dax: Arrange for dax_supported check to span multiple devices

2019-05-20T22:02:08+00:00

Pankaj reports that starting with commit ad428cdb525a "dax: Check the
end of the block-device capacity with dax_direct_access()" device-mapper
no longer allows dax operation. This results from the stricter checks in
__bdev_dax_supported() that validate that the start and end of a
block-device map to the same 'pagemap' instance.

Teach the dax-core and device-mapper to validate the 'pagemap' on a
per-target basis. This is accomplished by refactoring the
bdev_dax_supported() internals into generic_fsdax_supported() which
takes a sector range to validate. Consequently generic_fsdax_supported()
is suitable to be used in a device-mapper ->iterate_devices() callback.
A new ->dax_supported() operation is added to allow composite devices to
split and route upper-level bdev_dax_supported() requests.

dax: make use of ->free_inode()

2019-05-02T02:43:26+00:00

we might want to drop ->destroy_inode() there - it's used only for
WARN_ON() now, and AFAICS that could be moved to ->evict_inode()
if we had one...

Merge tag 'devdax-for-5.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm

2019-03-16T20:05:32+00:00

Pull device-dax updates from Dan Williams:
 "New device-dax infrastructure to allow persistent memory and other
  "reserved" / performance differentiated memories, to be assigned to
  the core-mm as "System RAM".

  Some users want to use persistent memory as additional volatile
  memory. They are willing to cope with potential performance
  differences, for example between DRAM and 3D Xpoint, and want to use
  typical Linux memory management apis rather than a userspace memory
  allocator layered over an mmap() of a dax file. The administration
  model is to decide how much Persistent Memory (pmem) to use as System
  RAM, create a device-dax-mode namespace of that size, and then assign
  it to the core-mm. The rationale for device-dax is that it is a
  generic memory-mapping driver that can be layered over any "special
  purpose" memory, not just pmem. On subsequent boots udev rules can be
  used to restore the memory assignment.

  One implication of using pmem as RAM is that mlock() no longer keeps
  data off persistent media. For this reason it is recommended to enable
  NVDIMM Security (previously merged for 5.0) to encrypt pmem contents
  at rest. We considered making this recommendation an actively enforced
  requirement, but in the end decided to leave it as a distribution /
  administrator policy to allow for emulation and test environments that
  lack security capable NVDIMMs.

  Summary:

   - Replace the /sys/class/dax device model with /sys/bus/dax, and
     include a compat driver so distributions can opt-in to the new ABI.

   - Allow for an alternative driver for the device-dax address-range

   - Introduce the 'kmem' driver to hotplug / assign a device-dax
     address-range to the core-mm.

   - Arrange for the device-dax target-node to be onlined so that the
     newly added memory range can be uniquely referenced by numa apis"

NOTE! I'm not entirely happy with the whole "PMEM as RAM" model because
we currently have special - and very annoying rules in the kernel about
accessing PMEM only with the "MC safe" accessors, because machine checks
inside the regular repeat string copy functions can be fatal in some
(not described) circumstances.

And apparently the PMEM modules can cause that a lot more than regular
RAM.  The argument is that this happens because PMEM doesn't necessarily
get scrubbed at boot like RAM does, but that is planned to be added for
the user space tooling.

Quoting Dan from another email:
 "The exposure can be reduced in the volatile-RAM case by scanning for
  and clearing errors before it is onlined as RAM. The userspace tooling
  for that can be in place before v5.1-final. There's also runtime
  notifications of errors via acpi_nfit_uc_error_notify() from
  background scrubbers on the DIMM devices. With that mechanism the
  kernel could proactively clear newly discovered poison in the volatile
  case, but that would be additional development more suitable for v5.2.

  I understand the concern, and the need to highlight this issue by
  tapping the brakes on feature development, but I don't see PMEM as RAM
  making the situation worse when the exposure is also there via DAX in
  the PMEM case. Volatile-RAM is arguably a safer use case since it's
  possible to repair pages where the persistent case needs active
  application coordination"

dax: Check the end of the block-device capacity with dax_direct_access()

2019-02-21T05:12:50+00:00

The checks in __bdev_dax_supported() helped mitigate a potential data
corruption bug in the pmem driver's handling of section alignment
padding. Strengthen the checks, including checking the end of the range,
to validate the dev_pagemap, Xarray entries, and sector-to-pfn
translation established for pmem namespaces.

device-dax: Introduce bus + driver model

2019-01-07T05:24:46+00:00

In support of multiple device-dax instances per device-dax-region and
allowing the 'kmem' driver to attach to dax-instances instead of the
current device-node access, convert the dax sub-system from a class to a
bus. Recall that the kmem driver takes reserved / special purpose
memories and assigns them to be managed by the core-mm.

Aside from the fact the device-dax instances are registered and probed
on a bus, two other lifetime-management changes are made:

1/ Delay attaching a cdev until driver probe time

2/ A new run_dax() helper is introduced to allow restoring dax-operation
   after a kill_dax() event. So, at driver ->probe() time we run_dax()
   and at ->remove() time we kill_dax() and invalidate all mappings.

device-dax: Start defining a dax bus model

2019-01-07T05:24:46+00:00

Towards eliminating the dax_class, move the dax-device-attribute
enabling to a new bus.c file in the core. The amount of code
thrash of sub-sequent patches is reduced as no logic changes are made,
just pure code movement.

A temporary export of unregister_dex_dax() and dax_attribute_groups is
needed to preserve compilation, but those symbols become static again in
a follow-on patch.

dax: check for QUEUE_FLAG_DAX in bdev_dax_supported()

2018-06-28T20:06:08+00:00

Add an explicit check for QUEUE_FLAG_DAX to __bdev_dax_supported().  This
is needed for DM configurations where the first element in the dm-linear or
dm-stripe target supports DAX, but other elements do not.  Without this
check __bdev_dax_supported() will pass for such devices, letting a
filesystem on that device mount with the DAX option.
