libnvdimm, pfn: fix memmap reservation size versus 4K alignment

2017-02-04T22:47:31+00:00

When vmemmap_populate() allocates space for the memmap it does so in 2MB sized chunks. The libnvdimm-pfn driver incorrectly accounts for this when the alignment of the device is set to 4K. When this happens we trigger memory allocation failures in altmap_alloc_block_buf() and trigger warnings of the form: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 3376 at arch/x86/mm/init_64.c:656 arch_add_memory+0xe4/0xf0 [..] Call Trace: dump_stack+0x86/0xc3 __warn+0xcb/0xf0 warn_slowpath_null+0x1d/0x20 arch_add_memory+0xe4/0xf0 devm_memremap_pages+0x29b/0x4e0 Fixes: 315c562536c4 ("libnvdimm, pfn: add 'align' attribute, default to HPAGE_SIZE") Cc: Signed-off-by: Dan Williams

libnvdimm, namespace: do not delete namespace-id 0

2017-02-01T02:18:21+00:00

Given that the naming of pmem devices changes from the pmemX form to the pmemX.Y form when namespace id is greater than 0, arrange for namespaces with id-0 to be exempt from deletion. Otherwise a simple reconfiguration of an existing namespace to a new mode results in a name change of the resulting block device: # ndctl list --namespace=namespace1.0 { "dev":"namespace1.0", "mode":"raw", "size":2147483648, "uuid":"3dadf3dc-89b9-4b24-b20e-abc8a4707ce3", "blockdev":"pmem1" } # ndctl create-namespace --reconfig=namespace1.0 --mode=memory --force { "dev":"namespace1.1", "mode":"memory", "size":2111832064, "uuid":"7b4a6341-7318-4219-a02c-fb57c0bbf613", "blockdev":"pmem1.1" } This change does require tooling changes to explicitly look for namespaceX.0 if the seed has already advanced to another namespace.

nvdimm: constify device_type structures

libnvdimm, namespace: fix pmem namespace leak, delete when size set to zero

2017-01-13T17:50:33+00:00

Commit 98a29c39dc68 ("libnvdimm, namespace: allow creation of multiple pmem-namespaces per region") added support for establishing additional pmem namespace beyond the seed device, similar to blk namespaces. However, it neglected to delete the namespace when the size is set to zero.

pmem: return EIO on read_pmem() failure

2017-01-13T00:40:29+00:00

The read_pmem() function uses memcpy_mcsafe() on x86 where an EFAULT error code indicates a failed read. Block I/O should use EIO to indicate failure. Other pmem code paths (like bad blocks) already use EIO so let's be consistent. This fixes compatibility with consumers like btrfs that try to parse the specific error code rather than treat all errors the same.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams: "The libnvdimm pull request is relatively small this time around due to some development topics being deferred to 4.11. As for this pull request the bulk of it has been in -next for several releases leading to one late fix being added (commit 868f036fee4b ("libnvdimm: fix mishandled nvdimm_clear_poison() return value")). It has received a build success notification from the 0day-kbuild robot and passes the latest libnvdimm unit tests. Summary: - Dynamic label support: To date namespace label support has been limited to disambiguating cases where PMEM (direct load/store) and BLK (mmio aperture) accessed-capacity alias on the same DIMM. Since 4.9 added support for multiple namespaces per PMEM-region there is value to support namespace labels even in the non-aliasing case. The presence of a valid namespace index block force-enables label support when the kernel would otherwise rely on region boundaries, and permits the region to be sub-divided. - Handle media errors in namespace metadata: Complement the error handling for media errors in namespace data areas with support for clearing errors on writes, and downgrading potential machine-check exceptions to simple i/o errors on read. - Device-DAX region attributes: Add 'align', 'id', and 'size' as attributes for device-dax regions. In particular this enables userspace tooling to generically size memory mapping and i/o operations. Prevent userspace from growing assumptions / dependencies about the parent device topology for a dax region. A libnvdimm namespace may not always be the parent device of a dax region. - Various cleanups and small fixes" * tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: dax: add region 'id', 'size', and 'align' attributes libnvdimm: fix mishandled nvdimm_clear_poison() return value libnvdimm: replace mutex_is_locked() warnings with lockdep_assert_held libnvdimm, pfn: fix align attribute libnvdimm, e820: use module_platform_driver libnvdimm, namespace: use octal for permissions libnvdimm, namespace: avoid multiple sector calculations libnvdimm: remove else after return in nsio_rw_bytes() libnvdimm, namespace: fix the type of name variable libnvdimm: use consistent naming for request_mem_region() nvdimm: use the right length of "pmem" libnvdimm: check and clear poison before writing to pmem tools/testing/nvdimm: dynamic label support libnvdimm: allow a platform to force enable label support libnvdimm: use generic iostat interfaces

libnvdimm: fix mishandled nvdimm_clear_poison() return value

2016-12-16T16:10:31+00:00

Colin, via static analysis, reports that the length could be negative from nvdimm_clear_poison() in the error case. There was a similar problem with commit 0a3f27b9a6a8 "libnvdimm, namespace: avoid multiple sector calculations" that I noticed when merging the for-4.10/libnvdimm topic branch into libnvdimm-for-next, but I missed this one. Fix both of them to the following procedure: * if we clear a block's worth of media, clear that many blocks in badblocks * if we clear less than the requested size of the transfer return an error * always invalidate cache after any non-error / non-zero nvdimm_clear_poison result Fixes: 82bf1037f2ca ("libnvdimm: check and clear poison before writing to pmem") Fixes: 0a3f27b9a6a8 ("libnvdimm, namespace: avoid multiple sector calculations") Cc: Fabian Frederick Cc: Dave Jiang Reported-by: Colin Ian King Signed-off-by: Dan Williams
