block: Add badblock management for gendisks
NVDIMM devices, which can behave more like DRAM rather than block devices, may develop bad cache lines, or 'poison'. A block device exposed by the pmem driver can then consume poison via a read (or write), and cause a machine check. On platforms without machine check recovery features, this would mean a crash. The block device maintaining a runtime list of all known sectors that have poison can directly avoid this, and also provide a path forward to enable proper handling/recovery for DAX faults on such a device. Use the new badblock management interfaces to add a badblocks list to gendisks. Signed-off-by: Vishal Verma <vishal.l.verma@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>
