* libnvdimm, namespace: sort namespaces by dpa at initDan Williams2016-10-071-3/+3
| | | | | | | Add more determinism to initial namespace device-name assignments by sorting the namespaces by starting dpa. Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>
* libnvdimm, namespace: allow multiple pmem-namespaces per region at scan timeDan Williams2016-10-071-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | If label scanning finds multiple valid pmem namespaces allow them to be surfaced rather than fail namespace scanning. Support for creating multiple namespaces per region is saved for a later patch. Note that this adds some new error messages to clarify which of the pmem namespaces in the set are potentially impacted by invalid labels. Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>
* pmem: kill __pmem address spaceDan Williams2016-07-121-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | The __pmem address space was meant to annotate codepaths that touch persistent memory and need to coordinate a call to wmb_pmem(). Now that wmb_pmem() is gone, there is little need to keep this annotation.

* libnvdimm, pmem, pfn: make pmem_rw_bytes generic and refactor pfn setupDan Williams2016-04-221-1/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In preparation for providing an alternative (to block device) access mechanism to persistent memory, convert pmem_rw_bytes() to nsio_rw_bytes(). This allows ->rw_bytes() functionality without requiring a 'struct pmem_device' to be instantiated. In other words, when ->rw_bytes() is in use i/o is driven through 'struct nd_namespace_io', otherwise it is driven through 'struct pmem_device' and the block layer. This consolidates the disjoint calls to devm_exit_badblocks() and devm_memunmap() into a common devm_nsio_disable() and cleans up the init path to use a unified pmem_attach_disk() implementation.

* libnvdimm, blk: move i/o infrastructure to nd_namespace_blkDan Williams2016-04-221-0/+2

* libnvdimm: async notification supportDan Williams2016-03-051-0/+7
| | | | | | | | In preparation for asynchronous address range scrub support add an ability for the pmem driver to dynamically consume address range scrub results. Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>
* libnvdimm: infrastructure for btt devicesDan Williams2015-06-251-5/+58
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | NVDIMM namespaces, in addition to accepting "struct bio" based requests, also have the capability to perform byte-aligned accesses. By default only the bio/block interface is used. However, if another driver can make effective use of the byte-aligned capability it can claim namespace interface and use the byte-aligned ->rw_bytes() interface. The BTT driver is the initial first consumer of this mechanism to allow adding atomic sector update semantics to a pmem or blk namespace. This patch is the sysfs infrastructure to allow configuring a BTT instance for a namespace. Enabling that BTT and performing i/o is in a subsequent patch.

* libnvdimm: blk labels and namespace instantiationDan Williams2015-06-241-0/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A blk label set describes a namespace comprised of one or more discontiguous dpa ranges on a single dimm. They may alias with one or more pmem interleave sets that include the given dimm. This is the runtime/volatile configuration infrastructure for sysfs manipulation of 'alt_name', 'uuid', 'size', and 'sector_size'. A later patch will make these settings persistent by writing back the label(s). Unlike pmem namespaces, multiple blk namespaces can be created per region. Once a blk namespace has been created a new seed device (unconfigured child of a parent blk region) is instantiated. As long as a region has 'available_size' != 0 new child namespaces may be created.

* libnvdimm: pmem label sets and namespace instantiation.Dan Williams2015-06-241-0/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A complete label set is a PMEM-label per-dimm per-interleave-set where all the UUIDs match and the interleave set cookie matches the hosting interleave set. Present sysfs attributes for manipulation of a PMEM-namespace's 'alt_name', 'uuid', and 'size' attributes. A later patch will make these settings persistent by writing back the label. Note that PMEM allocations grow forwards from the start of an interleave set (lowest dimm-physical-address (DPA)). BLK-namespaces that alias with a PMEM interleave set will grow allocations backward from the highest DPA.

* libnvdimm: support for legacy (non-aliasing) nvdimmsDan Williams2015-06-241-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The libnvdimm region driver is an intermediary driver that translates non-volatile "region"s into "namespace" sub-devices that are surfaced by persistent memory block-device drivers (PMEM and BLK). ACPI 6 introduces the concept that a given nvdimm may simultaneously offer multiple access modes to its media through direct PMEM load/store access, or windowed BLK mode. Existing nvdimms mostly implement a PMEM interface, some offer a BLK-like mode, but never both as ACPI 6 defines. If an nvdimm is single interfaced, then there is no need for dimm metadata labels. For these devices we can take the region boundaries directly to create a child namespace device (nd_namespace_io).

* libnvdimm, nvdimm: dimm driver and base libnvdimm device-driver infrastructureDan Williams2015-06-241-0/+39
* Implement the device-model infrastructure for loading modules and attaching drivers to nvdimm devices. This is a simple association of a nd-device-type number with a driver that has a bitmask of supported device types. To facilitate userspace bind/unbind operations 'modalias' and 'devtype', that also appear in the uevent, are added as generic sysfs attributes for all nvdimm devices. The reason for the device-type number is to support sub-types within a given parent devtype, be it a vendor-specific sub-type or otherwise. * The first consumer of this infrastructure is the driver for dimm devices. It simply uses control messages to retrieve and store the configuration-data image (label set) from each dimm. Note: nd_device_register() arranges for asynchronous registration of nvdimm bus devices by default.
