      libnvdimm: infrastructure for btt devices · 8c2f7e86
      Dan Williams 提交于
      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.

      libnvdimm: blk labels and namespace instantiation · 1b40e09a
      Dan Williams 提交于
      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. · bf9bccc1
      Dan Williams 提交于
      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) nvdimms · 3d88002e
      Dan Williams 提交于
      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).

      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.
