      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: namespace indices: read and validate · 4a826c83
      Dan Williams 提交于
      This on media label format [1] consists of two index blocks followed by
      an array of labels.  None of these structures are ever updated in place.
      A sequence number tracks the current active index and the next one to
      write, while labels are written to free slots.

      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, nfit: regions (block-data-window, persistent memory, volatile memory) · 1f7df6f8
      Dan Williams 提交于
      A "region" device represents the maximum capacity of a BLK range (mmio
      block-data-window(s)), or a PMEM range (DAX-capable persistent memory or
      volatile memory), without regard for aliasing.  Aliasing, in the
      dimm-local address space (DPA), is resolved by metadata on a dimm to
      designate which exclusive interface will access the aliased DPA ranges.
      Support for the per-dimm metadata/label arrvies is in a subsequent
      patch.
      
      The name format of "region" devices is "regionN" where, like dimms, N is
      a global ida index assigned at discovery time.  This id is not reliable
      across reboots nor in the presence of hotplug.  Look to attributes of
      the region or static id-data of the sub-namespace to generate a
      persistent name.  However, if the platform configuration does not change
      it is reasonable to expect the same region id to be assigned at the next
      boot.
      
      "region"s have 2 generic attributes "size", and "mapping"s where:
      - size: the BLK accessible capacity or the span of the
        system physical address range in the case of PMEM.
      
      - mappingN: a tuple describing a dimm's contribution to the region's
        capacity in the format (<nmemX>,<dpa>,<size>).  For a PMEM-region
        there will be at least one mapping per dimm in the interleave set.  For
        a BLK-region there is only "mapping0" listing the starting DPA of the
        BLK-region and the available DPA capacity of that space (matches "size"
        above).
      
      The max number of mappings per "region" is hard coded per the
      constraints of sysfs attribute groups.  That said the number of mappings
      per region should never exceed the maximum number of possible dimms in
      the system.  If the current number turns out to not be enough then the
      "mappings" attribute clarifies how many there are supposed to be. "32
      should be enough for anybody...".

      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.

      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

      libnvdimm: control character device and nvdimm_bus sysfs attributes · 45def22c
      Dan Williams 提交于
      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.

      libnvdimm, nfit: initial libnvdimm infrastructure and NFIT support · b94d5230
      Dan Williams 提交于
      A struct nvdimm_bus is the anchor device for registering nvdimm
      resources and interfaces, for example, a character control device,
      nvdimm devices, and I/O region devices.  The ACPI NFIT (NVDIMM Firmware
      Interface Table) is one possible platform description for such
      non-volatile memory resources in a system.  The nfit.ko driver attaches
      to the "ACPI0012" device that indicates the presence of the NFIT and
      parses the table to register a struct nvdimm_bus instance.
