. Effectively every write-fault that dirties metadata completes an fsync() before returning from the fault handler. The new MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE mapping type guarantees that the MAP_SYNC flag is validated as supported by the filesystem's ->mmap() file operation. * Add support for the standard ACPI 6.2 label access methods that replace the NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL (vendor specific) label methods. This enables interoperability with environments that only implement the standardized methods. * Add support for the ACPI 6.2 NVDIMM media error injection methods. * Add support for the NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL v1.6 DIMM commands for latch last shutdown status, firmware update, SMART error injection, and SMART alarm threshold control. * Cleanup physical address information disclosures to be root-only. * Fix revalidation of the DIMM "locked label area" status to support dynamic unlock of the label area. * Expand unit test infrastructure to mock the ACPI 6.2 Translate SPA (system-physical-address) command and error injection commands.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

dm, dax: Make sure dm_dax_flush() is called if device supports it
Currently dm_dax_flush() is not being called, even if underlying dax
device supports write cache, because DAXDEV_WRITE_CACHE is not being
propagated up to the DM dax device.
If the underlying dax device supports write cache, set
DAXDEV_WRITE_CACHE on the DM dax device. This will cause dm_dax_flush()
to be called.

Some of the earlier patches in this pile may look trivial but they are prerequisites for later patches in the series. The aim of this set is to improve how we track and report writeback errors to userland. Most applications that care about data integrity will periodically call fsync/fdatasync/msync to ensure that their writes have made it to the backing store. For a very long time, we have tracked writeback errors using two flags in the address_space: AS_EIO and AS_ENOSPC. Those flags are set when a writeback error occurs (via mapping_set_error) and are cleared as a side-effect of filemap_check_errors (as you noted yesterday). This model really sucks for userland. Only the first task to call fsync (or msync or fdatasync) will see the error. Any subsequent task calling fsync on a file will get back 0 (unless another writeback error occurs in the interim). If I have several tasks writing to a file and calling fsync to ensure that their writes got stored, then I need to have them coordinate with one another. That's difficult enough, but in a world of containerized setups that coordination may even not be possible. But wait...it gets worse! The calls to filemap_check_errors can be buried pretty far down in the call stack, and there are internal callers of filemap_write_and_wait and the like that also end up clearing those errors. Many of those callers ignore the error return from that function or return it to userland at nonsensical times (e.g. truncate() or stat()). If I get back -EIO on a truncate, there is no reason to think that it was because some previous writeback failed, and a subsequent fsync() will (incorrectly) return 0. This pile aims to do three things: 1) ensure that when a writeback error occurs that that error will be reported to userland on a subsequent fsync/fdatasync/msync call, regardless of what internal callers are doing 2) report writeback errors on all file descriptions that were open at the time that the error occurred. This is a user-visible change, but I think most applications are written to assume this behavior anyway. Those that aren't are unlikely to be hurt by it. 3) document what filesystems should do when there is a writeback error. Today, there is very little consistency between them, and a lot of cargo-cult copying. We need to make it very clear what filesystems should do in this situation. To achieve this, the set adds a new data type (errseq_t) and then builds new writeback error tracking infrastructure around that. Once all of that is in place, we change the filesystems to use the new infrastructure for reporting wb errors to userland. Note that this is just the initial foray into cleaning up this mess. There is a lot of work remaining here: 1) convert the rest of the filesystems in a similar fashion. Once the initial set is in, then I think most other fs' will be fairly simple to convert. Hopefully most of those can in via individual filesystem trees. 2) convert internal waiters on writeback to use errseq_t for detecting errors instead of relying on the AS_* flags. I have some draft patches for this for ext4, but they are not quite ready for prime time yet. This was a discussion topic this year at LSF/MM too.

libnvdimm for 4.13
* Introduce the _flushcache() family of memory copy helpers and use them for persistent memory write operations on x86. The _flushcache() semantic indicates that the cache is either bypassed for the copy operation (movnt) or any lines dirtied by the copy operation are written back (clwb, clflushopt, or clflush). * Extend dax_operations with ->copy_from_iter() and ->flush() operations. These operations and other infrastructure updates allow all persistent memory specific dax functionality to be pushed into libnvdimm and the pmem driver directly. It also allows dax-specific sysfs attributes to be linked to a host device, for example: /sys/block/pmem0/dax/write_cache * Add support for the new NVDIMM platform/firmware mechanisms introduced in ACPI 6.2 and UEFI 2.7. This support includes the v1.2 namespace label format, extensions to the address-range-scrub command set, new error injection commands, and a new BTT (block-translation-table) layout. These updates support inter-OS and pre-OS compatibility. * Fix a longstanding memory corruption bug in nfit_test. * Make the pmem and nvdimm-region 'badblocks' sysfs files poll(2) capable. * Miscellaneous fixes and small updates across libnvdimm and the nfit driver.

fs: new infrastructure for writeback error handling and reporting
Most filesystems currently use mapping_set_error and filemap_check_errors for setting and reporting/clearing writeback errors at the mapping level. filemap_check_errors is indirectly called from most of the filemap_fdatawait_* functions and from filemap_write_and_wait*. These functions are called from all sorts of contexts to wait on writeback to finish -- e.g. mostly in fsync, but also in truncate calls, getattr, etc. The non-fsync callers are problematic. We should be reporting writeback errors during fsync, but many places spread over the tree clear out errors before they can be properly reported, or report errors at nonsensical times. If I get -EIO on a stat() call, there is no reason for me to assume that it is because some previous writeback failed. The fact that it also clears out the error such that a subsequent fsync returns 0 is a bug, and a nasty one since that's potentially silent data corruption. This patch adds a small bit of new infrastructure for setting and reporting errors during address_space writeback. While the above was my original impetus for adding this, I think it's also the case that current fsync semantics are just problematic for userland. Most applications that call fsync do so to ensure that the data they wrote has hit the backing store. In the case where there are multiple writers to the file at the same time, this is really hard to determine. The first one to call fsync will see any stored error, and the rest get back 0. The processes with open fds may not be associated with one another in any way. They could even be in different containers, so ensuring coordination between all fsync callers is not really an option. One way to remedy this would be to track what file descriptor was used to dirty the file, but that's rather cumbersome and would likely be slow. However, there is a simpler way to improve the semantics here without incurring too much overhead. This set adds an errseq_t to struct address_space, and a corresponding one is added to struct file. Writeback errors are recorded in the mapping's errseq_t, and the one in struct file is used as the "since" value. This changes the semantics of the Linux fsync implementation such that applications can now use it to determine whether there were any writeback errors since fsync(fd) was last called (or since the file was opened in the case of fsync having never been called). Note that those writeback errors may have occurred when writing data that was dirtied via an entirely different fd, but that's the case now with the current mapping_set_error/filemap_check_error infrastructure. This will at least prevent you from getting a false report of success. The new behavior is still consistent with the POSIX spec, and is more reliable for application developers. This patch just adds some basic infrastructure for doing this, and ensures that the f_wb_err "cursor" is properly set when a file is opened. Later patches will change the existing code to use this new infrastructure for reporting errors at fsync time. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> |

libnvdimm, pmem, dax: export a cache control attribute
The dax_flush() operation can be turned into a nop on platforms where firmware arranges for cpu caches to be flushed on a power-fail event. The ACPI 6.2 specification defines a mechanism for the platform to indicate this capability so the kernel can select the proper default. However, for other platforms, the administrator must toggle this setting manually. Given this flush setting is a dax-specific mechanism we advertise it through a 'dax' attribute group hanging off a host device. For example, a 'pmem0' block-device gets a 'dax' sysfs-subdirectory with a 'write_cache' attribute to control response to dax cache flush requests. This is similar to the 'queue/write_cache' attribute that appears under block devices.

dax: remove default copy_from_iter fallback
Require all dax-drivers to register a ->copy_from_iter() operation so that it is clear which dax_operations are optional and which must be implemented for filesystem-dax to operate.

dm: add ->flush() dax operation support
Allow device-mapper to route flush operations to the per-target implementation. In order for the device stacking to work we need a dax_dev and a pgoff relative to that device. This gives each layer of the stack the information it needs to look up the operation pointer for the next level. This conceptually allows for an array of mixed device drivers with varying flush implementations.

device-dax: fix 'dax' device filesystem inode destruction crash
The inode destruction path for the 'dax' device filesystem incorrectly
assumes that the inode was initialized through 'alloc_dax()'. However,
if someone attempts to directly mount the dax filesystem with 'mount -t
dax dax mnt' that will bypass 'alloc_dax()' and the following failure
signatures may occur as a result:
kill_dax() must be called before final iput()
