Yi reported[1] that after commit a3619190d62e ("libnvdimm/pfn: stop
padding pmem namespaces to section alignment"), it was no longer
possible to create a device dax namespace with a 1G alignment.  The
reason was that the pmem region was not itself 1G-aligned.  The code
happily skips past the first 512M, but fails to account for a now
misaligned end offset (since space was allocated starting at that
misaligned address, and extending for size GBs).  Reintroduce
end_trunc, so that the code correctly handles the misaligned end
address.  This results in the same behavior as before the introduction
of the offending commit.

Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:
 "A collection of locking and async operations fixes for v5.3-rc2. These
  had been soaking in a branch targeting the merge window, but missed
  due to a regression hunt. This fixed up version has otherwise been in
  -next this past week with no reported issues.

  In order to gain confidence in the locking changes the pull also
  includes a debug / instrumentation patch to enable lockdep coverage
  for libnvdimm subsystem operations that depend on the device_lock for
  exclusion. As mentioned in the changelog it is a hack, but it works
  and documents the locking expectations of the sub-system in a way that
  others can use lockdep to verify. The driver core touches got an ack
  from Greg.

  Summary:

   - Fix duplicate device_unregister() calls (multiple threads competing
     to do unregister work when scheduling device removal from a sysfs
     attribute of the self-same device).

   - Fix badblocks registration order bug. Ensure region badblocks are
     initialized in advance of namespace registration.

   - Fix a deadlock between the bus lock and probe operations.

   - Export device-core infrastructure to coordinate async operations
     via the device -&gt;dead state.

   - Add device-core infrastructure to validate device_lock() usage with
     lockdep"

Merge yet more updates from Andrew Morton:
 "The rest of MM and a kernel-wide procfs cleanup.

  Summary of the more significant patches:

   - Patch series "mm/memory_hotplug: Factor out memory block

     Some spring-cleaning of the memory hotplug code, notably in
     drivers/base/memory.c

   - "mm: thp: fix false negative of shmem vma's THP eligibility". Yang

     Fix /proc/pid/smaps output for THP pages used in shmem.

   - "resource: fix locking in find_next_iomem_res()" + 1. Nadav Amit.

     Bugfix and speedup for kernel/resource.c

   - Patch series "mm: Further memory block device cleanups", David
     Hildenbrand.

     More spring-cleaning of the memory hotplug code.

   - Patch series "mm: Sub-section memory hotplug support". Dan
     Williams.

     Generalise the memory hotplug code so that pmem can use it more
     completely. Then remove the hacks from the libnvdimm code which
     were there to work around the memory-hotplug code's constraints.

   - "proc/sysctl: add shared variables for range check", Matteo Croce.

     We have about 250 instances of

          int zero;
          ...
                  .extra1 = &amp;zero,

     in the tree. This is a tree-wide sweep to make all those private
     "zero"s and "one"s use global variables.

Now that the mm core supports section-unaligned hotplug of ZONE_DEVICE
memory, we no longer need to add padding at pfn/dax device creation
time.  The kernel will still honor padding established by older kernels.

<content type='text'>
At namespace creation time there is the potential for the "expected to
be zero" fields of a 'pfn' info-block to be filled with indeterminate
data.  While the kernel buffer is zeroed on allocation it is immediately
overwritten by nd_pfn_validate() filling it with the current contents of
the on-media info-block location.  For fields like, 'flags' and the
'padding' it potentially means that future implementations can not rely on
those fields being zero.

In preparation to stop using the 'start_pad' and 'end_trunc' fields for
section alignment, arrange for fields that are not explicitly
initialized to be guaranteed zero.  Bump the minor version to indicate
it is safe to assume the 'padding' and 'flags' are zero.  Otherwise,
this corruption is expected to benign since all other critical fields
are explicitly initialized.

Note The cc: stable is about spreading this new policy to as many
kernels as possible not fixing an issue in those kernels.  It is not
until the change titled "libnvdimm/pfn: Stop padding pmem namespaces to
section alignment" where this improper initialization becomes a problem.
So if someone decides to backport "libnvdimm/pfn: Stop padding pmem
namespaces to section alignment" (which is not tagged for stable), make
sure this pre-requisite is flagged.

For good reason, the standard device_lock() is marked
lockdep_set_novalidate_class() because there is simply no sane way to
describe the myriad ways the device_lock() ordered with other locks.
However, that leaves subsystems that know their own local device_lock()
ordering rules to find lock ordering mistakes manually. Instead,
introduce an optional / additional lockdep-enabled lock that a subsystem
can acquire in all the same paths that the device_lock() is acquired.

A conversion of the NFIT driver and NVDIMM subsystem to a
lockdep-validate device_lock() scheme is included. The
debug_nvdimm_lock() implementation implements the correct lock-class and
stacking order for the libnvdimm device topology hierarchy.

Yes, this is a hack, but hopefully it is a useful hack for other
subsystems device_lock() debug sessions. Quoting Greg:

    "Yeah, it feels a bit hacky but it's really up to a subsystem to mess up
     using it as much as anything else, so user beware :)

     I don't object to it if it makes things easier for you to debug."

A multithreaded namespace creation/destruction stress test currently

In this sequence an 'nd_dax' device is being probed and trying to take
the lock on its backing namespace to validate that the 'nd_dax' device
indeed has exclusive access to the backing namespace. Meanwhile, another
thread is trying to update the uuid property of that same backing
namespace. So one thread is in the probe path trying to acquire the
lock, and the other thread has acquired the lock and tries to flush the
probe path.

Fix this deadlock by not holding the namespace device_lock over the
wait_nvdimm_bus_probe_idle() synchronization step. In turn this requires
the device_lock to be held on entry to wait_nvdimm_bus_probe_idle() and
subsequently dropped internally to wait_nvdimm_bus_probe_idle().

<title>libnvdimm/bus: Stop holding nvdimm_bus_list_mutex over __nd_ioctl()</title>

In preparation for fixing a deadlock between wait_for_bus_probe_idle()
and the nvdimm_bus_list_mutex arrange for __nd_ioctl() without
nvdimm_bus_list_mutex held. This also unifies the 'dimm' and 'bus' level
ioctls into a common nd_ioctl() preamble implementation.

Marked for -stable as it is a pre-requisite for a follow-on fix.

In preparation for not holding a lock over the execution of nd_ioctl(),
update the implementation to allow multiple threads to be attempting
ioctls at the same time. The bus lock still prevents multiple in-flight
-&gt;ndctl() invocations from corrupting each other's state, but static
global staging buffers are moved to the heap.

Namespace activation expects to be able to reference region badblocks.
The following warning sometimes triggers when asynchronous namespace
activation races in front of the completion of namespace probing. Move
all possible namespace probing after region badblocks initialization.

Otherwise, lockdep sometimes catches the uninitialized state of the
badblocks seqlock with stack trace signatures like:
