The function dax_pmem_probe() in drivers/dax/pmem.c is compiled under the
CONFIG_DEV_DAX_PMEM tri-state config option. This config option currently
only depends on CONFIG_NVDIMM_DAX, a bool, which means that the following
configuration is possible:
CONFIG_LIBNVDIMM=m
...
CONFIG_NVDIMM_DAX=y
CONFIG_DEV_DAX=y
CONFIG_DEV_DAX_PMEM=y
With this config LIBNVDIMM is compiled as a module with NVDIMM_DAX=y just
meaning that we will compile drivers/nvdimm/dax_devs.c into that module.
However, dax_pmem_probe() depends on several symbols defined in
drivers/nvdimm/dax_devs.c, which results in the following build errors:
drivers/built-in.o: In function `dax_pmem_probe':
linux/drivers/dax/pmem.c:70: undefined reference to `to_nd_dax'
linux/drivers/dax/pmem.c:74: undefined reference to
`nvdimm_namespace_common_probe'
linux/drivers/dax/pmem.c:80: undefined reference to `devm_nsio_enable'

drivers/built-in.o: In function `dax_pmem_init':
linux/drivers/dax/pmem.c:147: undefined reference to `__nd_driver_register'
Fix this by making NVDIMM_DAX a tristate. DEV_DAX_PMEM depends on
NVDIMM_DAX which depends on LIBNVDIMM. Since they are all now tristates,
if LIBNVDIMM is built as a kernel module DEV_DAX_PMEM will be as well.
This prevents dax_devs.c from being built as a built-in while its
dependencies are in the libnvdimm.ko module.

Short-circuit doomed-to-fail label validation attempts by skipping
labels that are outside the given region. For example a DIMM that has
multiple PMEM regions will waste time attempting to create namespaces
only to find that the interleave-set-cookie does not validate, e.g.:
nd_region region6: invalid cookie in label: 73e608dc-47b9-4b2a-b5c7-2d55a32e0c2
Similar to how we skip BLK labels when performing PMEM validation we can
skip out-of-range labels early.

Now that we have nd_region_available_dpa() able to handle the presence
of multiple PMEM allocations in aliased PMEM regions, reuse that same
infrastructure to track allocations from free space. In particular
handle allocating from an aliased PMEM region in the case where there
are dis-contiguous holes. The allocation for BLK and PMEM are
documented in the space_valid() helper:
BLK-space is valid as long as it does not precede a PMEM
allocation in a given region. PMEM-space must be contiguous
and adjacent to an existing existing allocation (if one
exists).

Instead of assuming that there will only ever be one allocated range at
the start of the region, account for additional namespaces that might
start at an offset from the region base.
After this change pmem namespaces now have a reason to carry an array of
resources similar to blk. Unifying the resource tracking infrastructure
in nd_namespace_common is a future cleanup candidate.

The free dpa (dimm-physical-address) space calculation reports how much
free space is available with consideration for aliased BLK + PMEM
regions. Recall that BLK capacity is allocated from high addresses and
PMEM is allocated from low addresses in their respective regions.
nd_region_available_dpa() accounts for the fact that the largest
encroachment (lowest starting address) into PMEM capacity by a BLK
allocation limits the available capacity to that point, regardless if
there is BLK allocation hole at a higher address. Similarly, for the
multi-pmem case we need to track the largest encroachment (highest
ending address) of a PMEM allocation in BLK capacity regardless of
whether there is an allocation hole that a BLK allocation could fill at
a lower address.

In preparation for allowing multiple namespace per pmem region, unify
blk and pmem label scanning. Given that blk regions already support
multiple namespaces, teaching that path how to do pmem namespace
scanning is an incremental step towards multiple pmem namespace support.
This should be functionally equivalent to the previous state in that

nvdimm_clear_poison cleared the user-visible badblocks, and sent
commands to the NVDIMM to clear the areas marked as 'poison', but it
neglected to clear the same areas from the internal poison_list which is
used to marshal ARS results before sorting them by namespace. As a
result, once on-demand ARS functionality was added:
37b137f nfit, libnvdimm: allow an ARS scrub to be triggered on demand
A scrub triggered from either sysfs or an MCE was found to be adding
stale entries that had been cleared from gendisk->badblocks, but were
still present in nvdimm_bus->poison_list. Additionally, the stale entries
could be triggered into producing stale disk->badblocks by simply disabling
and re-enabling the namespace or region.
This adds the missing step of clearing poison_list entries when clearing
poison, so that it is always in sync with badblocks.

pmem_do_bvec used to kmap_atomic at the begin, and only unmap at the
end. Things like nvdimm_clear_poison may want to do nvdimm subsystem
bookkeeping operations that may involve taking locks or doing memory

atomic context to just what needs it - the memcpy to/from pmem.

The definition of the flush hint table as:
void __iomem *flush_wpq[0][0];
...passed the unit test, but is broken as flush_wpq[0][1] and
flush_wpq[1][0] refer to the same entry. Fix this to use a helper that
calculates a slot in the table based on the geometry of flush hints in
the region. This is important to get right since virtualization
solutions use this mechanism to trigger hypervisor flushes to platform
persistence.

nd_activate_region() iomaps any hint addresses required when activating
a region. To prevent duplicate mappings it checks the PFN of the hint to
be mapped against the PFNs of the already mapped hints. Unfortunately it
doesn't convert the PFN back into a physical address before passing it
to devm_nvdimm_ioremap(). Instead it applies PHYS_PFN a second time
which ends about as well as you would imagine.

Bad blocks can be injected via /sys/block/pmemN/badblocks. In a situation
where legacy pmem is being used or a pmem region created by using memmap
kernel parameter, the injected bad blocks are not cleared due to
nvdimm_clear_poison() failing from lack of ndctl function pointer. In
this case we need to just return as handled and allow the bad blocks to
be cleared rather than fail.

'ndctl list --buses --dimms' does not list any NVDIMM-Ns since
they are considered as idle. ndctl checks if any driver is
attached to nmem device. nvdimm_probe() always fails in
nvdimm_init_nsarea() since NVDIMM-Ns do not implement optinal
ND_CMD_GET_CONFIG_DATA command.
Change nvdimm_probe() to accept the case that the CONFIG_DATA
command is not implemented for NVDIMM-Ns. The driver attaches
without ndd, which keeps it no-op to the device.

Per "ACPI 6.1 Section 9.20.3" NVDIMM devices, children of the ACPI0012
NVDIMM Root device, can receive health event notifications.
Given that these devices are precluded from registering a notification
handler via acpi_driver.acpi_device_ops (due to no _HID), we use
acpi_install_notify_handler() directly. The registered handler,
acpi_nvdimm_notify(), triggers a poll(2) event on the nmemX/nfit/flags
sysfs attribute when a health event notification is received.

Since commit 63a4cc24867d, bio->bi_rw contains flags in the lower
portion and the op code in the higher portions. This means that
old code that relies on manually setting bi_rw is most likely
going to be broken. Instead of letting that brokeness linger,
rename the member, to force old and out-of-tree code to break
at compile time instead of at runtime.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
- Replace pcommit with ADR / directed-flushing.
The pcommit instruction, which has not shipped on any product, is
deprecated. Instead, the requirement is that platforms implement
either ADR, or provide one or more flush addresses per nvdimm.
ADR (Asynchronous DRAM Refresh) flushes data in posted write buffers
to the memory controller on a power-fail event.
Flush addresses are defined in ACPI 6.x as an NVDIMM Firmware
Interface Table (NFIT) sub-structure: "Flush Hint Address Structure".
A flush hint is an mmio address that when written and fenced assures
that all previous posted writes targeting a given dimm have been
flushed to media.
- On-demand ARS (address range scrub).
Linux uses the results of the ACPI ARS commands to track bad blocks
in pmem devices. When latent errors are detected we re-scrub the
media to refresh the bad block list, userspace can also request a
re-scrub at any time.
- Support for the Microsoft DSM (device specific method) command
format.
- Support for EDK2/OVMF virtual disk device memory ranges.
- Various fixes and cleanups across the subsystem.

Normally, an ARS (Address Range Scrub) only happens at
boot/initialization time. There can however arise situations where a
bus-wide rescan is needed - notably, in the case of discovering a latent
media error, we should do a full rescan to figure out what other sectors
are bad, and thus potentially avoid triggering an mce on them in the
future. Also provide a sysfs trigger to start a bus-wide scrub.

A recent effort to add a new nvdimm bus provider attribute highlighted a
race between interrogating nvdimm_bus->nd_desc and nvdimm_bus tear down.
The typical way to handle these races is to take the device_lock() in
the attribute method and validate that the device is still active. In
order for a device to be 'active' it needs to be associated with a
driver. So, we create the small boilerplate for a driver and register
nvdimm_bus devices on the 'nvdimm_bus_type' bus.
A result of this change is that ndbusX devices now appear under
/sys/bus/nd/devices. In fact this makes /sys/class/nd somewhat
redundant, but removing that will need to take a long deprecation period
given its use by ndctl binaries in the field.
This change naturally pulls code from drivers/nvdimm/core.c to
drivers/nvdimm/bus.c, so it is a nice code organization clean-up as
well.

When the NFIT provides multiple flush hint addresses per-dimm it is
expressing that the platform is capable of processing multiple flush
requests in parallel. There is some fixed cost per flush request, let
the cost be shared in parallel on multiple cpus.
Since there may not be enough flush hint addresses for each cpu to have
one, keep a per-cpu index of the last used hint, hash it with current
pid, and assume that access pattern and scheduler randomness will keep
the flush-hint usage somewhat staggered across cpus.

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.

nd_region device driver data will be used in the namespace i/o path.
Re-order nd_region_remove() to ensure this data stays live across
namespace device removal

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.
