Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of driver core changes for 6.11-rc1.

  Lots of stuff in here, with not a huge diffstat, but apis are evolving
  which required lots of files to be touched. Highlights of the changes
  in here are:

   - platform remove callback api final fixups (Uwe took many releases
     to get here, finally!)

   - Rust bindings for basic firmware apis and initial driver-core
     interactions.

     It's not all that useful for a "write a whole driver in rust" type
     of thing, but the firmware bindings do help out the phy rust
     drivers, and the driver core bindings give a solid base on which
     others can start their work.

     There is still a long way to go here before we have a multitude of
     rust drivers being added, but it's a great first step.

   - driver core const api changes.

     This reached across all bus types, and there are some fix-ups for
     some not-common bus types that linux-next and 0-day testing shook
     out.

     This work is being done to help make the rust bindings more safe,
     as well as the C code, moving toward the end-goal of allowing us to
     put driver structures into read-only memory. We aren't there yet,
     but are getting closer.

   - minor devres cleanups and fixes found by code inspection

   - arch_topology minor changes

   - other minor driver core cleanups

  All of these have been in linux-next for a very long time with no
  reported problems"

driver core: have match() callback in struct bus_type take a const *

2024-07-03T13:16:54+00:00

In the match() callback, the struct device_driver * should not be
changed, so change the function callback to be a const *.  This is one
step of many towards making the driver core safe to have struct
device_driver in read-only memory.

Because the match() callback is in all busses, all busses are modified
to handle this properly.  This does entail switching some container_of()
calls to container_of_const() to properly handle the constant *.

For some busses, like PCI and USB and HV, the const * is cast away in
the match callback as those busses do want to modify those structures at
this point in time (they have a local lock in the driver structure.)
That will have to be changed in the future if they wish to have their
struct device * in read-only-memory.

dax/bus.c: use the right locking mode (read vs write) in size_show

2024-05-07T17:37:01+00:00

In size_show(), the dax_dev_rwsem only needs a read lock, but was
acquiring a write lock.  Change it to down_read_interruptible() so it
doesn't unnecessarily hold a write lock.

dax/bus.c: fix locking for unregister_dax_dev / unregister_dax_mapping paths

2024-05-07T17:37:00+00:00

Commit c05ae9d85b47 ("dax/bus.c: replace driver-core lock usage by a local
rwsem") aimed to undo device_lock() abuses for protecting changes to
dax-driver internal data-structures like the dax_region resource tree to
device-dax-instance range structures.  However, the device_lock() was
legitimately enforcing that devices to be deleted were not current
actively attached to any driver nor assigned any capacity from the region.

As a result of the device_lock restoration in delete_store(), the
conditional locking in unregister_dev_dax() and unregister_dax_mapping()
can be removed.

dax/bus.c: replace WARN_ON_ONCE() with lockdep asserts

2024-05-07T17:37:00+00:00

Patch series "dax/bus.c: Fixups for dax-bus locking", v3.

Commit Fixes: c05ae9d85b47 ("dax/bus.c: replace driver-core lock usage by
a local rwsem") introduced a few problems that this series aims to fix. 
Add back device_lock() where it was correctly used (during device
manipulation operations), remove conditional locking in
unregister_dax_dev() and unregister_dax_mapping(), use non-interruptible
versions of rwsem locks when not called from a user process, and fix up a
write vs.  read usage of an rwsem.


This patch (of 4):

In [1], Dan points out that all of the WARN_ON_ONCE() usage in the
referenced patch should be replaced with lockdep_assert_held, or
lockdep_held_assert_write().  Replace these as appropriate.

memory tier: dax/kmem: introduce an abstract layer for finding, allocating, and putting memory types

2024-05-06T00:53:25+00:00

Patch series "Improved Memory Tier Creation for CPUless NUMA Nodes", v11.

When a memory device, such as CXL1.1 type3 memory, is emulated as normal
memory (E820_TYPE_RAM), the memory device is indistinguishable from normal
DRAM in terms of memory tiering with the current implementation.  The
current memory tiering assigns all detected normal memory nodes to the
same DRAM tier.  This results in normal memory devices with different
attributions being unable to be assigned to the correct memory tier,
leading to the inability to migrate pages between different types of
memory. 
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/PH0PR08MB7955E9F08CCB64F23963B5C3A860A@PH0PR08MB7955.namprd08.prod.outlook.com/T/

This patchset automatically resolves the issues.  It delays the
initialization of memory tiers for CPUless NUMA nodes until they obtain
HMAT information and after all devices are initialized at boot time,
eliminating the need for user intervention.  If no HMAT is specified, it
falls back to using `default_dram_type`.

Example usecase:
We have CXL memory on the host, and we create VMs with a new system memory
device backed by host CXL memory.  We inject CXL memory performance
attributes through QEMU, and the guest now sees memory nodes with
performance attributes in HMAT.  With this change, we enable the guest
kernel to construct the correct memory tiering for the memory nodes.


This patch (of 2):

Since different memory devices require finding, allocating, and putting
memory types, these common steps are abstracted in this patch, enhancing
the scalability and conciseness of the code.
