<title>dax: add a sysfs knob to control memmap_on_memory behavior</title>

Add a sysfs knob for dax devices to control the memmap_on_memory setting
if the dax device were to be hotplugged as system memory.

The default memmap_on_memory setting for dax devices originating via pmem
or hmem is set to 'false' - i.e.  no memmap_on_memory semantics, to
preserve legacy behavior.  For dax devices via CXL, the default is on. 
The sysfs control allows the administrator to override the above defaults
if needed.

<title>dax/bus.c: replace several sprintf() with sysfs_emit()</title>

There were several places where drivers/dax/bus.c uses 'sprintf' to print
sysfs data.  Since a sysfs_emit() helper is available specifically for
this purpose, replace all the sprintf() usage for sysfs with sysfs_emit()
in this file.

<title>dax/bus.c: replace driver-core lock usage by a local rwsem</title>

<id>c05ae9d85b47211edb187b854b62ec68fb2a1e93</id>
<content type='text'>
Patch series "Add DAX ABI for memmap_on_memory", v7.

This series adds sysfs ABI to control memmap_on_memory behavior for DAX
devices.

Patch 1 replaces incorrect device_lock() usage with a local rwsem - this
was identified during review.

Patch 2 is also a preparatory patch that replaces sprintf() for sysfs
operations with sysfs_emit()

Patch 3 adds the missing documentation for the sysfs ABI for DAX regions
and Dax devices.

Patch 4 exports mhp_supports_memmap_on_memory().

Patch 5 adds the new ABI for toggling memmap_on_memory semantics for dax
devices.


This patch (of 5):

The dax driver incorrectly used driver-core device locks to protect
internal dax region and dax device configuration structures.  Replace the
device lock usage with a local rwsem, one each for dax region
configuration and dax device configuration.  As a result of this
conversion, no device_lock() usage remains in dax/bus.c.

move the dax_bus_type variable to be a constant structure as well,

Large amounts of memory managed by the kmem driver may come in via CXL,
and it is often desirable to have the memmap for this memory on the new
memory itself.

Enroll kmem-managed memory for memmap_on_memory semantics if the dax
region originates via CXL.  For non-CXL dax regions, retain the existing
default behavior of hot adding without memmap_on_memory semantics.

`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1].

We should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string interfaces.

`dax_id-&gt;dev_name` is expected to be NUL-terminated and has been zero-allocated.

A suitable replacement is `strscpy` [2] due to the fact that it
guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer. Moreover, due to
`dax_id` being zero-allocated the padding behavior of `strncpy` is not
needed and a simple 1:1 replacement of strncpy -&gt; strscpy should
suffice.

Now that free_dev_dax_id() internally manages the references it needs
the extra references taken by the dax_region drivers are not needed.

<title>dax: Introduce alloc_dev_dax_id()</title>

<id>70aab281e18c68a1284bc387de127c2fc0bed3f8</id>
<content type='text'>
The reference counting of dax_region objects is needlessly complicated,
has lead to confusion [1], and has hidden a bug [2]. Towards cleaning up
that mess introduce alloc_dev_dax_id() to minimize the holding of a
dax_region reference to only what dev_dax_release() needs, the
dax_region-&gt;ida.

Part of the reason for the mess was the design to dereference a
dax_region in all cases in free_dev_dax_id() even if the id was
statically assigned by the upper level dax_region driver. Remove the
need to call "is_static(dax_region)" by tracking whether the id is
dynamic directly in the dev_dax instance itself.

With that flag the dax_region pinning and release per dev_dax instance
can move to alloc_dev_dax_id() and free_dev_dax_id() respectively.

A follow-on cleanup address the unnecessary references in the dax_region
setup and drivers.
