      device-dax: fix sysfs attribute deadlock · 565851c9

      Usage of device_lock() for dax_region attributes is unnecessary and
      deadlock prone. It's unnecessary because the order of registration /
      un-registration guarantees that drvdata is always valid. It's deadlock

       which lock already depends on the new lock.
      
       the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

      libnvdimm: rework region badblocks clearing · 23f49844
      Dan Williams authored
      
      
      Toshi noticed that the new support for a region-level badblocks missed
      the case where errors are cleared due to BTT I/O.
      
      An initial attempt to fix this ran into a "sleeping while atomic"
      warning due to taking the nvdimm_bus_lock() in the BTT I/O path to
      satisfy the locking requirements of __nvdimm_bus_badblocks_clear().
      However, that lock is not needed since we are not acting on any data that
      is subject to change under that lock. The badblocks instance has its own
      internal lock to handle mutations of the error list.
      
      So, in order to make it clear that we are just acting on region devices,
      rename __nvdimm_bus_badblocks_clear() to nvdimm_clear_badblocks_regions().
      Eliminate the lock and consolidate all support routines for the new
      nvdimm_account_cleared_poison() in drivers/nvdimm/bus.c. Finally, to the
      opportunity to cleanup to some unnecessary casts, make the calling
      convention of nvdimm_clear_badblocks_regions() clearer by replacing struct
      resource with the minimal struct clear_badblocks_context, and use the
      DEVICE_ATTR macro.

      print_hex_dump_debug in the CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=n case. That was fixed
      with commit cdf17449

      libnvdimm, region: sysfs trigger for nvdimm_flush() · ab630891
      Dan Williams authored
      
      
      The nvdimm_flush() mechanism helps to reduce the impact of an ADR
      (asynchronous-dimm-refresh) failure. The ADR mechanism handles flushing
      platform WPQ (write-pending-queue) buffers when power is removed. The
      nvdimm_flush() mechanism performs that same function on-demand.
      
      When a pmem namespace is associated with a block device, an
      nvdimm_flush() is triggered with every block-layer REQ_FUA, or REQ_FLUSH
      request. These requests are typically associated with filesystem
      metadata updates. However, when a namespace is in device-dax mode,
      userspace (think database metadata) needs another path to perform the
      same flushing. In other words this is not required to make data
      persistent, but in the case of metadata it allows for a smaller failure
      domain in the unlikely event of an ADR failure.
      
      The new 'deep_flush' attribute is visible when the individual DIMMs
      backing a given interleave-set are described by platform firmware. In
      ACPI terms this is "NVDIMM Region Mapping Structures" and associated
      "Flush Hint Address Structures". Reads return "1" if the region supports
      triggering WPQ flushes on all DIMMs. Reads return "0" the flush
      operation is a platform nop, and in that case the attribute is
      read-only.
      
      Why sysfs and not an ioctl? An ioctl requires establishing a new
      ioctl function number space for device-dax. Given that this would be
      called on a device-dax fd an application could be forgiven for
      accidentally calling this on a filesystem-dax fd. Placing this interface
      in libnvdimm sysfs removes that potential for collision with a
      filesystem ioctl, and it keeps ioctls out of the generic device-dax
      implementation.

      dm: add dax_device and dax_operations support · f26c5719
      Dan Williams authored
      
      
      Allocate a dax_device to represent the capacity of a device-mapper
      instance. Provide a ->direct_access() method via the new dax_operations

      support via block_device_operations.  Once fs/dax.c has been converted
      to use dax_operations the old dm_blk_direct_access() will be removed.
      
      A new helper dm_dax_get_live_target() is introduced to separate some of
      the dm-specifics from the direct_access implementation.
      
      This enabling is only for the top-level dm representation to upper
      layers. Converting target direct_access implementations is deferred to a
      separate patch.
