      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.

      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.

      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, nfit: add interleave-set state-tracking infrastructure · eaf96153
      Dan Williams 提交于
      On platforms that have firmware support for reading/writing per-dimm
      label space, a portion of the dimm may be accessible via an interleave
      set PMEM mapping in addition to the dimm's BLK (block-data-window
      aperture(s)) interface.  A label, stored in a "configuration data
      region" on the dimm, disambiguates which dimm addresses are accessed
      through which exclusive interface.
      
      Add infrastructure that allows the kernel to block modifications to a
      label in the set while any member dimm is active.  Note that this is
      meant only for enforcing "no modifications of active labels" via the
      coarse ioctl command.  Adding/deleting namespaces from an active
      interleave set is always possible via sysfs.
      
      Another aspect of tracking interleave sets is tracking their integrity
      when DIMMs in a set are physically re-ordered.  For this purpose we
      generate an "interleave-set cookie" that can be recorded in a label and
      validated against the current configuration.  It is the bus provider
      implementation's responsibility to calculate the interleave set cookie
      and attach it to a given region.

      nd_pmem attaches to persistent memory regions and namespaces emitted by
      the libnvdimm subsystem, and, same as the original pmem driver, presents
      the system-physical-address range as a block device.

      that emits an nd_namespace_io device.
      
      Note that the X in 'pmemX' is now derived from the parent region.  This
      provides some stability to the pmem devices names from boot-to-boot.
      The minor numbers are also more predictable by passing 0 to

      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...".

      * 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.

      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_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.
