Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:
"A small batch of fixes for v4.20-rc3.
The overflow continuation fix addresses something that has been broken
for several releases. Arguably it could wait even longer, but it's a
one line fix and this finishes the last of the known address range
scrub bug reports. The revert addresses a lockdep regression. The unit
tests are not critical to fix, but no reason to hold this fix back.
Summary:
- Address Range Scrub overflow continuation handling has been broken
since it was initially merged. It was only recently that error
injection and platform-BIOS support enabled this corner case to be
exercised.
- The recent attempt to provide more isolation for the kernel Address
Range Scrub state machine from userapace initiated sessions
triggers a lockdep report. Revert and try again at the next merge
window.
- Fix a kasan reported buffer overflow in libnvdimm unit test
infrastrucutre (nfit_test)"

When the platform BIOS is unable to report all the media error records
it requires the OS to restart the scrub at a prescribed location. The
driver detects the overflow condition, but then fails to report it to
the ARS state machine after reaping the records. Propagate -ENOSPC
correctly to continue the ARS operation.

The NFIT machine check handler uses the physical address from the mce
structure, and compares it against information in the ACPI NFIT table
to determine whether that location lies on an NVDIMM. The mce->addr
field however may not always be valid, and this is indicated by the
MCI_STATUS_ADDRV bit in the status field.
Export mce_usable_address() which already performs validation for the
address, and use it in the NFIT handler.

The MCE handler for nfit devices is called for memory errors on a
Non-Volatile DIMM and adds the error location to a 'badblocks' list.
This list is used by the various NVDIMM drivers to avoid consuming known
poison locations during IO.
The MCE handler gets called for both corrected and uncorrectable errors.
Until now, both kinds of errors have been added to the badblocks list.
However, corrected memory errors indicate that the problem has already
been fixed by hardware, and the resulting interrupt is merely a
notification to Linux.
As far as future accesses to that location are concerned, it is
perfectly fine to use, and thus doesn't need to be included in the above
badblocks list.
Add a check in the nfit MCE handler to filter out corrected mce events,
and only process uncorrectable errors.

In addition to not allowing ARS start while the background thread is
actively running, prevent ARS start while any scrub request is pending.
This aligns the window for ARS start submission with the status of ARS
reported via sysfs. Previously userspace could sneak its own ARS start
requests in while sysfs reported -EBUSY.

The Address Range Scrub implementation tried to skip running scrubs
against ranges that were already scrubbed by the BIOS. Unfortunately
that support also resulted in early scrub completions as evidenced by
this debug output from nfit_test:
nd_region region9: ARS: range 1 short complete
nd_region region3: ARS: range 1 short complete
nd_region region4: ARS: range 2 ARS start (0)
nd_region region4: ARS: range 2 short complete
...i.e. completions without any indications that the scrub was started.
This state of affairs was hard to see in the code due to the
proliferation of state bits and mistakenly trying to track done state
per-range when the completion is a global property of the bus.
So, kill the four ARS state bits (ARS_REQ, ARS_REQ_REDO, ARS_DONE, and
ARS_SHORT), and replace them with just 2 request flags ARS_REQ_SHORT and
ARS_REQ_LONG. The implementation will still complete and reap the
results of BIOS initiated ARS, but it will not attempt to use that
information to affect the completion status of scrubbing the ranges from
a Linux perspective.
Instead, try to synchronously run a short ARS per range at init time and
schedule a long scrub in the background. If ARS is busy with an ARS
request, schedule both a short and a long scrub for when ARS returns to
idle. This logic also satisfies the intent of what ARS_REQ_REDO was
trying to achieve. The new rule is that the REQ flag stays set until the
next successful ars_start() for that range.
With the new policy that the REQ flags are not cleared until the next
start, the implementation no longer loses requests as can be seen from
the following log:
nd_region region3: ARS: range 1 ARS start short (0)
nd_region region9: ARS: range 1 ARS start short (0)
nd_region region3: ARS: range 1 complete
nd_region region4: ARS: range 2 ARS start short (0)
nd_region region9: ARS: range 1 complete
nd_region region9: ARS: range 1 ARS start long (0)
nd_region region4: ARS: range 2 complete
nd_region region3: ARS: range 1 ARS start long (0)
nd_region region9: ARS: range 1 complete
nd_region region3: ARS: range 1 complete
nd_region region4: ARS: range 2 ARS start long (0)
nd_region region4: ARS: range 2 complete
...note that the nfit_test emulated driver provides 2 buses, that is why
some of the range indices are duplicated. Notice that each range
now successfully completes a short and long scrub.

When the ACPI UC error notifier gets called and ARS_REQ bit is set
with the passed in flag, we can receive -EBUSY if ARS_REQ bit is already
set for the nfit_spa->ars_state. When that happens, the ARS request is
dropped. That can potentially cause us to miss the unreported errors that
the on going ARS request does not receive. Add an ARS_REQ_REDO state that
will request short ARS upon ARS completion to grab any errors we missed.

The _LSR method indicates locked status via error-code-3 returned in the
_LSR payload. When any error is returned the payload of _LSR is
truncated to a zero-length buffer.
The _DSM path in comparison allows system software to retrieve the
locked status *and* namespace label area contents.

The notification of scrub completion happens within the scrub workqueue.
That can clearly race someone running scrub_show() and work_busy()
before the workqueue has a chance to flush the recently completed work.
Add a flag to reliably indicate the idle vs busy state. Without this
change applications using poll(2) to wait for scrub-completion may
falsely wakeup and read ARS as being busy even though the thread is
going idle and then hang indefinitely.

The devm_kzalloc() function has a 2-factor argument form, devm_kcalloc().
This patch replaces cases of:
devm_kzalloc(handle, a * b, gfp)
with:
devm_kcalloc(handle, a * b, gfp)
as well as handling cases of:
devm_kzalloc(handle, a * b * c, gfp)
with:
devm_kzalloc(handle, array3_size(a, b, c), gfp)
as it's slightly less ugly than:
devm_kcalloc(handle, array_size(a, b), c, gfp)
This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like:
devm_kzalloc(handle, 4 * 1024, gfp)
though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion.
Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were
dropped, since they're redundant.
Some manual whitespace fixes were needed in this patch, as Coccinelle
really liked to write "=devm_kcalloc..." instead of "= devm_kcalloc...".

The "Clear Error Unit" may be smaller than the ECC unit size on some
devices. For example, poison may be tracked at 64-byte alignment even
though the ECC unit is larger. Unless / until the ACPI specification
provides a non-ambiguous way to communicate this property do not expose
this to userspace.
Software that had been using this property must already be prepared for
the case where the property is not provided on older kernels, so it is
safe to remove this attribute.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"This cycle was was not something I ever want to repeat as there were
several late changes that have only now just settled.
Half of the branch up to commit d2c997c0f145 ("fs, dax: use
page->mapping to warn...") have been in -next for several releases.
The of_pmem driver and the address range scrub rework were late
arrivals, and the dax work was scaled back at the last moment.
The of_pmem driver missed a previous merge window due to an oversight.
A sense of obligation to rectify that miss is why it is included for
4.17. It has acks from PowerPC folks. Stephen reported a build failure
that only occurs when merging it with your latest tree, for now I have
fixed that up by disabling modular builds of of_pmem. A test merge
with your tree has received a build success report from the 0day robot
over 156 configs.
An initial version of the ARS rework was submitted before the merge
window. It is self contained to libnvdimm, a net code reduction, and
passing all unit tests.
The filesystem-dax changes are based on the wait_var_event()
functionality from tip/sched/core. However, late review feedback
showed that those changes regressed truncate performance to a large
degree. The branch was rewound to drop the truncate behavior change
and now only includes preparation patches and cleanups (with full acks
and reviews). The finalization of this dax-dma-vs-trnucate work will
need to wait for 4.18.
Summary:
- A rework of the filesytem-dax implementation provides for detection
of unmap operations (truncate / hole punch) colliding with
in-progress device-DMA. A fix for these collisions remains a
work-in-progress pending resolution of truncate latency and
starvation regressions.
- The of_pmem driver expands the users of libnvdimm outside of x86
and ACPI to describe an implementation of persistent memory on
PowerPC with Open Firmware / Device tree.
- Address Range Scrub (ARS) handling is completely rewritten to
account for the fact that ARS may run for 100s of seconds and there
is no platform defined way to cancel it. ARS will now no longer
block namespace initialization.
- The NVDIMM Namespace Label implementation is updated to handle
label areas as small as 1K, down from 128K.
- Miscellaneous cleanups and updates to unit test infrastructure"

After attempting to quickly retrieve known errors the kernel proceeds to
kick off a long running ARS. Add a module option to disable this
behavior at initialization time, or at new region discovery time.
Otherwise, ARS can be started manually regardless of the state of this
setting.

ARS is an operation that can take 10s to 100s of seconds to find media
errors that should rarely be present. If the platform crashes due to
media errors in persistent memory, the expectation is that the BIOS will
report those known errors in a 'short' ARS request.
A 'short' ARS request asks platform firmware to return an ARS payload
with all known errors, but without issuing a 'long' scrub. At driver
init a short request is issued to all PMEM ranges before registering
regions. Then, in the background, a long ARS is scheduled for each
region.
The ARS implementation is simplified to centralize ARS completion work
in the ars_complete() helper. The timeout is removed since there is no
facility to cancel ARS, and this otherwise arranges for system init to
never be blocked waiting for a 'long' ARS. The ars_state flags are used
to coordinate ARS requests from driver init, ARS requests from
userspace, and ARS requests in response to media error notifications.
Given that there is no notification of ARS completion the implementation
still needs to poll. It backs off exponentially to a maximum poll period
of 30 minutes.

acpi_nfit_query_poison() is awkward in that it requires an nfit_spa
argument in order to determine what max_ars value to use. Instead probe
for the minimum max_ars across all scrub-capable ranges in the system
and drop the nfit_spa argument.
This enables a larger rework / simplification of the ARS state machine
whereby the status can be retrieved once and then iterated over all
address ranges to reap completions.

In preparation for re-working the ARS implementation to better handle
short vs long ARS runs, introduce nfit_spa->ars_state. For now this just
replaces the nfit_spa->ars_required bit-field/flag, but going forward it
will be used to track ARS completion and make short vs long ARS
requests.

The persistence domain is a point in the platform where once writes
reach that destination the platform claims it will make them persistent
relative to power loss. In the ACPI NFIT this is currently communicated
as 2 bits in the "NFIT - Platform Capabilities Structure". The bits
comprise a hierarchy, i.e. bit0 "CPU Cache Flush to NVDIMM Durability on
Power Loss Capable" implies bit1 "Memory Controller Flush to NVDIMM
Durability on Power Loss Capable".
Commit 96c3a239054a "libnvdimm: expose platform persistence attr..."
shows the persistence domain as flags, but it's really an enumerated
hierarchy.
Fix this newly introduced user ABI to show the closest available
persistence domain before userspace develops dependencies on seeing, or
needing to develop code to tolerate, the raw NFIT flags communicated
through the libnvdimm-generic region attribute.

Pull libnvdimm and dax updates from Dan Williams:
"Save for a few late fixes, all of these commits have shipped in -next
releases since before the merge window opened, and 0day has given a
build success notification.
The ext4 touches came from Jan, and the xfs touches have Darrick's
reviewed-by. An xfstest for the MAP_SYNC feature has been through
a few round of reviews and is on track to be merged.
- Introduce MAP_SYNC and MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE, a mechanism to enable
'userspace flush' of persistent memory updates via filesystem-dax
mappings. It arranges for any filesystem metadata updates that may
be required to satisfy a write fault to also be flushed ("on disk")
before the kernel returns to userspace from the fault handler.
Effectively every write-fault that dirties metadata completes an
fsync() before returning from the fault handler. The new
MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE mapping type guarantees that the MAP_SYNC flag
is validated as supported by the filesystem's ->mmap() file
operation.
- Add support for the standard ACPI 6.2 label access methods that
replace the NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL (vendor specific) label methods.
This enables interoperability with environments that only implement
the standardized methods.
- Add support for the ACPI 6.2 NVDIMM media error injection methods.
- Add support for the NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL v1.6 DIMM commands for
latch last shutdown status, firmware update, SMART error injection,
and SMART alarm threshold control.
- Cleanup physical address information disclosures to be root-only.
- Fix revalidation of the DIMM "locked label area" status to support
dynamic unlock of the label area.
- Expand unit test infrastructure to mock the ACPI 6.2 Translate SPA
(system-physical-address) command and error injection commands.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files |
