Device DAX is the device-centric analogue of Filesystem DAX (CONFIG_FS_DAX). It allows memory ranges to be allocated and mapped without need of an intervening file system. Device DAX is strict, precise and predictable. Specifically this interface: 1/ Guarantees fault granularity with respect to a given page size (pte, pmd, or pud) set at configuration time. 2/ Enforces deterministic behavior by being strict about what fault scenarios are supported. For example, by forcing MADV_DONTFORK semantics and omitting MAP_PRIVATE support device-dax guarantees that a mapping always behaves/performs the same once established. It is the "what you see is what you get" access mechanism to differentiated memory vs filesystem DAX which has filesystem specific implementation semantics. Persistent memory is the first target, but the mechanism is also targeted for exclusive allocations of performance differentiated memory ranges. This commit is limited to the base device driver infrastructure to associate a dax device with pmem range.

The dax_pmem driver was implementing an empty ->remove() method to satisfy the nvdimm bus driver that unconditionally calls ->remove(). Teach the core bus driver to check if ->remove() is NULL to remove that requirement.

We want to use the alignment as the allocation and mapping unit. Previously this information was only useful for establishing the data offset, but now it is important to remember the granularity for the later use. Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>

We may want to subdivide a device-dax range into multiple devices so that each can have separate permissions or naming. Reserve 128K of label space by default so we have the capability of making allocation decisions persistent. This reservation is not something we can add later since it would result in the default size of a device-dax range changing between kernel versions.

Device DAX is the device-centric analogue of Filesystem DAX (CONFIG_FS_DAX). It allows persistent memory ranges to be allocated and mapped without need of an intervening file system. This initial infrastructure arranges for a libnvdimm pfn-device to be represented as a different device-type so that it can be attached to a driver other than the pmem driver.

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.

Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe: "A few fixes for the current series. This contains: - Two fixes for NVMe: One fixes a reset race that can be triggered by repeated insert/removal of the module. The other fixes an issue on some platforms, where we get probe timeouts since legacy interrupts isn't working. This used not to be a problem since we had the worker thread poll for completions, but since that was killed off, it means those poor souls can't successfully probe their NVMe device. Use a proper IRQ check and probe (msi-x -> msi ->legacy), like most other drivers to work around this. Both from Keith. - A loop corruption issue with offset in iters, from Ming Lei. - A fix for not having the partition stat per cpu ref count initialized before sending out the KOBJ_ADD, which could cause user space to access the counter prior to initialization.

Starting from commit e36f6204(block: split bios to max possible length), block core starts to split bio in the middle of bvec. Unfortunately loop dio/aio doesn't consider this situation, and always treat 'iter.iov_offset' as zero. Then filesystem corruption is observed. This patch figures out the offset of the base bvevc via 'bio->bi_iter.bi_bvec_done' and fixes the issue by passing the offset to iov iterator.
