Presently PAPR doesn't support injecting smart errors on an
NVDIMM. This makes testing the NVDIMM health reporting functionality
difficult as simulating NVDIMM health related events need a hacked up
qemu version.
To solve this problem this patch proposes simulating certain set of
NVDIMM health related events in papr_scm. Specifically 'fatal' health
state and 'dirty' shutdown state. These error can be injected via the
user-space 'ndctl-inject-smart(1)' command. With the proposed patch and
corresponding ndctl patches following command flow is expected:
$ sudo ndctl list -DH -d nmem0
...
"health_state":"ok",
"shutdown_state":"clean",
...
# inject unsafe shutdown and fatal health error
$ sudo ndctl inject-smart nmem0 -Uf
...
"health_state":"fatal",
"shutdown_state":"dirty",
...
# uninject all errors
$ sudo ndctl inject-smart nmem0 -N
...
"health_state":"ok",
"shutdown_state":"clean",
...
The patch adds a new member 'health_bitmap_inject_mask' inside struct
papr_scm_priv which is then bitwise ANDed to the health bitmap fetched from the
hypervisor. The value for 'health_bitmap_inject_mask' is accessible from sysfs
at nmemX/papr/health_bitmap_inject.
A new PDSM named 'SMART_INJECT' is proposed that accepts newly
introduced 'struct nd_papr_pdsm_smart_inject' as payload thats
exchanged between libndctl and papr_scm to indicate the requested
smart-error states.
When the processing the PDSM 'SMART_INJECT', papr_pdsm_smart_inject()
constructs a pair or 'inject_mask' and 'clear_mask' bitmaps from the payload
and bit-blt it to the 'health_bitmap_inject_mask'. This ensures the after being
fetched from the hypervisor, the health_bitmap reflects requested smart-error
states.
