mm, devm_memremap_pages: mark devm_memremap_pages() EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL

2019-01-13T09:03:51+00:00

commit 808153e1187fa77ac7d7dad261ff476888dcf398 upstream.

devm_memremap_pages() is a facility that can create struct page entries
for any arbitrary range and give drivers the ability to subvert core
aspects of page management.

Specifically the facility is tightly integrated with the kernel's memory
hotplug functionality.  It injects an altmap argument deep into the
architecture specific vmemmap implementation to allow allocating from
specific reserved pages, and it has Linux specific assumptions about page
structure reference counting relative to get_user_pages() and
get_user_pages_fast().  It was an oversight and a mistake that this was
not marked EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL from the outset.

Again, devm_memremap_pagex() exposes and relies upon core kernel internal
assumptions and will continue to evolve along with 'struct page', memory
hotplug, and support for new memory types / topologies.  Only an in-kernel
GPL-only driver is expected to keep up with this ongoing evolution.  This
interface, and functionality derived from this interface, is not suitable
for kernel-external drivers.

tools/testing/nvdimm: fix nfit_test shutdown crash

2018-03-24T10:00:10+00:00

[ Upstream commit 8b06b884cd98f7ec8b5028680b99fabfb7b3e192 ]

Keep the nfit_test instances alive until after nfit_test_teardown(), as
we may be doing resource lookups until the final un-registrations have
completed. This fixes crashes of the form.

tools/testing/nvdimm: unit test acpi_nfit_ctl()

2016-12-07T01:42:36+00:00

A recent flurry of bug discoveries in the nfit driver's DSM marshalling
routine has highlighted the fact that we do not have unit test coverage
for this routine. Add a self-test of acpi_nfit_ctl() routine before
probing the "nfit_test.0" device. This mocks stimulus to acpi_nfit_ctl()
and if any of the tests fail "nfit_test.0" will be unavailable causing
the rest of the tests to not run / fail.

This unit test will also be a place to land reproductions of quirky BIOS
behavior discovered in the field and ensure the kernel does not regress
against implementations it has seen in practice.

  ipc/sem.c: add cond_resched in exit_sme
  ...

treewide: remove redundant #include

2016-10-11T22:06:33+00:00

Kernel source files need not include  explicitly
because the top Makefile forces to include it with:

  -include $(srctree)/include/linux/kconfig.h

This commit removes explicit includes except the following:

  * arch/s390/include/asm/facilities_src.h
  * tools/testing/radix-tree/linux/kernel.h

These two are used for host programs.

tools/testing/nvdimm: support for sub-dividing a pmem region

2016-10-07T16:20:53+00:00

Update nfit_test to handle multiple sub-allocations within a given pmem
region.  The mock resource now tracks and un-tracks sub-ranges as they
are requested and released (either explicitly or via devm callback).

tools/testing/nvdimm: test get_config_size DSM failures

2016-09-21T16:36:36+00:00

Add an nfit_test specific attribute for gating whether a get_config_size
DSM, or any DSM for that matter, succeeds or fails.  The get_config_size
DSM is initial motivation since that is the first command libnvdimm core
issues to determine the state of the namespace label area.

tools/testing/nvdimm: fix allocation range for mock flush hint tables

2016-09-19T20:49:48+00:00

Commit 480b6837aa57 "nvdimm: fix PHYS_PFN/PFN_PHYS mixup" identified
that we were passing an invalid address to devm_nvdimm_ioremap(). With
that fixed it exposed a bug in the memory reservation size for flush
hint tables.  Since we map a full page we need to mock a full page of
memory to back the flush hint table entries.
