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.

2018-11-06acpi/nfit, x86/mce: Handle only uncorrectable machine checksVishal Verma
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.

2018-10-17acpi, nfit: Further restrict userspace ARS start requestsDan Williams
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.

2018-10-17acpi, nfit: Fix Address Range Scrub completion trackingDan Williams
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.

2018-07-27acpi/nfit: queue issuing of ars when an uc error notification comes inDave Jiang
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.

2018-06-12treewide: devm_kzalloc() -> devm_kcalloc()Kees Cook
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...".

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.

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" * tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: (39 commits) libnvdimm, of_pmem: workaround OF_NUMA=n build error nfit, address-range-scrub: add module option to skip initial ars nfit, address-range-scrub: rework and simplify ARS state machine nfit, address-range-scrub: determine one platform max_ars value powerpc/powernv: Create platform devs for nvdimm buses doc/devicetree: Persistent memory region bindings libnvdimm: Add device-tree based driver libnvdimm: Add of_node to region and bus descriptors libnvdimm, region: quiet region probe libnvdimm, namespace: use a safe lookup for dimm device name libnvdimm, dimm: fix dpa reservation vs uninitialized label area libnvdimm, testing: update the default smart ctrl_temperature libnvdimm, testing: Add emulation for smart injection commands nfit, address-range-scrub: introduce nfit_spa->ars_state libnvdimm: add an api to cast a 'struct nd_region' to its 'struct device' nfit, address-range-scrub: fix scrub in-progress reporting dax, dm: allow device-mapper to operate without dax support dax: introduce CONFIG_DAX_DRIVER fs, dax: use page->mapping to warn if truncate collides with a busy page ext2, dax: introduce ext2_dax_aops ...

2018-04-07nfit, address-range-scrub: add module option to skip initial arsDan Williams
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.

2018-04-07nfit, address-range-scrub: rework and simplify ARS state machineDan Williams
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.

2018-04-07nfit, address-range-scrub: determine one platform max_ars valueDan Williams
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.

2018-03-21libnvdimm, nfit: fix persistence domain reportingDan Williams
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.

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman
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
