* libnvdimm: handle locked label storage areasDan Williams2017-05-041-5/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | Per the latest version of the "NVDIMM DSM Interface Example" [1], the label data retrieval routine can report a "locked" status. In this case all regions associated with that DIMM are disabled until the label area is unlocked. Provide generic libnvdimm enabling for NVDIMMs with label data area locking capabilities.

* libnvdimm: convert NDD_ flags to use bitops, introduce NDD_LOCKEDDan Williams2017-05-041-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | This is a preparation patch for handling locked nvdimm label regions, a new concept as introduced by the latest DSM document on pmem.io [1]. A future patch will leverage nvdimm_set_locked() at DIMM probe time to flag regions that can not be enabled. There should be no functional difference resulting from this change.

* nfit, libnvdimm: fix interleave set cookie calculationDan Williams2017-03-011-4/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* libnvdimm, namespace: do not delete namespace-id 0Dan Williams2017-01-311-4/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Given that the naming of pmem devices changes from the pmemX form to the pmemX.Y form when namespace id is greater than 0, arrange for namespaces with id-0 to be exempt from deletion. Otherwise a simple reconfiguration of an existing namespace to a new mode results in a name change of the resulting block device: # ndctl list --namespace=namespace1.0 { "dev":"namespace1.0", "mode":"raw", "size":2147483648, "uuid":"3dadf3dc-89b9-4b24-b20e-abc8a4707ce3", "blockdev":"pmem1" } # ndctl create-namespace --reconfig=namespace1.0 --mode=memory --force { "dev":"namespace1.1", "mode":"memory", "size":2111832064, "uuid":"7b4a6341-7318-4219-a02c-fb57c0bbf613", "blockdev":"pmem1.1" } This change does require tooling changes to explicitly look for namespaceX.0 if the seed has already advanced to another namespace.

For "IO namespaces" that don't have a label or UUID, the parent_uuid is set to zero, and this validation is skipped. For such cases, old BTTs have to be invalidated by forcing the namespace to raw mode, and overwriting the BTT info blocks.

* libnvdimm, nfit, nd_blk: driver for BLK-mode access persistent memoryRoss Zwisler2015-06-261-1/+64
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* nd_btt: atomic sector updatesVishal Verma2015-06-261-0/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | BTT stands for Block Translation Table, and is a way to provide power fail sector atomicity semantics for block devices that have the ability to perform byte granularity IO. It relies on the capability of libnvdimm namespace devices to do byte aligned IO. The BTT works as a stacked blocked device, and reserves a chunk of space from the backing device for its accounting metadata. It is a bio-based driver because all IO is done synchronously, and there is no queuing or asynchronous completions at either the device or the driver level. The BTT uses 'lanes' to index into various 'on-disk' data structures, and lanes also act as a synchronization mechanism in case there are more CPUs than available lanes. We did a comparison between two lane lock strategies - first where we kept an atomic counter around that tracked which was the last lane that was used, and 'our' lane was determined by atomically incrementing that. That way, for the nr_cpus > nr_lanes case, theoretically, no CPU would be blocked waiting for a lane. The other strategy was to use the cpu number we're scheduled on to and hash it to a lane number. Theoretically, this could block an IO that could've otherwise run using a different, free lane. But some fio workloads showed that the direct cpu -> lane hash performed faster than tracking 'last lane' - my reasoning is the cache thrash caused by moving the atomic variable made that approach slower than simply waiting out the in-progress IO. This supports the conclusion that the driver can be a very simple bio-based one that does synchronous IOs instead of queuing.

* libnvdimm: infrastructure for btt devicesDan Williams2015-06-251-34/+170
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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', and optionally 'alt_name' have been set to valid values the labels on the dimms can be updated. Write procedure is: 1/ Allocate and write new labels in the "next" index 2/ Free the old labels in the working copy 3/ Write the bitmap and the label space on the dimm 4/ Write the index to make the update valid Label ranges directly mirror the dpa resource values for the given label_id of the namespace.

* libnvdimm: blk labels and namespace instantiationDan Williams2015-06-241-36/+462
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A blk label set describes a namespace comprised of one or more discontiguous dpa ranges on a single dimm. They may alias with one or more pmem interleave sets that include the given dimm. This is the runtime/volatile configuration infrastructure for sysfs manipulation of 'alt_name', 'uuid', 'size', and 'sector_size'. A later patch will make these settings persistent by writing back the label(s). Unlike pmem namespaces, multiple blk namespaces can be created per region. Once a blk namespace has been created a new seed device (unconfigured child of a parent blk region) is instantiated. As long as a region has 'available_size' != 0 new child namespaces may be created.

* libnvdimm: pmem label sets and namespace instantiation.Dan Williams2015-06-241-2/+1000
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A complete label set is a PMEM-label per-dimm per-interleave-set where all the UUIDs match and the interleave set cookie matches the hosting interleave set. Present sysfs attributes for manipulation of a PMEM-namespace's 'alt_name', 'uuid', and 'size' attributes. A later patch will make these settings persistent by writing back the label. Note that PMEM allocations grow forwards from the start of an interleave set (lowest dimm-physical-address (DPA)). BLK-namespaces that alias with a PMEM interleave set will grow allocations backward from the highest DPA.

* libnvdimm: support for legacy (non-aliasing) nvdimmsDan Williams2015-06-241-0/+111
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).
