2019-11-07dax: Fix alloc_dax_region() compile warningDan Williams
PFN flags are (unsigned long long), fix the alloc_dax_region() calling convention to fix warnings of the form: >> include/linux/pfn_t.h:18:17: warning: large integer implicitly truncated to unsigned type [-Woverflow] #define PFN_DEV (1ULL << (BITS_PER_LONG_LONG - 3)) Reported-by: kbuild test robot <lkp@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Acked-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2019-01-06acpi/nfit, device-dax: Identify differentiated memory with a unique numa-nodeDan Williams
Persistent memory, as described by the ACPI NFIT (NVDIMM Firmware Interface Table), is the first known instance of a memory range described by a unique "target" proximity domain. Where "initiator" and "target" proximity domains is an approach that the ACPI HMAT (Heterogeneous Memory Attributes Table) uses to described the unique performance properties of a memory range relative to a given initiator (e.g. CPU or DMA device). Currently the numa-node for a /dev/pmemX block-device or /dev/daxX.Y char-device follows the traditional notion of 'numa-node' where the attribute conveys the closest online numa-node. That numa-node attribute is useful for cpu-binding and memory-binding processes *near* the device. However, when the memory range backing a 'pmem', or 'dax' device is onlined (memory hot-add) the memory-only-numa-node representing that address needs to be differentiated from the set of online nodes. In other words, the numa-node association of the device depends on whether you can bind processes *near* the cpu-numa-node in the offline device-case, or bind process *on* the memory-range directly after the backing address range is onlined. Allow for the case that platform firmware describes persistent memory with a unique proximity domain, i.e. when it is distinct from the proximity of DRAM and CPUs that are on the same socket. Plumb the Linux numa-node translation of that proximity through the libnvdimm region device to namespaces that are in device-dax mode. With this in place the proposed kmem driver [1] can optionally discover a unique numa-node number for the address range as it transitions the memory from an offline state managed by a device-driver to an online memory range managed by the core-mm.

2019-01-06device-dax: Add /sys/class/dax backwards compatibilityDan Williams
On the expectation that some environments may not upgrade libdaxctl (userspace component that depends on the /sys/class/dax hierarchy), provide a default / legacy dax_pmem_compat driver. The dax_pmem_compat driver implements the original /sys/class/dax sysfs layout rather than /sys/bus/dax. When userspace is upgraded it can blacklist this module and switch to the dax_pmem driver going forward. CONFIG_DEV_DAX_PMEM_COMPAT and supporting code will be deleted according to the dax_pmem entry in Documentation/ABI/obsolete/. Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>
2019-01-06device-dax: Add support for a dax override driverDan Williams
Introduce the 'new_id' concept for enabling a custom device-driver attach policy for dax-bus drivers. The intended use is to have a mechanism for hot-plugging device-dax ranges into the page allocator on-demand. With this in place the default policy of using device-dax for performance differentiated memory can be overridden by user-space policy that can arrange for the memory range to be managed as 'System RAM' with user-defined NUMA and other performance attributes.

2019-01-06device-dax: Move resource pinning+mapping into the common driverDan Williams
Move the responsibility of calling devm_request_resource() and devm_memremap_pages() into the common device-dax driver. This is another preparatory step to allowing an alternate personality driver for a device-dax range. Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>
2019-01-06device-dax: Introduce bus + driver modelDan Williams
In support of multiple device-dax instances per device-dax-region and allowing the 'kmem' driver to attach to dax-instances instead of the current device-node access, convert the dax sub-system from a class to a bus. Recall that the kmem driver takes reserved / special purpose memories and assigns them to be managed by the core-mm. Aside from the fact the device-dax instances are registered and probed on a bus, two other lifetime-management changes are made: 1/ Delay attaching a cdev until driver probe time 2/ A new run_dax() helper is introduced to allow restoring dax-operation after a kill_dax() event. So, at driver ->probe() time we run_dax() and at ->remove() time we kill_dax() and invalidate all mappings. Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>
2019-01-06device-dax: Start defining a dax bus modelDan Williams
Towards eliminating the dax_class, move the dax-device-attribute enabling to a new bus.c file in the core. The amount of code thrash of sub-sequent patches is reduced as no logic changes are made, just pure code movement. A temporary export of unregister_dex_dax() and dax_attribute_groups is needed to preserve compilation, but those symbols become static again in a follow-on patch.
