      libnvdimm, blk: add support for blk integrity · fcae6957
      Vishal Verma 提交于
      Support multiple block sizes (sector + metadata) for nd_blk in the
      same way as done for the BTT. Add the idea of an 'internal' lbasize,
      which is properly aligned and padded, and store metadata in this space.

      libnvdimm, nfit, nd_blk: driver for BLK-mode access persistent memory · 047fc8a1
      Ross Zwisler 提交于
      The libnvdimm implementation handles allocating dimm address space (DPA)
      between PMEM and BLK mode interfaces.  After DPA has been allocated from
      a BLK-region to a BLK-namespace the nd_blk driver attaches to handle I/O
      as a struct bio based block device. Unlike PMEM, BLK is required to
      handle platform specific details like mmio register formats and memory
      controller interleave.  For this reason the libnvdimm generic nd_blk
      driver calls back into the bus provider to carry out the I/O.
      
      This initial implementation handles the BLK interface defined by the
      ACPI 6 NFIT [1] and the NVDIMM DSM Interface Example [2] composed from
      DCR (dimm control region), BDW (block data window), IDT (interleave
      descriptor) NFIT structures and the hardware register format.

      nd_btt: atomic sector updates · 5212e11f
      Vishal Verma 提交于
      BTT stands for Block Translation Table, and is a way to provide power
      fail sector atomicity semantics for block devices that have the ability
      to perform byte granularity IO. It relies on the capability of libnvdimm
      namespace devices to do byte aligned IO.
      
      The BTT works as a stacked blocked device, and reserves a chunk of space
      from the backing device for its accounting metadata. It is a bio-based
      driver because all IO is done synchronously, and there is no queuing or
      asynchronous completions at either the device or the driver level.
      
      The BTT uses 'lanes' to index into various 'on-disk' data structures,
      and lanes also act as a synchronization mechanism in case there are more
      CPUs than available lanes. We did a comparison between two lane lock
      strategies - first where we kept an atomic counter around that tracked
      which was the last lane that was used, and 'our' lane was determined by
      atomically incrementing that. That way, for the nr_cpus > nr_lanes case,
      theoretically, no CPU would be blocked waiting for a lane. The other
      strategy was to use the cpu number we're scheduled on to and hash it to
      a lane number. Theoretically, this could block an IO that could've
      otherwise run using a different, free lane. But some fio workloads
      showed that the direct cpu -> lane hash performed faster than tracking
      'last lane' - my reasoning is the cache thrash caused by moving the
      atomic variable made that approach slower than simply waiting out the
      in-progress IO. This supports the conclusion that the driver can be a
      very simple bio-based one that does synchronous IOs instead of queuing.

      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: write blk label set · 0ba1c634
      Dan Williams 提交于
      After 'uuid', 'size', 'sector_size', and optionally 'alt_name' have been
      set to valid values the labels on the dimm can be updated.  The
      difference with the pmem case is that blk namespaces are limited to one
      dimm and can cover discontiguous ranges in dpa space.
      
      Also, after allocating label slots, it is useful for userspace to know
      how many slots are left.  Export this information in sysfs.

      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).
