badblocks are cleared only occur while the device is active.

The pmem driver attaches to both persistent and volatile memory ranges
advertised by the ACPI NFIT. When the region is volatile it is redundant

The dax_flush() operation can be turned into a nop on platforms where
firmware arranges for cpu caches to be flushed on a power-fail event.
The ACPI 6.2 specification defines a mechanism for the platform to
indicate this capability so the kernel can select the proper default.
However, for other platforms, the administrator must toggle this setting
manually.
Given this flush setting is a dax-specific mechanism we advertise it
through a 'dax' attribute group hanging off a host device. For example,
a 'pmem0' block-device gets a 'dax' sysfs-subdirectory with a
'write_cache' attribute to control response to dax cache flush requests.
This is similar to the 'queue/write_cache' attribute that appears under
block devices.

driver will simply not link to arch_wb_cache_pmem() in that case. Same
as before, pmem flushing is only defined for x86_64, via
clean_cache_range(), but it is straightforward to add other archs in the
future.
arch_wb_cache_pmem() is an exported function since the pmem module needs
to find it, but it is privately declared in drivers/nvdimm/pmem.h because
there are no consumers outside of the pmem driver.

Filesystem-DAX flushes caches whenever it writes to the address returned
through dax_direct_access() and when writing back dirty radix entries.
That flushing is only required in the pmem case, so add a dax operation
to allow pmem to take this extra action, but skip it for other dax
capable devices that do not provide a flush routine.
An example for this differentiation might be a volatile ram disk where
there is no expectation of persistence. In fact the pmem driver itself might
front such an address range specified by the NFIT. So, this "no flush"
property might be something passed down by the bus / libnvdimm.

The rules for which version of the label specification are in effect at
any given point in time are as follows:
1/ If a DIMM has an existing / valid index block then the version
specified is used regardless if it is a previous version.
2/ By default when the kernel is initializing new index blocks the
latest specification version (v1.2 at time of writing) is used.
3/ An environment that wants to force create v1.1 label-sets must
arrange for userspace to disable all active regions / namespaces /
dimms and write a valid set of v1.1 index blocks to the dimms.
Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>
Starting with v1.2 labels, 'address abstractions' can be hinted via an
address abstraction id that implies an info-block format. The standard
address abstraction in the specification is the v2 format of the
Block-Translation-Table (BTT). Support for that is saved for a later
patch, for now we add support for the Linux supported address
abstractions BTT (v1), PFN, and DAX.
The new 'holder_class' attribute for namespace devices is added for
tooling to specify the 'abstraction_guid' to store in the namespace label.
For v1.1 labels this field is undefined and any setting of
'holder_class' away from the default 'none' value will only have effect
until the driver is unloaded. Setting 'holder_class' requires that
whatever device tries to claim the namespace must be of the specified
class.

In support of improved interoperability between operating systems and pre-boot
environments the Intel proposed NVDIMM Namespace Specification [1], has been
adopted and modified to the the UEFI 2.7 NVDIMM Label Protocol [2].
Update the definitions of the namespace label data structures so that the new
format can be supported alongside the existing label format.
The new specification changes the default label size to 256 bytes, so
everywhere that relied on sizeof(struct nd_namespace_label) must now use the
sizeof_namespace_label() helper.
There should be no functional differences from these changes as the
default is still the v1.1 128-byte format. Future patches will move the
default to the v1.2 definition.

The pmem driver has a need to transfer data with a persistent memory
destination and be able to rely on the fact that the destination writes are not
cached. It is sufficient for the writes to be flushed to a cpu-store-buffer
(non-temporal / "movnt" in x86 terms), as we expect userspace to call fsync()
to ensure data-writes have reached a power-fail-safe zone in the platform. The
fsync() triggers a REQ_FUA or REQ_FLUSH to the pmem driver which will turn
around and fence previous writes with an "sfence".
Implement a __copy_from_user_inatomic_flushcache, memcpy_page_flushcache, and
memcpy_flushcache, that guarantee that the destination buffer is not dirty in
the cpu cache on completion. The new copy_from_iter_flushcache and sub-routines
will be used to replace the "pmem api" (include/linux/pmem.h +
arch/x86/include/asm/pmem.h). The availability of copy_from_iter_flushcache()
and memcpy_flushcache() are gated by the CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_UACCESS_FLUSHCACHE
config symbol, and fallback to copy_from_iter_nocache() and plain memcpy()
otherwise.
This is meant to satisfy the concern from Linus that if a driver wants to do
something beyond the normal nocache semantics it should be something private to
that driver [1], and Al's concern that anything uaccess related belongs with
the rest of the uaccess code [2].
The first consumer of this interface is a new 'copy_from_iter' dax operation so
that pmem can inject cache maintenance operations without imposing this
overhead on other dax-capable drivers.

Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:
"Incremental fixes and a small feature addition on top of the main
libnvdimm 4.12 pull request:
- Geert noticed that tinyconfig was bloated by BLOCK selecting DAX.
The size regression is fixed by moving all dax helpers into the
dax-core and only specifying "select DAX" for FS_DAX and
dax-capable drivers. He also asked for clarification of the
NR_DEV_DAX config option which, on closer look, does not need to be
a config option at all. Mike also throws in a DEV_DAX_PMEM fixup
for good measure.
- Ben's attention to detail on -stable patch submissions caught a
case where the recent fixes to arch_copy_from_iter_pmem() missed a
condition where we strand dirty data in the cache. This is tagged
for -stable and will also be included in the rework of the pmem api
to a proposed {memcpy,copy_user}_flushcache() interface for 4.13.
- Vishal adds a feature that missed the initial pull due to pending
review feedback. It allows the kernel to clear media errors when
initializing a BTT (atomic sector update driver) instance on a pmem
namespace.
- Ross noticed that the dax_device + dax_operations conversion broke
__dax_zero_page_range(). The nvdimm unit tests fail to check this
path, but xfstests immediately trips over it. No excuse for missing
this before submitting the 4.12 pull request.
These all pass the nvdimm unit tests and an xfstests spot check. The

If we had badblocks/poison in the metadata area of a BTT, recreating the

is because rw_bytes will only clear errors if the request being sent
down is 512B aligned and sized.
Make sure that when writing the map and info blocks, the rw_bytes being
sent are of the correct size/alignment. For the flog, instead of doing
the smaller log_entry writes only, first do a 'wipe' of the entire area
by writing zeroes in large enough chunks so that errors get cleared.

During init, we want to ensure error clearing happens, and the flag
marking process context allows nsio_rw_bytes to do that. When called
during IO, we're in atomic context, and error clearing can be skipped.

There are many code paths opencoding kvmalloc. Let's use the helper
instead. The main difference to kvmalloc is that those users are
usually not considering all the aspects of the memory allocator. E.g.
allocation requests <= 32kB (with 4kB pages) are basically never failing
and invoke OOM killer to satisfy the allocation. This sounds too
disruptive for something that has a reasonable fallback - the vmalloc.
On the other hand those requests might fallback to vmalloc even when the
memory allocator would succeed after several more reclaim/compaction
attempts previously. There is no guarantee something like that happens
though.
This patch converts many of those places to kv[mz]alloc* helpers because
they are more conservative.

The x86 conversion to the generic GUP code included a small change which causes
crashes and data corruption in the pmem code - not good.
The root cause is that the /dev/pmem driver code implicitly relies on the x86
get_user_pages() implementation doing a get_page() on the page refcount, because
get_page() does a get_zone_device_page() which properly refcounts pmem's separate
page struct arrays that are not present in the regular page struct structures.
(The pmem driver does this because it can cover huge memory areas.)
But the x86 conversion to the generic GUP code changed the get_page() to
page_cache_get_speculative() which is faster but doesn't do the
get_zone_device_page() call the pmem code relies on.
One way to solve the regression would be to change the generic GUP code to use
get_page(), but that would slow things down a bit and punish other generic-GUP
using architectures for an x86-ism they did not care about. (Arguably the pmem
driver was probably not working reliably for them: but nvdimm is an Intel
feature, so non-x86 exposure is probably still limited.)
So restructure the pmem code's interface with the MM instead: get rid of the
get/put_zone_device_page() distinction, integrate put_zone_device_page() into
__put_page() and and restructure the pmem completion-wait and teardown machinery:
Kirill points out that the calls to {get,put}_dev_pagemap() can be
removed from the mm fast path if we take a single get_dev_pagemap()
reference to signify that the page is alive and use the final put of the
page to drop that reference.
This does require some care to make sure that any waits for the
percpu_ref to drop to zero occur *after* devm_memremap_page_release(),
since it now maintains its own elevated reference.
This speeds up things while also making the pmem refcounting more robust going
forward.

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.

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.
