      libnvdimm: write pmem label set · f524bf27
      Dan Williams 提交于
      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 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).
