Pull misc DAX updates from Vishal Verma:
"DAX error handling for 4.7
- Until now, dax has been disabled if media errors were found on any
device. This enables the use of DAX in the presence of these
errors by making all sector-aligned zeroing go through the driver.
- The driver (already) has the ability to clear errors on writes that
are sent through the block layer using 'DSMs' defined in ACPI 6.1.
Other misc changes:
- When mounting DAX filesystems, check to make sure the partition is
page aligned. This is a requirement for DAX, and previously, we
allowed such unaligned mounts to succeed, but subsequent
reads/writes would fail.
- Misc/cleanup fixes from Jan that remove unused code from DAX
related to zeroing, writeback, and some size checks"

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"The bulk of this update was stabilized before the merge window and
appeared in -next. The "device dax" implementation was revised this
week in response to review feedback, and to address failures detected
by the recently expanded ndctl unit test suite.
Not included in this pull request are two dax topic branches (dax
error handling, and dax radix-tree locking). These topics were
deferred to get a few more days of -next integration testing, and to
coordinate a branch baseline with Ted and the ext4 tree. Vishal and
Ross will send the error handling and locking topics respectively in
the next few days.
This branch has received a positive build result from the kbuild robot
across 226 configs.
Summary:
- Device DAX for persistent memory: 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:
a) Guarantees fault granularity with respect to a given page size
(pte, pmd, or pud) set at configuration time.
b) Enforces deterministic behavior by being strict about what
fault scenarios are supported.
Persistent memory is the first target, but the mechanism is also
targeted for exclusive allocations of performance/feature
differentiated memory ranges.
- Support for the HPE DSM (device specific method) command formats.
This enables management of these first generation devices until a
unified DSM specification materializes.
- Further ACPI 6.1 compliance with support for the common dimm
identifier format.
- Various fixes and cleanups across the subsystem"

blkdev_dax_capable() is similar to bdev_dax_supported(), but needs
to remain as a separate interface for checking dax capability of
a raw block device.
Rename and relocate blkdev_dax_capable() to keep them maintained
consistently, and call bdev_direct_access() for the dax capability
check.
There is no change in the behavior.

DAX imposes additional requirements to a device. Add
bdev_dax_supported() which performs all the precondition checks
necessary for filesystem to mount the device with dax option.
Also add a new check to verify if a partition is aligned by 4KB.
When a partition is unaligned, any dax read/write access fails,
except for metadata update.

In preparation of moving DAX capability checks to the block layer
from filesystem code, add a VFS message interface that aligns with
filesystem's message format.
For instance, a vfs_msg() message followed by XFS messages in case
of a dax mount error may look like:
VFS (pmem0p1): error: unaligned partition for dax
XFS (pmem0p1): DAX unsupported by block device. Turning off DAX.
XFS (pmem0p1): Mounting V5 Filesystem
:
vfs_msg() is largely based on ext4_msg().

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.
This promise never materialized. And unlikely will.
We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.
Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.
Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are
not.
The changes are pretty straight-forward:
- <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};
- page_cache_get() -> get_page();
- page_cache_release() -> put_page();
This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.
The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.
There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

Previously calls to dax_writeback_mapping_range() for all DAX filesystems
(ext2, ext4 & xfs) were centralized in filemap_write_and_wait_range().
dax_writeback_mapping_range() needs a struct block_device, and it used
to get that from inode->i_sb->s_bdev. This is correct for normal inodes
mounted on ext2, ext4 and XFS filesystems, but is incorrect for DAX raw
block devices and for XFS real-time files.
Instead, call dax_writeback_mapping_range() directly from the filesystem
->writepages function so that it can supply us with a valid block
device. This also fixes DAX code to properly flush caches in response
to sync(2).

Previously the pfn_mkwrite() fault handler for raw block devices called
bldev_dax_fault() -> __dax_fault() to do a full DAX page fault.
Really what the pfn_mkwrite() fault handler needs to do is call
dax_pfn_mkwrite() to make sure that the radix tree entry for the given
PTE is marked as dirty so that a follow-up fsync or msync call will
flush it durably to media.

Dynamically enabling DAX requires that the page cache first be flushed
and invalidated. This must occur atomically with the change of DAX mode
otherwise we confuse the fsync/msync tracking and violate data

Add support for tracking dirty DAX entries in the struct address_space
radix tree. This tree is already used for dirty page writeback, and it
already supports the use of exceptional (non struct page*) entries.
In order to properly track dirty DAX pages we will insert new
exceptional entries into the radix tree that represent dirty DAX PTE or
PMD pages. These exceptional entries will also contain the writeback
addresses for the PTE or PMD faults that we can use at fsync/msync time.
There are currently two types of exceptional entries (shmem and shadow)
that can be placed into the radix tree, and this adds a third. We rely
on the fact that only one type of exceptional entry can be found in a
given radix tree based on its usage. This happens for free with DAX vs
shmem but we explicitly prevent shadow entries from being added to radix
trees for DAX mappings.
The only shadow entries that would be generated for DAX radix trees
would be to track zero page mappings that were created for holes. These
pages would receive minimal benefit from having shadow entries, and the
choice to have only one type of exceptional entry in a given radix tree
makes the logic simpler both in clear_exceptional_entry() and in the
rest of DAX.

The DAX implementation needs to protect new calls to ->direct_access()
and usage of its return value against the driver for the underlying
block device being disabled. Use blk_queue_enter()/blk_queue_exit() to
hold off blk_cleanup_queue() from proceeding, or otherwise fail new
mapping requests if the request_queue is being torn down.
This also introduces blk_dax_ctl to simplify the interface from fs/dax.c
through dax_map_atomic() to bdev_direct_access().

Mark those kmem allocations that are known to be easily triggered from
userspace as __GFP_ACCOUNT/SLAB_ACCOUNT, which makes them accounted to
memcg. For the list, see below:
- threadinfo
- task_struct
- task_delay_info
- pid
- cred
- mm_struct
- vm_area_struct and vm_region (nommu)
- anon_vma and anon_vma_chain
- signal_struct
- sighand_struct
- fs_struct
- files_struct
- fdtable and fdtable->full_fds_bits
- dentry and external_name
- inode for all filesystems. This is the most tedious part, because
most filesystems overwrite the alloc_inode method.
The list is far from complete, so feel free to add more objects.
Nevertheless, it should be close to "account everything" approach and
keep most workloads within bounds. Malevolent users will be able to
breach the limit, but this was possible even with the former "account
everything" approach (simply because it did not account everything in

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"The bulk of this has appeared in -next and independently received a
build success notification from the kbuild robot. The 'for-4.5/block-
dax' topic branch was rebased over the weekend to drop the "block
device end-of-life" rework that Al would like to see re-implemented
with a notifier, and to address bug reports against the badblocks
integration.
There is pending feedback against "libnvdimm: Add a poison list and
export badblocks" received last week. Linda identified some localized
fixups that we will handle incrementally.
Summary:
- Media error handling: The 'badblocks' implementation that
originated in md-raid is up-levelled to a generic capability of a
block device. This initial implementation is limited to being
consulted in the pmem block-i/o path. Later, 'badblocks' will be
consulted when creating dax mappings.
- Raw block device dax: For virtualization and other cases that want
large contiguous mappings of persistent memory, add the capability
to dax-mmap a block device directly.
- Increased /dev/mem restrictions: Add an option to treat all
io-memory as IORESOURCE_EXCLUSIVE, i.e. disable /dev/mem access
while a driver is actively using an address range. This behavior
is controlled via the new CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM option and can be
overridden by the existing "iomem=relaxed" kernel command line
option.
- Miscellaneous fixes include a 'pfn'-device huge page alignment fix,
block device shutdown crash fix, and other small libnvdimm fixes"

If an application wants exclusive access to all of the persistent memory
provided by an NVDIMM namespace it can use this raw-block-dax facility
to forgo establishing a filesystem. This capability is targeted
primarily to hypervisors wanting to provision persistent memory for
guests. It can be disabled / enabled dynamically via the new BLKDAXSET
ioctl.

Since 52ebea749aae ("writeback: make backing_dev_info host
cgroup-specific bdi_writebacks") inode, at some point in its lifetime,
gets attached to a wb (struct bdi_writeback). Detaching happens on
evict, in inode_detach_wb() called from __destroy_inode(), and involves
updating wb.
However, detaching an internal bdev inode from its wb in
__destroy_inode() is too late. Its bdi and by extension root wb are
embedded into struct request_queue, which has different lifetime rules
and can be freed long before the final bdput() is called (can be from
__fput() of a corresponding /dev inode, through dput() - evict() -
bd_forget(). bdevs hold onto the underlying disk/queue pair only while
opened; as soon as bdev is closed all bets are off. In fact,
disk/queue can be gone before __blkdev_put() even returns:
1499 static void __blkdev_put(struct block_device *bdev, fmode_t mode, int for_part)
1500 {
...
1518 if (bdev->bd_contains == bdev) {
1519 if (disk->fops->release)
1520 disk->fops->release(disk, mode);
[ Driver puts its references to disk/queue ]
1521 }
1522 if (!bdev->bd_openers) {
1523 struct module *owner = disk->fops->owner;
1524
1525 disk_put_part(bdev->bd_part);
1526 bdev->bd_part = NULL;
1527 bdev->bd_disk = NULL;
1528 if (bdev != bdev->bd_contains)
1529 victim = bdev->bd_contains;
1530 bdev->bd_contains = NULL;
1531
1532 put_disk(disk);
[ We put ours, the queue is gone
The last bdput() would result in a write to invalid memory ]
1533 module_put(owner);
...
1539 }
Since bdev inodes are special anyway, detach them in __blkdev_put()
after clearing inode's dirty bits, turning the problematic
inode_detach_wb() in __destroy_inode() into a noop.
add_disk() grabs its disk->queue since 523e1d399ce0 ("block: make
gendisk hold a reference to its queue"), so the old ->release comment
is removed in favor of the new inode_detach_wb() comment.

Up until now the_integrity profile has been dynamically allocated and
attached to struct gendisk after the disk has been made active.
This causes problems because NVMe devices need to register the profile
prior to the partition table being read due to a mandatory metadata
buffer requirement. In addition, DM goes through hoops to deal with
preallocating, but not initializing integrity profiles.
Since the integrity profile is small (4 bytes + a pointer), Christoph
suggested moving it to struct gendisk proper. This requires several
changes:
- Moving the blk_integrity definition to genhd.h.
- Inlining blk_integrity in struct gendisk.
- Removing the dynamic allocation code.
- Adding helper functions which allow gendisk to set up and tear down
the integrity sysfs dir when a disk is added/deleted.
- Adding a blk_integrity_revalidate() callback for updating the stable
pages bdi setting.
- The calls that depend on whether a device has an integrity profile or
not now key off of the bi->profile pointer.
- Simplifying the integrity support routines in DM (Mike Snitzer).

In order to handle the !CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGES case, we need to
return VM_FAULT_FALLBACK from the inlined dax_pmd_fault(), which is
defined in linux/mm.h. Given that we don't want to include <linux/mm.h>
in <linux/fs.h>, the easiest solution is to move the DAX-related
functions to a new header, <linux/dax.h>. We could also have moved
VM_FAULT_* definitions to a new header, or a different header that isn't
quite such a boil-the-ocean header as <linux/mm.h>, but this felt like
the best option.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"This update has successfully completed a 0day-kbuild run and has
appeared in a linux-next release. The changes outside of the typical
drivers/nvdimm/ and drivers/acpi/nfit.[ch] paths are related to the
removal of IORESOURCE_CACHEABLE, the introduction of memremap(), and
the introduction of ZONE_DEVICE + devm_memremap_pages().
Summary:
- Introduce ZONE_DEVICE and devm_memremap_pages() as a generic
mechanism for adding device-driver-discovered memory regions to the
kernel's direct map.
This facility is used by the pmem driver to enable pfn_to_page()
operations on the page frames returned by DAX ('direct_access' in
'struct block_device_operations').
For now, the 'memmap' allocation for these "device" pages comes
from "System RAM". Support for allocating the memmap from device
memory will arrive in a later kernel.
- Introduce memremap() to replace usages of ioremap_cache() and
ioremap_wt(). memremap() drops the __iomem annotation for these
mappings to memory that do not have i/o side effects. The
replacement of ioremap_cache() with memremap() is limited to the
pmem driver to ease merging the api change in v4.3.
Completion of the conversion is targeted for v4.4.
- Similar to the usage of memcpy_to_pmem() + wmb_pmem() in the pmem
driver, update the VFS DAX implementation and PMEM api to provide
persistence guarantees for kernel operations on a DAX mapping.
- Convert the ACPI NFIT 'BLK' driver to map the block apertures as
cacheable to improve performance.
- Miscellaneous updates and fixes to libnvdimm including support for
issuing "address range scrub" commands, clarifying the optimal
'sector size' of pmem devices, a clarification of the usage of the
ACPI '_STA' (status) property for DIMM devices, and other minor
fixes"

The process of reducing contention on per-superblock inode lists
starts with moving the locking to match the per-superblock inode
list. This takes the global lock out of the picture and reduces the
contention problems to within a single filesystem. This doesn't get
rid of contention as the locks still have global CPU scope, but it
does isolate operations on different superblocks form each other.

Pull libnvdimm subsystem from Dan Williams:
"The libnvdimm sub-system introduces, in addition to the
libnvdimm-core, 4 drivers / enabling modules:
NFIT:
Instantiates an "nvdimm bus" with the core and registers memory
devices (NVDIMMs) enumerated by the ACPI 6.0 NFIT (NVDIMM Firmware
Interface table).
After registering NVDIMMs the NFIT driver then registers "region"
devices. A libnvdimm-region defines an access mode and the
boundaries of persistent memory media. A region may span multiple
NVDIMMs that are interleaved by the hardware memory controller. In
turn, a libnvdimm-region can be carved into a "namespace" device and
bound to the PMEM or BLK driver which will attach a Linux block
device (disk) interface to the memory.
PMEM:
Initially merged in v4.1 this driver for contiguous spans of
persistent memory address ranges is re-worked to drive
PMEM-namespaces emitted by the libnvdimm-core.
In this update the PMEM driver, on x86, gains the ability to assert
that writes to persistent memory have been flushed all the way
through the caches and buffers in the platform to persistent media.
See memcpy_to_pmem() and wmb_pmem().
BLK:
This new driver enables access to persistent memory media through
"Block Data Windows" as defined by the NFIT. The primary difference
of this driver to PMEM is that only a small window of persistent
memory is mapped into system address space at any given point in
time.
Per-NVDIMM windows are reprogrammed at run time, per-I/O, to access
different portions of the media. BLK-mode, by definition, does not
support DAX.
BTT:
This is a library, optionally consumed by either PMEM or BLK, that
converts a byte-accessible namespace into a disk with atomic sector
update semantics (prevents sector tearing on crash or power loss).
The sinister aspect of sector tearing is that most applications do
not know they have a atomic sector dependency. At least today's
disk's rarely ever tear sectors and if they do one almost certainly
gets a CRC error on access. NVDIMMs will always tear and always
silently. Until an application is audited to be robust in the
presence of sector-tearing the usage of BTT is recommended.
