The function dax_pmem_probe() in drivers/dax/pmem.c is compiled under the
CONFIG_DEV_DAX_PMEM tri-state config option. This config option currently
only depends on CONFIG_NVDIMM_DAX, a bool, which means that the following
configuration is possible:
CONFIG_LIBNVDIMM=m
...
CONFIG_NVDIMM_DAX=y
CONFIG_DEV_DAX=y
CONFIG_DEV_DAX_PMEM=y
With this config LIBNVDIMM is compiled as a module with NVDIMM_DAX=y just
meaning that we will compile drivers/nvdimm/dax_devs.c into that module.
However, dax_pmem_probe() depends on several symbols defined in
drivers/nvdimm/dax_devs.c, which results in the following build errors:
drivers/built-in.o: In function `dax_pmem_probe':
linux/drivers/dax/pmem.c:70: undefined reference to `to_nd_dax'
linux/drivers/dax/pmem.c:74: undefined reference to
`nvdimm_namespace_common_probe'
linux/drivers/dax/pmem.c:80: undefined reference to `devm_nsio_enable'

drivers/built-in.o: In function `dax_pmem_init':
linux/drivers/dax/pmem.c:147: undefined reference to `__nd_driver_register'
Fix this by making NVDIMM_DAX a tristate. DEV_DAX_PMEM depends on
NVDIMM_DAX which depends on LIBNVDIMM. Since they are all now tristates,
if LIBNVDIMM is built as a kernel module DEV_DAX_PMEM will be as well.
This prevents dax_devs.c from being built as a built-in while its
dependencies are in the libnvdimm.ko module.

Short-circuit doomed-to-fail label validation attempts by skipping

only to find that the interleave-set-cookie does not validate, e.g.:
nd_region region6: invalid cookie in label: 73e608dc-47b9-4b2a-b5c7-2d55a32e0c2

BLK-space is valid as long as it does not precede a PMEM
allocation in a given region. PMEM-space must be contiguous

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.

nvdimm_clear_poison cleared the user-visible badblocks, and sent

neglected to clear the same areas from the internal poison_list which is

37b137f nfit, libnvdimm: allow an ARS scrub to be triggered on demand
A scrub triggered from either sysfs or an MCE was found to be adding
stale entries that had been cleared from gendisk->badblocks, but were
still present in nvdimm_bus->poison_list. Additionally, the stale entries
could be triggered into producing stale disk->badblocks by simply disabling
and re-enabling the namespace or region.
This adds the missing step of clearing poison_list entries when clearing
poison, so that it is always in sync with badblocks.

Normally, an ARS (Address Range Scrub) only happens at
boot/initialization time. There can however arise situations where a
bus-wide rescan is needed - notably, in the case of discovering a latent
media error, we should do a full rescan to figure out what other sectors
are bad, and thus potentially avoid triggering an mce on them in the
future. Also provide a sysfs trigger to start a bus-wide scrub.

A recent effort to add a new nvdimm bus provider attribute highlighted a
race between interrogating nvdimm_bus->nd_desc and nvdimm_bus tear down.
The typical way to handle these races is to take the device_lock() in
the attribute method and validate that the device is still active. In
order for a device to be 'active' it needs to be associated with a
driver. So, we create the small boilerplate for a driver and register
nvdimm_bus devices on the 'nvdimm_bus_type' bus.
A result of this change is that ndbusX devices now appear under
/sys/bus/nd/devices. In fact this makes /sys/class/nd somewhat
redundant, but removing that will need to take a long deprecation period
given its use by ndctl binaries in the field.
This change naturally pulls code from drivers/nvdimm/core.c to
drivers/nvdimm/bus.c, so it is a nice code organization clean-up as
well.

nsio_rw_bytes() is used to write info block metadata to the namespace,
so it should trigger a flush after every write. Replace wmb_pmem() with
nvdimm_flush() in this path.

Given that nvdimm_flush() has higher overhead than wmb_pmem() (pointer
chasing through nd_region), and that we otherwise assume a platform has
ADR capability when flush hints are not present, move nvdimm_flush() to
REQ_FLUSH context.
Note that we still arrange for nvdimm_flush() to be called even in the
ADR case. We need at least once wmb() fence to push buffered writes in
the cpu out to the ADR protected domain.

When the NFIT provides multiple flush hint addresses per-dimm it is
expressing that the platform is capable of processing multiple flush
requests in parallel. There is some fixed cost per flush request, let
the cost be shared in parallel on multiple cpus.
Since there may not be enough flush hint addresses for each cpu to have
one, keep a per-cpu index of the last used hint, hash it with current
pid, and assume that access pattern and scheduler randomness will keep
the flush-hint usage somewhat staggered across cpus.

nvdimm_flush() is a replacement for the x86 'pcommit' instruction. It is
an optional write flushing mechanism that an nvdimm bus can provide for
the pmem driver to consume. In the case of the NFIT nvdimm-bus-provider
nvdimm_flush() is implemented as a series of flush-hint-address [1]
writes to each dimm in the interleave set (region) that backs the
namespace.
The nvdimm_has_flush() routine relies on platform firmware to describe
the flushing capabilities of a platform. It uses the heuristic of
whether an nvdimm bus provider provides flush address data to return a
ternary result:
1: flush addresses defined
0: dimm topology described without flush addresses (assume ADR)
-errno: no topology information, unable to determine flush mechanism
The pmem driver is expected to take the following actions on this ternary
result:
1: nvdimm_flush() in response to REQ_FUA / REQ_FLUSH and shutdown
0: do not set, WC or FUA on the queue, take no further action
-errno: warn and then operate as if nvdimm_has_flush() returned '0'
The caveat of this heuristic is that it can not distinguish the "dimm
does not have flush address" case from the "platform firmware is broken
and failed to describe a flush address". Given we are already
explicitly trusting the NFIT there's not much more we can do beyond
blacklisting broken firmwares if they are ever encountered.

nd_region device driver data will be used in the namespace i/o path.
Re-order nd_region_remove() to ensure this data stays live across
namespace device removal

In preparation for triggering flushes of a DIMM's writes-posted-queue
(WPQ) via the pmem driver move mapping of flush hint addresses to the
region driver. Since this uses devm_nvdimm_memremap() the flush
addresses will remain mapped while any region to which the dimm belongs
is active.
We need to communicate more information to the nvdimm core to facilitate
this mapping, namely each dimm object now carries an array of flush hint
address resources.
