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.

2018-03-15libnvdimm, label: change min label storage size per UEFI 2.7Toshi Kani
UEFI 2.7 defines in page 758 that: Initial Label Storage Area Configuration : The minimum size of the Label Storage Area is large enough to hold 2 index blocks and 2 labels. The mininum index block size is 256 bytes, and the minimum label size is also 256 bytes. Change ND_LABEL_MIN_SIZE to (256 * 4) so that NVDIMM devices with the minimum label storage area do not fail with the size check in nvdimm_init_config_data().

2017-06-29libnvdimm, btt: BTT updates for UEFI 2.7 formatVishal Verma
The UEFI 2.7 specification defines an updated BTT metadata format, bumping the revision to 2.0. Add support for the new format, while retaining compatibility for the old 1.1 format.

2017-06-15libnvdimm, label: add address abstraction identifiersDan Williams
Starting with v1.2 labels, 'address abstractions' can be hinted via an address abstraction id that implies an info-block format. The standard address abstraction in the specification is the v2 format of the Block-Translation-Table (BTT). Support for that is saved for a later patch, for now we add support for the Linux supported address abstractions BTT (v1), PFN, and DAX. The new 'holder_class' attribute for namespace devices is added for tooling to specify the 'abstraction_guid' to store in the namespace label. For v1.1 labels this field is undefined and any setting of 'holder_class' away from the default 'none' value will only have effect until the driver is unloaded. Setting 'holder_class' requires that whatever device tries to claim the namespace must be of the specified class.

2017-06-15libnvdimm, label: add v1.2 nvdimm label definitionsDan Williams
In support of improved interoperability between operating systems and pre-boot environments the Intel proposed NVDIMM Namespace Specification [1], has been adopted and modified to the the UEFI 2.7 NVDIMM Label Protocol [2]. Update the definitions of the namespace label data structures so that the new format can be supported alongside the existing label format. The new specification changes the default label size to 256 bytes, so everywhere that relied on sizeof(struct nd_namespace_label) must now use the sizeof_namespace_label() helper. There should be no functional differences from these changes as the default is still the v1.1 128-byte format. Future patches will move the default to the v1.2 definition.

2015-06-24libnvdimm: write blk label setDan Williams
After 'uuid', 'size', 'sector_size', and optionally 'alt_name' have been set to valid values the labels on the dimm can be updated. The difference with the pmem case is that blk namespaces are limited to one dimm and can cover discontiguous ranges in dpa space. Also, after allocating label slots, it is useful for userspace to know how many slots are left. Export this information in sysfs.

2015-06-24libnvdimm: write pmem label setDan Williams
After 'uuid', 'size', and optionally 'alt_name' have been set to valid values the labels on the dimms can be updated. Write procedure is: 1/ Allocate and write new labels in the "next" index 2/ Free the old labels in the working copy 3/ Write the bitmap and the label space on the dimm 4/ Write the index to make the update valid Label ranges directly mirror the dpa resource values for the given label_id of the namespace.

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.

2015-06-24libnvdimm: namespace indices: read and validateDan Williams
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.
