      libnvdimm, nvdimm: dimm driver and base libnvdimm device-driver infrastructure · 4d88a97a
      Dan Williams 提交于
      * 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.

      libnvdimm: control (ioctl) messages for nvdimm_bus and nvdimm devices · 62232e45
      Dan Williams 提交于
      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.

      libnvdimm, nfit: dimm/memory-devices · e6dfb2de
      Dan Williams 提交于
      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.
