At initialization time the 'dimm' driver caches a copy of the memory device's label area and reserves address space for each of the namespaces defined. However, as can be seen below, the reservation occurs even when the index blocks are invalid: nvdimm nmem0: nvdimm_init_config_data: len: 131072 rc: 0 nvdimm nmem0: config data size: 131072 nvdimm nmem0: __nd_label_validate: nsindex0 labelsize 1 invalid nvdimm nmem0: __nd_label_validate: nsindex1 labelsize 1 invalid nvdimm nmem0: : pmem-6025e505: 0x1000000000 @ 0xf50000000 reserve <-- bad Gate dpa reservation on the presence of valid index blocks.

The default value for smart ctrl_temperature was the same as the threshold for ctrl_temperature. As a result, any arbitrary smart injection to the nfit_test dimm could cause this alarm to trigger and cause an acpi notification. Drop the default value to below the threshold, so that unrelated injections don't trigger notifications.

In preparation for re-working the ARS implementation to better handle short vs long ARS runs, introduce nfit_spa->ars_state. For now this just replaces the nfit_spa->ars_required bit-field/flag, but going forward it will be used to track ARS completion and make short vs long ARS requests.

For debug, it is useful for bus providers to be able to retrieve the 'struct device' associated with an nd_region instance that it registered.

Commit 1cf03c00 "nfit: scrub and register regions in a workqueue" mistakenly attempts to register a region per BLK aperture. There is nothing to register for individual apertures as they belong as a set to a BLK aperture group that are registered with a corresponding DIMM-control-region. Filter them for registration to prevent some needless devm_kzalloc() allocations.

Some BIOSen do not handle 0-byte transfer lengths for the _LSR and _LSW (label storage read/write) methods. This causes Linux to fallback to the deprecated _DSM path, or otherwise disable label support.

Per the ACPI specification the only functional purpose for a DIMM Control Region to be mapped into the system physical address space, from an OSPM perspective, is to support block-apertures.

When you load nfit_test you currently see the following error in dmesg: nfit_test nfit_test.0: found a zero length table '0' parsing nfit This happens because when we parse the nfit_test.0 table via acpi_nfit_init(), we specify a size of nfit_test->nfit_size. For the first pass through nfit_test.0 where (t->setup_hotplug == 0) this is the size of the entire buffer we allocated, including space for the hot plug structures, not the size that we've actually filled in. Fix this by only trying to parse the size of the structures that we've filled in. Signed-off-by: Ross Zwisler <ross.zwisler@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>

It turns out that we were overrunning the 'nfit_buf' buffer in nfit_test0_setup() in the (t->setup_hotplug == 1) case because we failed to correctly account for all of the acpi_nfit_memory_map structures. Fix the structure count which will increase the allocation size of 'nfit_buf' in nfit_test0_alloc(). Also add some WARN_ON()s to nfit_test0_setup() and nfit_test1_setup() to catch future issues where the size of the buffer doesn't match the amount of data we're writing.

In nfit_test0_setup() and nfit_test1_setup() we keep an 'offset' value which we use to calculate where in our 'nfit_buf' we will place our next structure. The handling of 'offset' and the calculation of the placement of the next structure is a bit inconsistent, though. We don't update 'offset' after we insert each structure, sometimes causing us to update it for multiple structures' sizes at once. When calculating the position of the next structure we aren't always able to just use 'offset', but sometimes have to add in other structure sizes as well. Fix this by updating 'offset' after each structure insertion in a consistent way, allowing us to always calculate the position of the next structure to be inserted by just using 'nfit_buf + offset'.

Re-enable deep flush so that users always have a way to be sure that a write makes it all the way out to media. Writes from the PMEM driver always arrive at the NVDIMM since movnt is used to bypass the cache, and the driver relies on the ADR (Asynchronous DRAM Refresh) mechanism to flush write buffers on power failure. The Deep Flush mechanism is there to explicitly write buffers to protect against (rare) ADR failure. This change prevents a regression in deep flush behavior so that applications can continue to depend on fsync() as a mechanism to trigger deep flush in the filesystem-DAX case.

Filesystem-DAX is incompatible with 'longterm' page pinning. Without page cache indirection a DAX mapping maps filesystem blocks directly. This means that the filesystem must not modify a file's block map while any page in a mapping is pinned. In order to prevent the situation of userspace holding of filesystem operations indefinitely, disallow 'longterm' Filesystem-DAX mappings. RDMA has the same conflict and the plan there is to add a 'with lease' mechanism to allow the kernel to notify userspace that the mapping is being torn down for block-map maintenance. Perhaps something similar can be put in place for vfio. Note that xfs and ext4 still report: "DAX enabled. Warning: EXPERIMENTAL, use at your own risk" ...at mount time, and resolving the dax-dma-vs-truncate problem is one of the last hurdles to remove that designation.
