      libnvdimm: introduce nvdimm_flush() and nvdimm_has_flush() · f284a4f2
      Dan Williams authored
      
      
      nvdimm_flush() is a replacement for the x86 'pcommit' instruction.  It is
      an optional write flushing mechanism that an nvdimm bus can provide for
      the pmem driver to consume.  In the case of the NFIT nvdimm-bus-provider
      nvdimm_flush() is implemented as a series of flush-hint-address [1]
      writes to each dimm in the interleave set (region) that backs the
      namespace.
      
      The nvdimm_has_flush() routine relies on platform firmware to describe
      the flushing capabilities of a platform.  It uses the heuristic of
      whether an nvdimm bus provider provides flush address data to return a
      ternary result:
      
            1: flush addresses defined
            0: dimm topology described without flush addresses (assume ADR)
       -errno: no topology information, unable to determine flush mechanism
      
      The pmem driver is expected to take the following actions on this ternary
      result:
      
            1: nvdimm_flush() in response to REQ_FUA / REQ_FLUSH and shutdown
            0: do not set, WC or FUA on the queue, take no further action
       -errno: warn and then operate as if nvdimm_has_flush() returned '0'
      
      The caveat of this heuristic is that it can not distinguish the "dimm
      does not have flush address" case from the "platform firmware is broken
      and failed to describe a flush address".  Given we are already
      explicitly trusting the NFIT there's not much more we can do beyond
      blacklisting broken firmwares if they are ever encountered.

      libnvdimm, nfit: move flush hint mapping to region-device driver-data · e5ae3b25
      Dan Williams authored
      
      
      In preparation for triggering flushes of a DIMM's writes-posted-queue
      (WPQ) via the pmem driver move mapping of flush hint addresses to the
      region driver.  Since this uses devm_nvdimm_memremap() the flush
      addresses will remain mapped while any region to which the dimm belongs
      is active.
      
      We need to communicate more information to the nvdimm core to facilitate
      this mapping, namely each dimm object now carries an array of flush hint
      address resources.

      Now that all shared mappings are handled by devm_nvdimm_memremap() we no
      longer need nfit_spa_map() nor do we need to trigger a callback to the
      bus provider at region disable time.

      libnvdimm, pmem: allow nfit_test to override pmem_direct_access() · f295e53b
      Dan Williams authored
      
      
      Currently phys_to_pfn_t() is an exported symbol to allow nfit_test to
      override it and indicate that nfit_test-pmem is not device-mapped.  Now,
      we want to enable nfit_test to operate without DMA_CMA and the pmem it
      provides will no longer be physically contiguous, i.e. won't be capable
      of supporting direct_access requests larger than a page.  Make
      pmem_direct_access() a weak symbol so that it can be replaced by the
      tools/testing/nvdimm/ version, and move phys_to_pfn_t() to a static
      inline now that it no longer needs to be overridden.

       "A new bunch of GPIO fixes for v4.7.
      
        This time I am very grateful that Ricardo Ribalda Delgado went in and
        fixed my stupid refcounting mistakes in the removal path for GPIO
        chips.  I had a feeling something was wrong here and so it was.  It
        exploded on OMAP and it fixes their problem.  Now it should be (more)
        solid.
      
        The rest i compilation, Kconfig and driver fixes.  Some tagged for
        stable.
      
        Summary:
      
         - Fix a NULL pointer dereference when we are searching the GPIO
           device list but one of the devices have been removed (struct
           gpio_chip pointer is NULL).
      
         - Fix unaligned reference counters: we were ending on +3 after all
           said and done.  It should be 0.  Remove an extraneous get_device(),
           and call cdev_del() followed by device_del() in gpiochip_remove()
           instead and the count goes to zero and calls the release() function
           properly.
      
         - Fix a compile warning due to a missing #include in the OF/device
           tree portions.
      
         - Select ANON_INODES for GPIOLIB, we're using that for our character
           device.  Some randconfig tests disclosed the problem.
      
         - Make sure the Zynq driver clock runs also without CONFIG_PM enabled
      
         - Fix an off-by-one error in the 104-DIO-48E driver

           Fix temporarily by blacklisting Qemu (we can relax later when they
           come into compliance).
      
         - The other is a fix to the optimal transfer size.  We set up a
           minefield for ourselves by being confused about whether the limits
           are in bytes or sectors (SCSI optimal is in blocks and the queue
           parameter is in bytes).
      
           This tries to fix the problem (wrong setting for queue limits
           max_sectors) and make the problem more obvious by introducing a
