Given ambiguities in the ACPI 6.1 definition of the "Output (Size)"
field of the ARS (Address Range Scrub) Status command, a firmware
implementation may in practice return 0, 4, or 8 to indicate that there
is no output payload to process.
The specification states "Size of Output Buffer in bytes, including this
field.". However, 'Output Buffer' is also the name of the entire
payload, and earlier in the specification it states "Max Query ARS
Status Output Buffer Size: Maximum size of buffer (including the Status
and Extended Status fields)".
Without this fix if the BIOS happens to return 0 it causes memory
corruption as evidenced by this result from the acpi_nfit_ctl() unit
test.

nvdimm_clear_poison cleared the user-visible badblocks, and sent
commands to the NVDIMM to clear the areas marked as 'poison', but it
neglected to clear the same areas from the internal poison_list which is
used to marshal ARS results before sorting them by namespace. As a
result, once on-demand ARS functionality was added:
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.

where legacy pmem is being used or a pmem region created by using memmap

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.

There are currently 4 known similar but incompatible definitions of the
command sets that can be sent to an NVDIMM through ACPI. It is also
clear that future platform generations (ACPI or not) will continue to
revise and extend the DIMM command set as new devices and use cases
arrive.
It is obviously untenable to continue to proliferate divergence
of these command definitions, and to that end a standardization process
has begun to provide for a unified specification. However, that leaves a
problem about what to do with this first generation where vendors are
already shipping divergence.
The Linux kernel can support these initial diverged platforms without
giving platform-firmware free reign to continue to diverge and compound
kernel maintenance overhead. The kernel implementation can encourage
standardization in two ways:
1/ Require that any function code that userspace wants to send be
explicitly white-listed in the implementation. For ACPI this means
function codes marked as supported by acpi_check_dsm() may
only be invoked if they appear in the white-list. A function must be
publicly documented before it is added to the white-list.
2/ The above restrictions can be trivially bypassed by using the
"vendor-specific" payload command. However, since vendor-specific
commands are by definition not publicly documented and have the
potential to corrupt the kernel's view of the dimm state, we provide a
toggle to disable vendor-specific operations. Enabling undefined
behavior is a policy decision that can be made by the platform owner
and encourages firmware implementations to choose public over
private command implementations.

This is in preparation for breaking the 1:1 implicit relationship

Upon detection of an unarmed dimm in a region, arrange for descendant
BTT, PMEM, or BLK instances to be read-only. A dimm is primarily marked
"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.
A 'read_only' attribute is added to REGION devices to allow for
overriding the default read-only policy of all descendant block devices.

NVDIMM namespaces, in addition to accepting "struct bio" based requests,
also have the capability to perform byte-aligned accesses. By default
only the bio/block interface is used. However, if another driver can
make effective use of the byte-aligned capability it can claim namespace
interface and use the byte-aligned ->rw_bytes() interface.
The BTT driver is the initial first consumer of this mechanism to allow
adding atomic sector update semantics to a pmem or blk namespace. This
patch is the sysfs infrastructure to allow configuring a BTT instance
for a namespace. Enabling that BTT and performing i/o is in a
subsequent patch.

After 'uuid', 'size', 'sector_size', and optionally 'alt_name' have been

difference with the pmem case is that blk namespaces are limited to one
dimm and can cover discontiguous ranges in dpa space.
Also, after allocating label slots, it is useful for userspace to know
how many slots are left. Export this information in sysfs.

with a PMEM interleave set will grow allocations backward from the
highest DPA.

On platforms that have firmware support for reading/writing per-dimm
label space, a portion of the dimm may be accessible via an interleave
set PMEM mapping in addition to the dimm's BLK (block-data-window
aperture(s)) interface. A label, stored in a "configuration data
region" on the dimm, disambiguates which dimm addresses are accessed
through which exclusive interface.
Add infrastructure that allows the kernel to block modifications to a
label in the set while any member dimm is active. Note that this is
meant only for enforcing "no modifications of active labels" via the
coarse ioctl command. Adding/deleting namespaces from an active
interleave set is always possible via sysfs.
Another aspect of tracking interleave sets is tracking their integrity
when DIMMs in a set are physically re-ordered. For this purpose we
generate an "interleave-set cookie" that can be recorded in a label and
validated against the current configuration. It is the bus provider
implementation's responsibility to calculate the interleave set cookie
and attach it to a given region.

The libnvdimm region driver is an intermediary driver that translates
non-volatile "region"s into "namespace" sub-devices that are surfaced by
persistent memory block-device drivers (PMEM and BLK).
ACPI 6 introduces the concept that a given nvdimm may simultaneously
offer multiple access modes to its media through direct PMEM load/store
access, or windowed BLK mode. Existing nvdimms mostly implement a PMEM
interface, some offer a BLK-like mode, but never both as ACPI 6 defines.
If an nvdimm is single interfaced, then there is no need for dimm
metadata labels. For these devices we can take the region boundaries
directly to create a child namespace device (nd_namespace_io).

* Implement the device-model infrastructure for loading modules and
attaching drivers to nvdimm devices. This is a simple association of a
nd-device-type number with a driver that has a bitmask of supported
device types. To facilitate userspace bind/unbind operations 'modalias'
and 'devtype', that also appear in the uevent, are added as generic
sysfs attributes for all nvdimm devices. The reason for the device-type
number is to support sub-types within a given parent devtype, be it a
vendor-specific sub-type or otherwise.
* The first consumer of this infrastructure is the driver
for dimm devices. It simply uses control messages to retrieve and
store the configuration-data image (label set) from each dimm.
Note: nd_device_register() arranges for asynchronous registration of
nvdimm bus devices by default.

Most discovery/configuration of the nvdimm-subsystem is done via sysfs
attributes. However, some nvdimm_bus instances, particularly the
ACPI.NFIT bus, define a small set of messages that can be passed to the
platform. For convenience we derive the initial libnvdimm-ioctl command
formats directly from the NFIT DSM Interface Example formats.
ND_CMD_SMART: media health and diagnostics
ND_CMD_GET_CONFIG_SIZE: size of the label space
ND_CMD_GET_CONFIG_DATA: read label space
ND_CMD_SET_CONFIG_DATA: write label space
ND_CMD_VENDOR: vendor-specific command passthrough
ND_CMD_ARS_CAP: report address-range-scrubbing capabilities
ND_CMD_ARS_START: initiate scrubbing
ND_CMD_ARS_STATUS: report on scrubbing state
ND_CMD_SMART_THRESHOLD: configure alarm thresholds for smart events
If a platform later defines different commands than this set it is
straightforward to extend support to those formats.
Most of the commands target a specific dimm. However, the
address-range-scrubbing commands target the bus. The 'commands'
attribute in sysfs of an nvdimm_bus, or nvdimm, enumerate the supported
commands for that object.

Enable nvdimm devices to be registered on a nvdimm_bus. The kernel
assigned device id for nvdimm devicesis dynamic. If userspace needs a
more static identifier it should consult a provider-specific attribute.
In the case where NFIT is the provider, the 'nmemX/nfit/handle' or
'nmemX/nfit/serial' attributes may be used for this purpose.

The control device for a nvdimm_bus is registered as an "nd" class
device. The expectation is that there will usually only be one "nd" bus
registered under /sys/class/nd. However, we allow for the possibility
of multiple buses and they will listed in discovery order as
ndctl0...ndctlN. This character device hosts the ioctl for passing
control messages. The initial command set has a 1:1 correlation with
the commands listed in the by the "NFIT DSM Example" document [1], but
this scheme is extensible to future command sets.
Note, nd_ioctl() and the backing ->ndctl() implementation are defined in
a subsequent patch. This is simply the initial registrations and sysfs
attributes.
