powerpc/papr_scm: Implement initial support for injecting smart errors
Presently PAPR doesn't support injecting smart errors on an
NVDIMM. This makes testing the NVDIMM health reporting functionality
difficult as simulating NVDIMM health related events need a hacked up
qemu version.
To solve this problem this patch proposes simulating certain set of
NVDIMM health related events in papr_scm. Specifically 'fatal' health
state and 'dirty' shutdown state. These error can be injected via the
user-space 'ndctl-inject-smart(1)' command. With the proposed patch and
corresponding ndctl patches following command flow is expected:
$ sudo ndctl list -DH -d nmem0
...
"health_state":"ok",
"shutdown_state":"clean",
...
# inject unsafe shutdown and fatal health error
$ sudo ndctl inject-smart nmem0 -Uf
...
"health_state":"fatal",
"shutdown_state":"dirty",
...
# uninject all errors
$ sudo ndctl inject-smart nmem0 -N
...
"health_state":"ok",
"shutdown_state":"clean",
...
The patch adds a new member 'health_bitmap_inject_mask' inside struct
papr_scm_priv which is then bitwise ANDed to the health bitmap fetched from the
hypervisor. The value for 'health_bitmap_inject_mask' is accessible from sysfs
at nmemX/papr/health_bitmap_inject.
A new PDSM named 'SMART_INJECT' is proposed that accepts newly
introduced 'struct nd_papr_pdsm_smart_inject' as payload thats
exchanged between libndctl and papr_scm to indicate the requested
smart-error states.
When the processing the PDSM 'SMART_INJECT', papr_pdsm_smart_inject()
constructs a pair or 'inject_mask' and 'clear_mask' bitmaps from the payload
and bit-blt it to the 'health_bitmap_inject_mask'. This ensures the after being
fetched from the hypervisor, the health_bitmap reflects requested smart-error
states.
