[RFC PATCH 0/8] dax: Add a dax-rmap tree to support reflink
by Shiyang Ruan
This patchset is a try to resolve the shared 'page cache' problem for
fsdax.
In order to track multiple mappings and indexes on one page, I
introduced a dax-rmap rb-tree to manage the relationship. A dax entry
will be associated more than once if is shared. At the second time we
associate this entry, we create this rb-tree and store its root in
page->private(not used in fsdax). Insert (->mapping, ->index) when
dax_associate_entry() and delete it when dax_disassociate_entry().
We can iterate the dax-rmap rb-tree before any other operations on
mappings of files. Such as memory-failure and rmap.
Same as before, I borrowed and made some changes on Goldwyn's patchsets.
These patches makes up for the lack of CoW mechanism in fsdax.
The rests are dax & reflink support for xfs.
(Rebased to 5.7-rc2)
Shiyang Ruan (8):
fs/dax: Introduce dax-rmap btree for reflink
mm: add dax-rmap for memory-failure and rmap
fs/dax: Introduce dax_copy_edges() for COW
fs/dax: copy data before write
fs/dax: replace mmap entry in case of CoW
fs/dax: dedup file range to use a compare function
fs/xfs: handle CoW for fsdax write() path
fs/xfs: support dedupe for fsdax

ambiguity with 'PMEM' and 'NVDIMM'. [ Dan Williams ]
* Replaced the usage of term 'SCM' with 'PMEM' in most contexts.
[ Aneesh ]

This patch-set proposes changes to libndctl to add support for reporting
health for nvdimms that support the PAPR standard[2]. The standard defines
machenism (HCALL) through which a guest kernel can query and fetch health
and performance stats of an nvdimm attached to the hypervisor[3]. Until
now 'ndctl' was unable to report these stats for papr_scm dimms on PPC64
guests due to absence of ACPI/NFIT, a limitation which this patch-set tries
to address.
The patch-set introduces support for the new PAPR PDSM family
defined at [4] & [5] via a new dimm-ops named
'papr_dimm_ops'. Infrastructure to probe and distinguish papr-scm
dimms from other dimm families that may support ACPI/NFIT is
implemented by updating the 'struct ndctl_dimm' initialization
routines to bifurcate based on the nvdimm type. We also introduce two
new dimm-ops member for handling initialization of dimm specific data
for specific DSM families.
These changes coupled with proposed kernel changes located at Ref[1] should
provide a way for the user to retrieve NVDIMM health status using ndtcl for
pseries guests. Below is a sample output using proposed kernel + ndctl
changes:
# ndctl list -DH
[
{
"dev":"nmem0",
"flag_smart_event":true,
"health":{
"health_state":"fatal",
"shutdown_state":"dirty"
}
}
]
Structure of the patchset
=========================
We start with a re-factoring patch that splits the 'add_dimm()' function
into two functions one that take care of allocating and initializing
'struct ndctl_dimm' and another that takes care of initializing nfit
specific dimm attributes.
Patch-2 introduces probe function of papr nvdimms and assigning
'papr_dimm_ops' defined in 'papr.c' to 'dimm->ops' if
needed. The patch also code to parse the dimm flags specific to
papr nvdimms
Patch-3 introduces new dimm ops 'dimm_init()' & 'dimm_uninit()' to handle
DSM family specific initialization of 'struct ndctl_dimm'.
Patches-4,5 implements scaffolding to add support for PAPR PDSM
requests and pull in their definitions from the kernel.
Finally Patch-6 add support for issuing and handling the result of
'struct ndctl_cmd' to request dimm health stats from papr_scm kernel module
and returning appropriate health status to libndctl for reporting.

The PAPR standard[2][4] provides mechanisms to query the health and
performance stats of an NVDIMM via various hcalls as described in
Ref[3]. Until now these stats were never available nor exposed to the
user-space tools like 'ndctl'. This is partly due to PAPR platform not
having support for ACPI and NFIT. Hence 'ndctl' is unable to query and
report the dimm health status and a user had no way to determine the
current health status of a NDVIMM.
To overcome this limitation, this patch-set updates papr_scm kernel
module to query and fetch NVDIMM health stats using hcalls described
in Ref[3]. This health and performance stats are then exposed to
userspace via sysfs and PAPR-NVDIMM-Specific-Methods(PDSM) issued by
libndctl.
These changes coupled with proposed ndtcl changes located at Ref[5]
should provide a way for the user to retrieve NVDIMM health status
using ndtcl.
Below is a sample output using proposed kernel + ndctl for PAPR NVDIMM
in a emulation environment:
# ndctl list -DH
[
{
"dev":"nmem0",
"health":{
"health_state":"fatal",
"shutdown_state":"dirty"
}
}
]
Dimm health report output on a pseries guest lpar with vPMEM or HMS
based NVDIMMs that are in perfectly healthy conditions:
# ndctl list -d nmem0 -H
[
{
"dev":"nmem0",
"health":{
"health_state":"ok",
"shutdown_state":"clean"
}
}
]
PAPR NVDIMM-Specific-Methods(PDSM)
==================================
PDSM requests are issued by vendor specific code in libndctl to
execute certain operations or fetch information from NVDIMMS. PDSMs
requests can be sent to papr_scm module via libndctl(userspace) and
libnvdimm (kernel) using the ND_CMD_CALL ioctl command which can be
handled in the dimm control function papr_scm_ndctl(). Current
patchset proposes a single PDSM to retrieve NVDIMM health, defined in
the newly introduced uapi header named 'papr_scm_pdsm.h'. Support for
more PDSMs will be added in future.
Structure of the patch-set
==========================
The patch-set starts with a doc patch documenting details of hcall
H_SCM_HEALTH. Second patch exports kernel symbol seq_buf_printf()
thats used in subsequent patches to generate sysfs attribute content.
Third patch implements support for fetching NVDIMM health information
from PHYP and partially exposing it to user-space via a NVDIMM sysfs
flag.
Fourth patches deal with implementing support for servicing PDSM
commands in papr_scm module.
Finally the last patch implements support for servicing PDSM
'PAPR_SCM_PDSM_HEALTH' that returns the NVDIMM health information to
libndctl.

[5.4-stable PATCH 0/7] libnvdimm: Cross-arch compatible namespace
alignment
by Dan Williams
Hello stable team,
These patches have been shipping in mainline since v5.7-rc1 with no
reported issues. They address long standing problems in libnvdimm's
handling of namespace provisioning relative to alignment constraints
including crashes trying to even load the driver on some PowerPC
configurations.
I did fold one build fix [1] into "libnvdimm/region: Introduce an 'align'
attribute" so as to not convey the bisection breakage to -stable.
Please consider them for v5.4-stable. They do pass the latest
version of the ndctl unit tests.
[1]: 04ff4863e126 libnvdimm/region: Fix build error
---
Original cover letter for the series:
Aneesh reports that PowerPC requires 16MiB alignment for the address
range passed to devm_memremap_pages(), and Jeff reports that it is
possible to create a misaligned namespace which blocks future namespace
creation in that region. Both of these issues require namespace
alignment to be managed at the region level rather than padding at the
namespace level which has been a broken approach to date.
Introduce memremap_compat_align() to indicate the hard requirements of
an arch's memremap_pages() implementation. Use the maximum known
memremap_compat_align() to set the default namespace alignment for
libnvdimm. Consult that alignment when allocating free space. Finally,
allow the default region alignment to be overridden to maintain the same
namespace creation capability as previous kernels (modulo dax operation
not being supported with a non-zero start_pad).

[PATCH v4 0/8] Support new pmem flush and sync instructions for POWER
by Aneesh Kumar K.V
This patch series enables the usage os new pmem flush and sync instructions on POWER
architecture. POWER10 introduces two new variants of dcbf instructions (dcbstps and dcbfps)
that can be used to write modified locations back to persistent storage. Additionally,
POWER10 also introduce phwsync and plwsync which can be used to establish order of these
writes to persistent storage.
This series exposes these instructions to the rest of the kernel. The existing
dcbf and hwsync instructions in P8 and P9 are adequate to enable appropriate
synchronization with OpenCAPI-hosted persistent storage. Hence the new instructions
are added as a variant of the old ones that old hardware won't differentiate.
On POWER10, pmem devices will be represented by a different device tree compat
strings. This ensures that older kernels won't initialize pmem devices on POWER10.
Changes from V3:
* Add new compat string to be used for the device.
* Use arch_pmem_flush_barrier() in dm-writecache.
Aneesh Kumar K.V (8):
powerpc/pmem: Restrict papr_scm to P8 and above.
powerpc/pmem: Add new instructions for persistent storage and sync
powerpc/pmem: Add flush routines using new pmem store and sync
instruction
libnvdimm/nvdimm/flush: Allow architecture to override the flush
barrier
powerpc/pmem/of_pmem: Update of_pmem to use the new barrier

[PATCH v3 1/7] powerpc/pmem: Restrict papr_scm to P8 and above.
by Aneesh Kumar K.V
The PAPR based virtualized persistent memory devices are only supported on
POWER9 and above. In the followup patch, the kernel will switch the persistent
memory cache flush functions to use a new `dcbf` variant instruction. The new
instructions even though added in ISA 3.1 works even on P8 and P9 because these
are implemented as a variant of existing `dcbf` and `hwsync` and on P8 and
above behaves as such.
Considering these devices are only supported on P8 and above, update the driver
to prevent a P7-compat guest from using persistent memory devices.
We don't update of_pmem driver with the same condition, because, on bare-metal,
the firmware enables pmem support only on P9 and above. There the kernel depends
on OPAL firmware to restrict exposing persistent memory related device tree
entries on older hardware. of_pmem.ko is written without any arch dependency and
we don't want to add ppc64 specific cpu feature check in of_pmem driver.

[PATCH v4 0/2] Renovate memcpy_mcsafe with copy_mc_to_{user, kernel}
by Dan Williams
Changes since v3 [1]:
- Drop extern for new function declarations (Michael)
- Rename memcpy_mcsafe_64.S to copy_mc_64.S instead of copy_mc.S and
related fixups (Michael)
- Add a new symlink
(tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/copyloops/copy_mc_64.S) to the new
copy_mc_64.S to fix selftest build breakage (Michael)
- Drop one instance of copy_safe() that survived from v2 of the patchset
(Vivek)
- Fix 32-bit x86 build breakage (kbuild robot)
- Kill off rather than rename tools/arch/x86/include/asm/mcsafe_test.h
since perf is no longer burden with dealing with the copy_mc_generic()
implementation.
- Build success notification received for revised set (kbuild robot)

The primary motivation to go touch memcpy_mcsafe() is that the existing
benefit of doing slow "handle with care" copies is obviated on newer
CPUs. With that concern lifted it also obviates the need to continue to
update the MCA-recovery capability detection code currently gated by
"mcsafe_key". Now the old "mcsafe_key" opt-in to perform the copy with
concerns for recovery fragility can instead be made an opt-out from the
default fast copy implementation (enable_copy_mc_fragile()).
The discussion with Linus on the first iteration of this patch
identified that memcpy_mcsafe() was misnamed relative to its usage. The
new names copy_mc_to_user() and copy_mc_to_kernel() clearly indicate the
intended use case and lets the architecture organize the implementation
accordingly.
For both powerpc and x86 a copy_mc_generic() implementation is added as
the backend for these interfaces.
Patches are relative to tip/master.
