2018-10-12nvdimm: Use namespace index data to reduce number of label reads neededAlexander Duyck
This patch adds logic that is meant to make use of the namespace index data to reduce the number of reads that are needed to initialize a given namespace. The general idea is that once we have enough data to validate the namespace index we do so and then proceed to fetch only those labels that are not listed as being "free". By doing this I am seeing a total time reduction from about 4-5 seconds to 2-3 seconds for 24 NVDIMM modules each with 128K of label config area.

2018-10-12nvdimm: Split label init out from the logic for getting config dataAlexander Duyck
This patch splits the initialization of the label data into two functions. One for doing the init, and another for reading the actual configuration data. The idea behind this is that by doing this we create a symmetry between the getting and setting of config data in that we have a function for both. In addition it will make it easier for us to identify the bits that are related to init versus the pieces that are a wrapper for reading data from the ACPI interface. So for example by splitting things out like this it becomes much more obvious that we were performing checks that weren't necessarily related to the set/get operations such as relying on ndd->data being present when the set and get ops should not care about a locally cached copy of the label area.

2018-07-14libnvdimm: Introduce locked DIMM capacity supportDan Williams
When a DIMM is locked its namespace label area may not be. Introduce the distinction of locked namespaces to allow namespace enumeration while the capacity is locked. Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>
2018-04-06libnvdimm, dimm: fix dpa reservation vs uninitialized label areaDan Williams
At initialization time the 'dimm' driver caches a copy of the memory device's label area and reserves address space for each of the namespaces defined. However, as can be seen below, the reservation occurs even when the index blocks are invalid: nvdimm nmem0: nvdimm_init_config_data: len: 131072 rc: 0 nvdimm nmem0: config data size: 131072 nvdimm nmem0: __nd_label_validate: nsindex0 labelsize 1 invalid nvdimm nmem0: __nd_label_validate: nsindex1 labelsize 1 invalid nvdimm nmem0: : pmem-6025e505: 0x1000000000 @ 0xf50000000 reserve <-- bad Gate dpa reservation on the presence of valid index blocks.

2017-10-07acpi, nfit: add support for the _LSI, _LSR, and _LSW label methodsDan Williams
ACPI 6.2 adds support for named methods to access the label storage area of an NVDIMM. We prefer these new methods if available and otherwise fallback to the NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL _DSMs. The kernel ioctls, ND_IOCTL_{GET,SET}_CONFIG_{SIZE,DATA}, remain generic and the driver translates the 'package' payloads into the NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL 'buffer' format to maintain compatibility with existing userspace and keep the output buffer parsing code in the driver common. The output payloads are mostly compatible save for the 'label area locked' status that moves from the 'config_size' (_LSI) command to the 'config_read' (_LSR) command status.

2017-09-28libnvdimm, dimm: clear 'locked' status on successful DIMM enableDan Williams
If we successfully enable a DIMM then it must not be locked and we can clear the label-read failure condition. Otherwise, we need to reload the entire bus provider driver to achieve the same effect, and that can disrupt unrelated DIMMs and namespaces.

2017-05-04libnvdimm: handle locked label storage areasDan Williams
Per the latest version of the "NVDIMM DSM Interface Example" [1], the label data retrieval routine can report a "locked" status. In this case all regions associated with that DIMM are disabled until the label area is unlocked. Provide generic libnvdimm enabling for NVDIMMs with label data area locking capabilities.

2016-10-19libnvdimm: allow a platform to force enable label supportDan Williams
Platforms like QEMU-KVM implement an NFIT table and label DSMs. However, since that environment does not define an aliased configuration, the labels are currently ignored and the kernel registers a single full-sized pmem-namespace per region. Now that the kernel supports sub-divisions of pmem regions the labels have a purpose. Arrange for the labels to be honored when we find an existing / valid namespace index block.

2016-09-01libnvdimm: Fix nvdimm_probe error on NVDIMM-NToshi Kani
'ndctl list --buses --dimms' does not list any NVDIMM-Ns since they are considered as idle. ndctl checks if any driver is attached to nmem device. nvdimm_probe() always fails in nvdimm_init_nsarea() since NVDIMM-Ns do not implement optinal ND_CMD_GET_CONFIG_DATA command. Change nvdimm_probe() to accept the case that the CONFIG_DATA command is not implemented for NVDIMM-Ns. The driver attaches without ndd, which keeps it no-op to the device.

2015-06-24libnvdimm: pmem label sets and namespace instantiation.Dan Williams
A complete label set is a PMEM-label per-dimm per-interleave-set where all the UUIDs match and the interleave set cookie matches the hosting interleave set. Present sysfs attributes for manipulation of a PMEM-namespace's 'alt_name', 'uuid', and 'size' attributes. A later patch will make these settings persistent by writing back the label. Note that PMEM allocations grow forwards from the start of an interleave set (lowest dimm-physical-address (DPA)). BLK-namespaces that alias with a PMEM interleave set will grow allocations backward from the highest DPA.

This on media label format [1] consists of two index blocks followed by an array of labels. None of these structures are ever updated in place. A sequence number tracks the current active index and the next one to write, while labels are written to free slots. +------------+ | | | nsindex0 | | | +------------+ | | | nsindex1 | | | +------------+ | label0 | +------------+ | label1 | +------------+ | | ....nslot... | | +------------+ | labelN | +------------+ After reading valid labels, store the dpa ranges they claim into per-dimm resource trees.

2015-06-24libnvdimm: support for legacy (non-aliasing) nvdimmsDan Williams
The libnvdimm region driver is an intermediary driver that translates non-volatile "region"s into "namespace" sub-devices that are surfaced by persistent memory block-device drivers (PMEM and BLK). ACPI 6 introduces the concept that a given nvdimm may simultaneously offer multiple access modes to its media through direct PMEM load/store access, or windowed BLK mode. Existing nvdimms mostly implement a PMEM interface, some offer a BLK-like mode, but never both as ACPI 6 defines. If an nvdimm is single interfaced, then there is no need for dimm metadata labels. For these devices we can take the region boundaries directly to create a child namespace device (nd_namespace_io).

2015-06-24libnvdimm, nvdimm: dimm driver and base libnvdimm device-driver infrastructureDan Williams
* Implement the device-model infrastructure for loading modules and attaching drivers to nvdimm devices. This is a simple association of a nd-device-type number with a driver that has a bitmask of supported device types. To facilitate userspace bind/unbind operations 'modalias' and 'devtype', that also appear in the uevent, are added as generic sysfs attributes for all nvdimm devices. The reason for the device-type number is to support sub-types within a given parent devtype, be it a vendor-specific sub-type or otherwise. * The first consumer of this infrastructure is the driver for dimm devices. It simply uses control messages to retrieve and store the configuration-data image (label set) from each dimm. Note: nd_device_register() arranges for asynchronous registration of nvdimm bus devices by default.
