In size_show(), the dax_dev_rwsem only needs a read lock, but was
acquiring a write lock. Change it to down_read_interruptible() so it
doesn't unnecessarily hold a write lock.

Commit c05ae9d85b47 ("dax/bus.c: replace driver-core lock usage by a local
rwsem") aimed to undo device_lock() abuses for protecting changes to
dax-driver internal data-structures like the dax_region resource tree to
device-dax-instance range structures. However, the device_lock() was
legitimately enforcing that devices to be deleted were not current
actively attached to any driver nor assigned any capacity from the region.
As a result of the device_lock restoration in delete_store(), the
conditional locking in unregister_dev_dax() and unregister_dax_mapping()
can be removed.

Patch series "dax/bus.c: Fixups for dax-bus locking", v3.
Commit Fixes: c05ae9d85b47 ("dax/bus.c: replace driver-core lock usage by
a local rwsem") introduced a few problems that this series aims to fix.
Add back device_lock() where it was correctly used (during device
manipulation operations), remove conditional locking in
unregister_dax_dev() and unregister_dax_mapping(), use non-interruptible
versions of rwsem locks when not called from a user process, and fix up a
write vs. read usage of an rwsem.
This patch (of 4):
In [1], Dan points out that all of the WARN_ON_ONCE() usage in the
referenced patch should be replaced with lockdep_assert_held, or
lockdep_held_assert_write(). Replace these as appropriate.

and putting memory types
Patch series "Improved Memory Tier Creation for CPUless NUMA Nodes", v11.
When a memory device, such as CXL1.1 type3 memory, is emulated as normal
memory (E820_TYPE_RAM), the memory device is indistinguishable from normal
DRAM in terms of memory tiering with the current implementation. The
current memory tiering assigns all detected normal memory nodes to the
same DRAM tier. This results in normal memory devices with different
attributions being unable to be assigned to the correct memory tier,
leading to the inability to migrate pages between different types of
memory.
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/PH0PR08MB7955E9F08CCB64F23963B5C3A860A@PH0PR08MB7955.namprd08.prod.outlook.com/T/
This patchset automatically resolves the issues. It delays the
initialization of memory tiers for CPUless NUMA nodes until they obtain
HMAT information and after all devices are initialized at boot time,
eliminating the need for user intervention. If no HMAT is specified, it
falls back to using `default_dram_type`.
Example usecase:
We have CXL memory on the host, and we create VMs with a new system memory
device backed by host CXL memory. We inject CXL memory performance
attributes through QEMU, and the guest now sees memory nodes with
performance attributes in HMAT. With this change, we enable the guest
kernel to construct the correct memory tiering for the memory nodes.
This patch (of 2):
Since different memory devices require finding, allocating, and putting
memory types, these common steps are abstracted in this patch, enhancing
the scalability and conciseness of the code.

The mm_struct contains a function pointer *get_unmapped_area(), which is
set to either arch_get_unmapped_area() or arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown()
during the initialization of the mm.
Since the function pointer only ever points to two functions that are
named the same across all arch's, a function pointer is not really
required. In addition future changes will want to add versions of the
functions that take additional arguments. So to save a pointers worth of
bytes in mm_struct, and prevent adding additional function pointers to
mm_struct in future changes, remove it and keep the information about
which get_unmapped_area() to use in a flag.
Add the new flag to MMF_INIT_MASK so it doesn't get clobbered on fork by
mmf_init_flags(). Most MM flags get clobbered on fork. In the
pre-existing behavior mm->get_unmapped_area() would get copied to the new
mm in dup_mm(), so not clobbering the flag preserves the existing behavior
around inheriting the topdown-ness.
Introduce a helper, mm_get_unmapped_area(), to easily convert code that
refers to the old function pointer to instead select and call either
arch_get_unmapped_area() or arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown() based on the
flag. Then drop the mm->get_unmapped_area() function pointer. Leave the
get_unmapped_area() pointer in struct file_operations alone. The main
purpose of this change is to reorganize in preparation for future changes,
but it also converts the calls of mm->get_unmapped_area() from indirect
branches into a direct ones.
The stress-ng bigheap benchmark calls realloc a lot, which calls through
get_unmapped_area() in the kernel. On x86, the change yielded a ~1%
improvement there on a retpoline config.
In testing a few x86 configs, removing the pointer unfortunately didn't
result in any actual size reductions in the compiled layout of mm_struct.
But depending on compiler or arch alignment requirements, the change could
shrink the size of mm_struct.

Since commit aed65af1cc2f ("drivers: make device_type const"), the driver
core can properly handle constant struct device_type. Move the
dax_mapping_type variable to be a constant structure as well, placing it
into read-only memory which can not be modified at runtime.

There's a bunch of flags that are purely based on what the file
operations support while also never being conditionally set or unset.
IOW, they're not subject to change for individual files. Imho, such
flags don't need to live in f_mode they might as well live in the fops
structs itself. And the fops struct already has that lonely
mmap_supported_flags member. We might as well turn that into a generic
fop_flags member and move a few flags from FMODE_* space into FOP_*
space. That gets us four FMODE_* bits back and the ability for new
static flags that are about file ops to not have to live in FMODE_*
space but in their own FOP_* space. It's not the most beautiful thing
ever but it gets the job done. Yes, there'll be an additional pointer
chase but hopefully that won't matter for these flags.
I suspect there's a few more we can move into there and that we can also
redirect a bunch of new flag suggestions that follow this pattern into
the fop_flags field instead of f_mode.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- Sumanth Korikkar has taught s390 to allocate hotplug-time page frames
from hotplugged memory rather than only from main memory. Series
"implement "memmap on memory" feature on s390".
- More folio conversions from Matthew Wilcox in the series
"Convert memcontrol charge moving to use folios"
"mm: convert mm counter to take a folio"
- Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's rbtree locking, providing
significant reductions in system time and modest but measurable
reductions in overall runtimes. The series is "mm/zswap: optimize the
scalability of zswap rb-tree".
- Chengming Zhou has also provided the series "mm/zswap: optimize zswap
lru list" which provides measurable runtime benefits in some
swap-intensive situations.
- And Chengming Zhou further optimizes zswap in the series "mm/zswap:
optimize for dynamic zswap_pools". Measured improvements are modest.
- zswap cleanups and simplifications from Yosry Ahmed in the series
"mm: zswap: simplify zswap_swapoff()".
- In the series "Add DAX ABI for memmap_on_memory", Vishal Verma has
contributed several DAX cleanups as well as adding a sysfs tunable to
control the memmap_on_memory setting when the dax device is
hotplugged as system memory.
- Johannes Weiner has added the large series "mm: zswap: cleanups",
which does that.
- More DAMON work from SeongJae Park in the series
"mm/damon: make DAMON debugfs interface deprecation unignorable"
"selftests/damon: add more tests for core functionalities and corner cases"
"Docs/mm/damon: misc readability improvements"
"mm/damon: let DAMOS feeds and tame/auto-tune itself"
- In the series "mm/mempolicy: weighted interleave mempolicy and sysfs
extension" Rakie Kim has developed a new mempolicy interleaving
policy wherein we allocate memory across nodes in a weighted fashion
rather than uniformly. This is beneficial in heterogeneous memory
environments appearing with CXL.
- Christophe Leroy has contributed some cleanup and consolidation work
against the ARM pagetable dumping code in the series "mm: ptdump:
Refactor CONFIG_DEBUG_WX and check_wx_pages debugfs attribute".
- Luis Chamberlain has added some additional xarray selftesting in the
series "test_xarray: advanced API multi-index tests".
- Muhammad Usama Anjum has reworked the selftest code to make its
human-readable output conform to the TAP ("Test Anything Protocol")
format. Amongst other things, this opens up the use of third-party
tools to parse and process out selftesting results.
- Ryan Roberts has added fork()-time PTE batching of THP ptes in the
series "mm/memory: optimize fork() with PTE-mapped THP". Mainly
targeted at arm64, this significantly speeds up fork() when the
process has a large number of pte-mapped folios.
- David Hildenbrand also gets in on the THP pte batching game in his
series "mm/memory: optimize unmap/zap with PTE-mapped THP". It
implements batching during munmap() and other pte teardown
situations. The microbenchmark improvements are nice.
- And in the series "Transparent Contiguous PTEs for User Mappings"
Ryan Roberts further utilizes arm's pte's contiguous bit ("contpte
mappings"). Kernel build times on arm64 improved nicely. Ryan's
series "Address some contpte nits" provides some followup work.
- In the series "mm/hugetlb: Restore the reservation" Breno Leitao has
fixed an obscure hugetlb race which was causing unnecessary page
faults. He has also added a reproducer under the selftest code.
- In the series "selftests/mm: Output cleanups for the compaction
test", Mark Brown did what the title claims.
- Kinsey Ho has added the series "mm/mglru: code cleanup and
refactoring".
- Even more zswap material from Nhat Pham. The series "fix and extend
zswap kselftests" does as claimed.
- In the series "Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to fix DAX
regression" Mathieu Desnoyers has cleaned up and fixed rather a mess
in our handling of DAX on archiecctures which have virtually aliasing
data caches. The arm architecture is the main beneficiary.
- Lokesh Gidra's series "per-vma locks in userfaultfd" provides
dramatic improvements in worst-case mmap_lock hold times during
certain userfaultfd operations.
- Some page_owner enhancements and maintenance work from Oscar Salvador
in his series
"page_owner: print stacks and their outstanding allocations"
"page_owner: Fixup and cleanup"
- Uladzislau Rezki has contributed some vmalloc scalability
improvements in his series "Mitigate a vmap lock contention". It
realizes a 12x improvement for a certain microbenchmark.
- Some kexec/crash cleanup work from Baoquan He in the series "Split
crash out from kexec and clean up related config items".
- Some zsmalloc maintenance work from Chengming Zhou in the series
"mm/zsmalloc: fix and optimize objects/page migration"
"mm/zsmalloc: some cleanup for get/set_zspage_mapping()"
- Zi Yan has taught the MM to perform compaction on folios larger than
order=0. This a step along the path to implementaton of the merging
of large anonymous folios. The series is named "Enable >0 order folio

Yes, yes, I know the slab people were planning on going slow and letting
every subsystem fight this thing on their own. But let's just rip off
the band-aid and get it over and done with. I don't want to see a
number of unnecessary pull requests just to get rid of a flag that no
longer has any meaning.
This was mainly done with a couple of 'sed' scripts and then some manual
cleanup of the end result.

The SLAB_MEM_SPREAD flag used to be implemented in SLAB, which was
removed as of v6.8-rc1, so it became a dead flag since the commit
16a1d968358a ("mm/slab: remove mm/slab.c and slab_def.h"). And the
series[1] went on to mark it obsolete explicitly to avoid confusion
for users. Here we can just remove all its users, which has no any
functional change.

commit d92576f1167c ("dax: does not work correctly with virtual aliasing caches")
prevents DAX from building on architectures with virtually aliased
dcache with:
depends on !(ARM || MIPS || SPARC)
This check is too broad (e.g. recent ARMv7 don't have virtually aliased
dcaches), and also misses many other architectures with virtually
aliased data cache.
This is a regression introduced in the v4.0 Linux kernel where the
dax mount option is removed for 32-bit ARMv7 boards which have no data
cache aliasing, and therefore should work fine with FS_DAX.
This was turned into the following check in alloc_dax() by a preparatory
change:
if (ops && (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARM) ||
IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_MIPS) ||
IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SPARC)))
return NULL;
Use cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() instead to figure out whether the environment
has aliasing data caches.

Replace the following fs/Kconfig:FS_DAX dependency:
depends on !(ARM || MIPS || SPARC)
By a runtime check within alloc_dax(). This runtime check returns
ERR_PTR(-EOPNOTSUPP) if the @ops parameter is non-NULL (which means
the kernel is using an aliased mapping) on an architecture which
has data cache aliasing.
Change the return value from NULL to PTR_ERR(-EOPNOTSUPP) for

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.

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.

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.

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.

Now, if we suddenly remove a PMEM device(by calling unbind) which
contains FSDAX while programs are still accessing data in this device,
e.g.:
```
$FSSTRESS_PROG -d $SCRATCH_MNT -n 99999 -p 4 &
# $FSX_PROG -N 1000000 -o 8192 -l 500000 $SCRATCH_MNT/t001 &
echo "pfn1.1" > /sys/bus/nd/drivers/nd_pmem/unbind
```
it could come into an unacceptable state:
1. device has gone but mount point still exists, and umount will fail
with "target is busy"
2. programs will hang and cannot be killed
3. may crash with NULL pointer dereference
To fix this, we introduce a MF_MEM_PRE_REMOVE flag to let it know that we
are going to remove the whole device, and make sure all related processes
could be notified so that they could end up gracefully.
This patch is inspired by Dan's "mm, dax, pmem: Introduce
dev_pagemap_failure()"[1]. With the help of dax_holder and
->notify_failure() mechanism, the pmem driver is able to ask filesystem
on it to unmap all files in use, and notify processes who are using
those files.
Call trace:
trigger unbind
-> unbind_store()
-> ... (skip)
-> devres_release_all()
-> kill_dax()
-> dax_holder_notify_failure(dax_dev, 0, U64_MAX, MF_MEM_PRE_REMOVE)
-> xfs_dax_notify_failure()
`-> freeze_super() // freeze (kernel call)
`-> do xfs rmap
` -> mf_dax_kill_procs()
` -> collect_procs_fsdax() // all associated processes
` -> unmap_and_kill()
` -> invalidate_inode_pages2_range() // drop file's cache
`-> thaw_super() // thaw (both kernel & user call)
Introduce MF_MEM_PRE_REMOVE to let filesystem know this is a remove
event. Use the exclusive freeze/thaw[2] to lock the filesystem to prevent
new dax mapping from being created. Do not shutdown filesystem directly
if configuration is not supported, or if failure range includes metadata
area. Make sure all files and processes(not only the current progress)
are handled correctly. Also drop the cache of associated files before
pmem is removed.

Previously, a fixed abstract distance MEMTIER_DEFAULT_DAX_ADISTANCE is
used for slow memory type in kmem driver. This limits the usage of kmem
driver, for example, it cannot be used for HBM (high bandwidth memory).
So, we use the general abstract distance calculation mechanism in kmem
drivers to get more accurate abstract distance on systems with proper
support. The original MEMTIER_DEFAULT_DAX_ADISTANCE is used as fallback
only.
Now, multiple memory types may be managed by kmem. These memory types are
put into the "kmem_memory_types" list and protected by
kmem_memory_type_lock.

`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1].
We should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string interfaces.
`dax_id->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 -> strscpy should
suffice.

Remove the unnecessary encoding of page order into an enum and pass the
page order directly. That lets us get rid of pe_order().
The switch constructs have to be changed to if/else constructs to prevent
GCC from warning on builds with 3-level page tables where PMD_ORDER and
PUD_ORDER have the same value.
If you are looking at this commit because your driver stopped compiling,
look at the previous commit as well and audit your driver to be sure it

When multiple processes mmap() a dax file, then at some point,
a process issues a 'load' and consumes a hwpoison, the process
receives a SIGBUS with si_code = BUS_MCEERR_AR and with si_lsb
set for the poison scope. Soon after, any other process issues
a 'load' to the poisoned page (that is unmapped from the kernel
side by memory_failure), it receives a SIGBUS with
si_code = BUS_ADRERR and without valid si_lsb.
This is confusing to user, and is different from page fault due
to poison in RAM memory, also some helpful information is lost.
Channel dax backend driver's poison detection to the filesystem
such that instead of reporting VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, it could report
VM_FAULT_HWPOISON.
If user level block IO syscalls fail due to poison, the errno will
be converted to EIO to maintain block API consistency.

memory_group_register_static takes maximum number of pages as the argument
while dev_dax_kmem_probe passes total_len (in bytes) as the argument.
IIUC, I don't see any crash/panic impact as such. As,
memory_group_register_static just set the max_pages limit which is used in
auto_movable_zone_for_pfn to determine the zone.
which might cause these condition to behave differently,
This will be true always so jump will happen to kernel_zone

kernel_zone:
return default_kernel_zone_for_pfn(nid, pfn, nr_pages);
Here, In below, zone_intersects compare range will be larger as nr_pages

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->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.

Pull Compute Express Link (CXL) updates from Dan Williams:
"To date Linux has been dependent on platform-firmware to map CXL RAM
regions and handle events / errors from devices. With this update we
can now parse / update the CXL memory layout, and report events /
errors from devices. This is a precursor for the CXL subsystem to
handle the end-to-end "RAS" flow for CXL memory. i.e. the flow that
for DDR-attached-DRAM is handled by the EDAC driver where it maps
system physical address events to a field-replaceable-unit (FRU /
endpoint device). In general, CXL has the potential to standardize
what has historically been a pile of memory-controller-specific error
handling logic.
Another change of note is the default policy for handling RAM-backed
device-dax instances. Previously the default access mode was "device",
mmap(2) a device special file to access memory. The new default is
"kmem" where the address range is assigned to the core-mm via
add_memory_driver_managed(). This saves typical users from wondering
why their platform memory is not visible via free(1) and stuck behind
a device-file. At the same time it allows expert users to deploy
policy to, for example, get dedicated access to high performance
memory, or hide low performance memory from general purpose kernel
allocations. This affects not only CXL, but also systems with
high-bandwidth-memory that platform-firmware tags with the
EFI_MEMORY_SP (special purpose) designation.
Summary:
- CXL RAM region enumeration: instantiate 'struct cxl_region' objects
for platform firmware created memory regions
- CXL RAM region provisioning: complement the existing PMEM region
creation support with RAM region support
- "Soft Reservation" policy change: Online (memory hot-add)
soft-reserved memory (EFI_MEMORY_SP) by default, but still allow
for setting aside such memory for dedicated access via device-dax.
- CXL Events and Interrupts: Takeover CXL event handling from
platform-firmware (ACPI calls this CXL Memory Error Reporting) and
export CXL Events via Linux Trace Events.
- Convey CXL _OSC results to drivers: Similar to PCI, let the CXL
subsystem interrogate the result of CXL _OSC negotiation.
- Emulate CXL DVSEC Range Registers as "decoders": Allow for
first-generation devices that pre-date the definition of the CXL
HDM Decoder Capability to translate the CXL DVSEC Range Registers
into 'struct cxl_decoder' objects.
- Set timestamp: Per spec, set the device timestamp in case of
hotplug, or if platform-firwmare failed to set it.
- General fixups: linux-next build issues, non-urgent fixes for
pre-production hardware, unit test fixes, spelling and debug
message improvements"

"Here is the large set of driver core changes for 6.3-rc1.
There's a lot of changes this development cycle, most of the work
falls into two different categories:
- fw_devlink fixes and updates. This has gone through numerous review
cycles and lots of review and testing by lots of different devices.
Hopefully all should be good now, and Saravana will be keeping a
watch for any potential regression on odd embedded systems.
- driver core changes to work to make struct bus_type able to be
moved into read-only memory (i.e. const) The recent work with Rust
has pointed out a number of areas in the driver core where we are
passing around and working with structures that really do not have
to be dynamic at all, and they should be able to be read-only
making things safer overall. This is the contuation of that work
(started last release with kobject changes) in moving struct
bus_type to be constant. We didn't quite make it for this release,
but the remaining patches will be finished up for the release after
this one, but the groundwork has been laid for this effort.
Other than that we have in here:
- debugfs memory leak fixes in some subsystems
- error path cleanups and fixes for some never-able-to-be-hit
codepaths.
- cacheinfo rework and fixes
- Other tiny fixes, full details are in the shortlog

Pull RCU updates from Paul McKenney:
- Documentation updates
- Miscellaneous fixes, perhaps most notably:
- Throttling callback invocation based on the number of callbacks
that are now ready to invoke instead of on the total number of
callbacks
- Several patches that suppress false-positive boot-time
diagnostics, for example, due to lockdep not yet being
initialized
- Make expedited RCU CPU stall warnings dump stacks of any tasks
that are blocking the stalled grace period. (Normal RCU CPU
stall warnings have done this for many years)
- Lazy-callback fixes to avoid delays during boot, suspend, and
resume. (Note that lazy callbacks must be explicitly enabled, so
this should not (yet) affect production use cases)
- Make kfree_rcu() and friends take advantage of polled grace periods,
thus reducing memory footprint by almost two orders of magnitude,
admittedly on a microbenchmark
This also begins the transition from kfree_rcu(p) to
kfree_rcu_mightsleep(p). This transition was motivated by bugs where
kfree_rcu(p), which can block, was typed instead of the intended
kfree_rcu(p, rh)
- SRCU updates, perhaps most notably fixing a bug that causes SRCU to
fail when booted on a system with a non-zero boot CPU. This
surprising situation actually happens for kdump kernels on the
powerpc architecture
This also adds an srcu_down_read() and srcu_up_read(), which act like
srcu_read_lock() and srcu_read_unlock(), but allow an SRCU read-side
critical section to be handed off from one task to another
- Clean up the now-useless SRCU Kconfig option
There are a few more commits that are not yet acked or pulled into
maintainer trees, and these will be in a pull request for a later
merge window
- RCU-tasks updates, perhaps most notably these fixes:
- A strange interaction between PID-namespace unshare and the
RCU-tasks grace period that results in a low-probability but
very real hang
- A race between an RCU tasks rude grace period on a single-CPU
system and CPU-hotplug addition of the second CPU that can
result in a too-short grace period
- A race between shrinking RCU tasks down to a single callback
list and queuing a new callback to some other CPU, but where
that queuing is delayed for more than an RCU grace period. This
can result in that callback being stranded on the non-boot CPU
- Torture-test updates and fixes
- Torture-test scripting updates and fixes
- Provide additional RCU CPU stall-warning information in kernels built
with CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_CPUTIME=y, and restore the full five-minute
timeout limit for expedited RCU CPU stall warnings

While experimenting with CXL region removal the following corruption of
/proc/iomem appeared.
Before:
f010000000-f04fffffff : CXL Window 0
f010000000-f02fffffff : region4
f010000000-f02fffffff : dax4.0
f010000000-f02fffffff : System RAM (kmem)
After (modprobe -r cxl_test):
f010000000-f02fffffff : **redacted binary garbage**
f010000000-f02fffffff : System RAM (kmem)
...and testing further the same is visible with persistent memory
assigned to kmem:
Before:
480000000-243fffffff : Persistent Memory
480000000-57e1fffff : namespace3.0
580000000-243fffffff : dax3.0
580000000-243fffffff : System RAM (kmem)
After (ndctl disable-region all):
480000000-243fffffff : Persistent Memory
580000000-243fffffff : ***redacted binary garbage***
580000000-243fffffff : System RAM (kmem)
The corrupted data is from a use-after-free of the "dax4.0" and "dax3.0"
resources, and it also shows that the "System RAM (kmem)" resource is
not being removed. The bug does not appear after "modprobe -r kmem", it
requires the parent of "dax4.0" and "dax3.0" to be removed which
re-parents the leaked "System RAM (kmem)" instances. Those in turn
reference the freed resource as a parent.
First up for the fix is release_mem_region_adjustable() needs to
reliably delete the resource inserted by add_memory_driver_managed().
That is thwarted by a check for IORESOURCE_SYSRAM that predates the
dax/kmem driver, from commit:
65c78784135f ("kernel, resource: check for IORESOURCE_SYSRAM in release_mem_region_adjustable")
That appears to be working around the behavior of HMM's
"MEMORY_DEVICE_PUBLIC" facility that has since been deleted. With that
check removed the "System RAM (kmem)" resource gets removed, but
corruption still occurs occasionally because the "dax" resource is not
reliably removed.
The dax range information is freed before the device is unregistered, so
the driver can not reliably recall (another use after free) what it is
meant to release. Lastly if that use after free got lucky, the driver
was covering up the leak of "System RAM (kmem)" due to its use of
release_resource() which detaches, but does not free, child resources.
The switch to remove_resource() forces remove_memory() to be responsible
for the deletion of the resource added by add_memory_driver_managed().

There is already a dependency on CXL_REGION, which depends on CXL_BUS,
but since CXL_REGION is a 'bool' symbol, it's possible to configure
DAX as built-in even though CXL itself is a loadable module:

cxl.c:(.text+0xb): undefined reference to `to_cxl_dax_region'

Prevent this with another depndency on the tristate symbol.

While platform firmware takes some responsibility for mapping the RAM
capacity of CXL devices present at boot, the OS is responsible for
mapping the remainder and hot-added devices. Platform firmware is also
responsible for identifying the platform general purpose memory pool,
typically DDR attached DRAM, and arranging for the remainder to be 'Soft
Reserved'. That reservation allows the CXL subsystem to route the memory
to core-mm via memory-hotplug (dax_kmem), or leave it for dedicated
access (device-dax).
The new 'struct cxl_dax_region' object allows for a CXL memory resource
(region) to be published, but also allow for udev and module policy to
act on that event. It also prevents cxl_core.ko from having a module
loading dependency on any drivers/dax/ modules.

The default mode for device-dax instances is backwards for RAM-regions
as evidenced by the fact that it tends to catch end users by surprise.
"Where is my memory?". Recall that platforms are increasingly shipping
with performance-differentiated memory pools beyond typical DRAM and
NUMA effects. This includes HBM (high-bandwidth-memory) and CXL (dynamic
interleave, varied media types, and future fabric attached
possibilities).
For this reason the EFI_MEMORY_SP (EFI Special Purpose Memory => Linux
'Soft Reserved') attribute is expected to be applied to all memory-pools
that are not the general purpose pool. This designation gives an
Operating System a chance to defer usage of a memory pool until later in
the boot process where its performance properties can be interrogated
and administrator policy can be applied.
'Soft Reserved' memory can be anything from too limited and precious to
be part of the general purpose pool (HBM), too slow to host hot kernel
data structures (some PMEM media), or anything in between. However, in
the absence of an explicit policy, the memory should at least be made
usable by default. The current device-dax default hides all
non-general-purpose memory behind a device interface.
The expectation is that the distribution of users that want the memory
online by default vs device-dedicated-access by default follows the
Pareto principle. A small number of enlightened users may want to do
userspace memory management through a device, but general users just
want the kernel to make the memory available with an option to get more
advanced later.
Arrange for all device-dax instances not backed by PMEM to default to
attaching to the dax_kmem driver. From there the baseline memory hotplug
policy (CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_DEFAULT_ONLINE / memhp_default_state=)
gates whether the memory comes online or stays offline. Where, if it
stays offline, it can be reliably converted back to device-mode where it
can be partitioned, or fronted by a userspace allocator.
So, if someone wants device-dax instances for their 'Soft Reserved'
memory:
1/ Build a kernel with CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_DEFAULT_ONLINE=n or boot
with memhp_default_state=offline, or roll the dice and hope that the
kernel has not pinned a page in that memory before step 2.
2/ Write a udev rule to convert the target dax device(s) from
'system-ram' mode to 'devdax' mode:
daxctl reconfigure-device $dax -m devdax -f

In preparation for the CXL region driver to take over the responsibility
of registering device-dax instances for CXL regions, move the
registration of "hmem" devices to dax_hmem.ko.
Previously the builtin component of this enabling
(drivers/dax/hmem/device.o) would register platform devices for each
address range and trigger the dax_hmem.ko module to load and attach
device-dax instances to those devices. Now, the ranges are collected
from the HMAT and EFI memory map walking, but the device creation is
deferred. A new "hmem_platform" device is created which triggers
dax_hmem.ko to load and register the platform devices.

In preparation for hmem platform devices to be unregistered, stop using
platform_device_add_resources() to convey the address range. The
platform_device_add_resources() API causes an existing "Soft Reserved"
iomem resource to be re-parented under an inserted platform device
resource. When that platform device is deleted it removes the platform
device resource and all children.
Instead, it is sufficient to convey just the address range and let
request_mem_region() insert resources to indicate the devices active in
the range. This allows the "Soft Reserved" resource to be re-enumerated
upon the next probe event.

In preparation for moving more filtering of "hmem" ranges into the
dax_hmem.ko module, update the initcall levels. HMAT range registration
moves to subsys_initcall() to be done before Soft Reservation probing,
and Soft Reservation probing is moved to device_initcall() to be done
before dax_hmem.ko initialization if it is built-in.
