As of commit 8c0637e950d6 ("keys: Make the KEY_NEED_* perms an enum rather
than a mask") lookup_user_key() needs an explicit declaration of what it
wants to do with the key. Add KEY_NEED_SEARCH to fix a warning with the
below signature, and fixes the inability to retrieve a key.

It is possible that a platform that is capable of 'namespace labels'
comes up without the labels properly initialized. In this case, the
region's 'align' attribute is hidden. Howerver, once the user does
initialize he labels, the 'align' attribute still stays hidden, which is
unexpected.
The sysfs_update_group() API is meant to address this, and could be
called during region probe, but it has entanglements with the device
'lockdep_mutex'. Therefore, simply make the 'align' attribute always
visible. It doesn't matter what it says for label-less namespaces, since
it is not possible to change their allocation anyway.

Pull libnvdimm and dax updates from Dan Williams:
"There were multiple touches outside of drivers/nvdimm/ this round to
add cross arch compatibility to the devm_memremap_pages() interface,
enhance numa information for persistent memory ranges, and add a
zero_page_range() dax operation.
This cycle I switched from the patchwork api to Konstantin's b4 script
for collecting tags (from x86, PowerPC, filesystem, and device-mapper
folks), and everything looks to have gone ok there. This has all
appeared in -next with no reported issues.
Summary:
- Add support for region alignment configuration and enforcement to
fix compatibility across architectures and PowerPC page size
configurations.
- Introduce 'zero_page_range' as a dax operation. This facilitates
filesystem-dax operation without a block-device.
- Introduce phys_to_target_node() to facilitate drivers that want to
know resulting numa node if a given reserved address range was
onlined.
- Advertise a persistence-domain for of_pmem and papr_scm. The
persistence domain indicates where cpu-store cycles need to reach
in the platform-memory subsystem before the platform will consider
them power-fail protected.
- Promote numa_map_to_online_node() to a cross-kernel generic
facility.
- Save x86 numa information to allow for node-id lookups for reserved
memory ranges, deploy that capability for the e820-pmem driver.
- Pick up some miscellaneous minor fixes, that missed v5.6-final,
including a some smatch reports in the ioctl path and some unit
test compilation fixups.
- Fixup some flexible-array declarations"

zero_page_range() dax operation is mandatory for dax devices. Right now
that check happens in dax_zero_page_range() function. Dan thinks that's
too late and its better to do the check earlier in alloc_dax().
I also modified alloc_dax() to return pointer with error code in it in
case of failure. Right now it returns NULL and caller assumes failure
happened due to -ENOMEM. But with this ->zero_page_range() check, I
need to return -EINVAL instead.

Add a dax operation zero_page_range, to zero a page. This will also clear any
known poison in the page being zeroed.
As of now, zeroing of one page is allowed in a single call. There
are no callers which are trying to zero more than a page in a single call.
Once we grow the callers which zero more than a page in single call, we
can add that support. Primary reason for not doing that yet is that this
will add little complexity in dm implementation where a range might be
spanning multiple underlying targets and one will have to split the range
into multiple sub ranges and call zero_page_range() on individual targets.

Currently, kernel shows the below values
"persistence_domain":"cpu_cache"
"persistence_domain":"memory_controller"
"persistence_domain":"unknown"
"cpu_cache" indicates no extra instructions is needed to ensure the persistence
of data in the pmem media on power failure.
"memory_controller" indicates cpu cache flush instructions are required to flush
the data. Platform provides mechanisms to automatically flush outstanding
write data from memory controler to pmem on system power loss.
Based on the above use memory_controller for non volatile regions on ppc64.

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]

Current make_request based drivers use either blk_alloc_queue_node or
blk_alloc_queue to allocate a queue, and then set up the make_request_fn
function pointer and a few parameters using the blk_queue_make_request
helper. Simplify this by passing the make_request pointer to
blk_alloc_queue, and while at it merge the _node variant into the main
helper by always passing a node_id, and remove the superfluous gfp_mask
parameter. A lower-level __blk_alloc_queue is kept for the blk-mq case.

The align attribute applies an alignment constraint for namespace
creation in a region. Whereas the 'align' attribute of a namespace
applied alignment padding via an info block, the 'align' attribute
applies alignment constraints to the free space allocation.
The default for 'align' is the maximum known memremap_compat_align()
across all archs (16MiB from PowerPC at time of writing) multiplied by
the number of interleave ways if there is blk-aliasing. The minimum is
PAGE_SIZE and allows for the creation of cross-arch incompatible
namespaces, just as previous kernels allowed, but the expectation is
cross-arch and mode-independent compatibility by default.
The regression risk with this change is limited to cases that were
dependent on the ability to create unaligned namespaces, *and* for some
reason are unable to opt-out of aligned namespaces by writing to
'regionX/align'. If such a scenario arises the default can be flipped
from opt-out to opt-in of compat-aligned namespace creation, but that is
a last resort. The kernel will otherwise continue to support existing
defined misaligned namespaces.
Unfortunately this change needs to touch several parts of the
implementation at once:
- region/available_size: expand busy extents to current align
- region/max_available_extent: expand busy extents to current align
- namespace/size: trim free space to current align
...to keep the free space accounting conforming to the dynamic align
setting.

The NDD_ALIASING flag is used to indicate where pmem capacity might
alias with blk capacity and require labeling. It is also used to
indicate whether the DIMM supports labeling. Separate this latter
capability into its own flag so that the NDD_ALIASING flag is scoped to
true aliased configurations.
To my knowledge aliased configurations only exist in the ACPI spec,
there are no known platforms that ship this support in production.
This clarity allows namespace-capacity alignment constraints around
interleave-ways to be relaxed.

The EOPNOTSUPP return code from the pmem driver indicates that the
namespace has a configuration that may be valid, but the current kernel
does not support it. Expand this to all of the nd_pfn_validate() error
conditions after the infoblock has been verified as self consistent.
This prevents exposing the namespace to I/O when the infoblock needs to
be corrected, or the system needs to be put into a different
configuration (like changing the page size on PowerPC).

The "sub-section memory hotplug" facility allows memremap_pages() users
like libnvdimm to compensate for hardware platforms like x86 that have a
section size larger than their hardware memory mapping granularity. The
compensation that sub-section support affords is being tolerant of
physical memory resources shifting by units smaller (64MiB on x86) than
the memory-hotplug section size (128 MiB). Where the platform
physical-memory mapping granularity is limited by the number and
capability of address-decode-registers in the memory controller.
While the sub-section support allows memremap_pages() to operate on
sub-section (2MiB) granularity, the Power architecture may still
require 16MiB alignment on "!radix_enabled()" platforms.
In order for libnvdimm to be able to detect and manage this per-arch
limitation, introduce memremap_compat_align() as a common minimum
alignment across all driver-facing memory-mapping interfaces, and let
Power override it to 16MiB in the "!radix_enabled()" case.
The assumption / requirement for 16MiB to be a viable
memremap_compat_align() value is that Power does not have platforms
where its equivalent of address-decode-registers never hardware remaps a
persistent memory resource on smaller than 16MiB boundaries. Note that I
tried my best to not add a new Kconfig symbol, but header include
entanglements defeated the #ifndef memremap_compat_align design pattern
and the need to export it defeats the __weak design pattern for arch
overrides.
Based on an initial patch by Aneesh.

After the removal of the device-public infrastructure there are only 2
->page_free() call backs in the kernel. One of those is a
device-private callback in the nouveau driver, the other is a generic
wakeup needed in the DAX case. In the hopes that all ->page_free()
callbacks can be migrated to common core kernel functionality, move the
device-private specific actions in __put_devmap_managed_page() under the
is_device_private_page() conditional, including the ->page_free()
callback. For the other page types just open-code the generic wakeup.
Yes, the wakeup is only needed in the MEMORY_DEVICE_FSDAX case, but it
does no harm in the MEMORY_DEVICE_DEVDAX and MEMORY_DEVICE_PCI_P2PDMA
case.

Aneesh points out that some platforms may have "local" attached
persistent memory and "remote" persistent memory that map to the same
"online" node, or persistent memory devices with different performance
properties. In this case 'numa_node' is identical for the two instances,
but 'target_node' is differentiated so platform firmware can communicate
distinct performance properties per range. Expose 'target_node' by
default to allow for disambiguation of devices that share the same
numa_map_to_online_node() result.

The nvdimm core currently maps the full namespace to an ioremap range
while probing the namespace mode. This can result in probe failures on
architectures that have limited ioremap space.
For example, with a large btt namespace that consumes most of I/O remap
range, depending on the sequence of namespace initialization, the user
can find a pfn namespace initialization failure due to unavailable I/O
remap space which nvdimm core uses for temporary mapping.
nvdimm core can avoid this failure by only mapping the reserved info
block area to check for pfn superblock type and map the full namespace
resource only before using the namespace.
Given that personalities like BTT can be layered on top of any namespace
type create a generic form of devm_nsio_enable (devm_namespace_enable)
and use it inside the per-personality attach routines. Now
devm_namespace_enable() is always paired with disable unless the mapping
is going to be used for long term runtime access.

nvdimm core use nd_pfn_validate when looking for devdax or fsdax namespace. In this
case device resources are allocated against nd_namespace_io dev. In-order to
allow remap of range in nd_pfn_clear_memmap_error(), move the device memmap
area clearing while initializing pfn namespace. With this device
resource are allocated against nd_pfn and we can use nd_pfn->dev for remapping.
This also avoids calling nd_pfn_clear_mmap_errors twice. Once while probing the
namespace and second while initializing a pfn namespace.

The .ioctl and .compat_ioctl file operations have the same prototype so
they can both point to the same function, which works great almost all
the time when all the commands are compatible.
One exception is the s390 architecture, where a compat pointer is only
31 bit wide, and converting it into a 64-bit pointer requires calling
compat_ptr(). Most drivers here will never run in s390, but since we now
have a generic helper for it, it's easy enough to use it consistently.
I double-checked all these drivers to ensure that all ioctl arguments
are used as pointers or are ignored, but are not interpreted as integer
values.

Some environments want to use a host tmpfs/ramdisk to back guest pmem.
While the data is not persisted relative to the host it *is* persisted
relative to guest crashes / reboots. The guest is free to use dax and
MAP_SYNC to keep filesystem metadata consistent with dax accesses
without requiring guest fsync(). The guest can also observe that the
region is volatile and skip cache flushing as global visibility is
enough to "persist" data relative to the host staying alive over guest
reset events.
