Hi Dan,
Unluckily it looks this commit causes a regression on
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/djbw/nvdimm.git/log/?h=li...
With the patch, "ndctl list" shows nothing, and /dev/pmem0 can't appear.
If I revert the patch, it will be back to normal.
I attached the config/logs. In the bad case, "dmesg" shows a line
[ 5.259017] nd_pmem namespace0.0: 0x0000000000000000, too small must be at least
0x1000
Any idea why this happens? I'm digging into the details and I appreciate your
insights.
BTW, the patch does work fine linux-next's next-20190107.
Thanks,

Hi Dan,
Unluckily it looks this commit causes a regression on
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/djbw/nvdimm.git/log/?h=li...
With the patch, "ndctl list" shows nothing, and /dev/pmem0 can't appear.
If I revert the patch, it will be back to normal.
I attached the config/logs. In the bad case, "dmesg" shows a line
[ 5.259017] nd_pmem namespace0.0: 0x0000000000000000, too small must be at least
0x1000
Any idea why this happens? I'm digging into the details and I appreciate your
insights.
Looks like it is working as expected. The regression you are seeing is
the fact that the patch enables the kernel to enable
nvdimm-namespace-label reads. Those reads find a namespace index block
and a label. Unfortunately the label has the LOCAL flag set and Linux
explicitly ignores pmem namespace labels with that bit set. The reason
for that is due to the fact that the original definition of the LOCAL
bit from v1.1 of the namespace label implementation [1] explicitly
limited the LOCAL flag to "block aperture" regions. If you clear that
LOCAL flag I expect it will work. To my knowledge Windows pretends
that the v1.1 definition never existed.
The UEFI 2.7 specification for v1.2 labels states that setting the
LOCAL flag is optional when "nlabel", number of labels in the set, is
1. Linux makes that mandatory as LOCAL is redundant when nlabel is 1.
That said, the Robustness Principle makes a case that Linux should
tolerate the bit being set. However, it's just a non-trivial amount of
work to unwind the ingrained block-aperture assumptions of that bit.

I was working on linux-next tree's next-20190107 and this patch did "work
fine"
there. The "regression" happens on djbw/nvdimm.git tree's
libnvdimm-pending
branch because we have this recent commit (Jan 19):
11189c1089da ("acpi/nfit: Fix command-supported detection"), which makes such
a change in acpi_nfit_ctl():
- if (!test_bit(cmd, &cmd_mask) || !test_bit(func, &dsm_mask))
+ if (cmd == ND_CMD_CALL && !test_bit(func, &dsm_mask))
+ return -ENOTTY;
+ else if (!test_bit(cmd, &cmd_mask))
return -ENOTTY;
So previously ND_CMD_GET_CONFIG_DATA fails with -ENOTTY and we're good.
Now the command succeeds, but it looks the returned data is inavlid, and I see
the "regression".
The regression you are seeing is the fact that the patch enables the
kernel to
enable nvdimm-namespace-label reads.
Yes.
Those reads find a namespace index block
and a label. Unfortunately the label has the LOCAL flag set and Linux

I believe it's the same reason. Without 11189c1089da the _LSR method
will fail, and otherwise it works and finds the label that it doesn't
like.
I'm not seeing "invalid" data in your failure log. Could you double
check that it's just not the success of _LSR that causes the issue?

I checked where NSLABEL_FLAG_LOCAL is used, but it looks I can't find a
related function.
scan_labels() is where the namespace label is validated relative to
the region type:
if (is_nd_blk(&nd_region->dev)
== !!(flags & NSLABEL_FLAG_LOCAL))
/* pass, region matches label type */;
else
continue;
It also has meaning for the namespace capacity allocation
implementation that needed that flag to distinguish aliased capacity
between Block Aperture Mode and PMEM Mode access.

Assuming Hyper-V implements _LSW, you can recreate / reinitialize the
label area:

ndctl init-labels -f all
ndctl enable-region all

The short story is that Linux enforces that LOCAL == Block Mode
Namespaces. See section 2.2 Namespace Label Layout in the original
spec [1]. The EFI 2.7 definition tried to allow for LOCAL to be set
when an interleave-set was comprised of a single NVDIMM, but then also
states its optional when Nlabel is 1. It has zero functional use for
interleave-set based namespaces even when the interleave-set-width is
1. So Linux takes the option to never set it, and goes further to
reject it if it's set and the region-type does not match, because that
follows the v1.1 meaning of the flag.

Assuming Hyper-V implements _LSW, you can recreate / reinitialize the
label area:
I think Hyper-V only implements _LSR:
[ 4.720623] nfit ACPI0012:00: device:00: has _LSR

Oh, those are benign. They are a side effect of Linux probing for v1.2
namespace labels vs v1.1. It will always find that one of those is
"invalid".

I don't think it should bother. It only makes sense for bare metal and

This is because the Ubuntu kernel has the bug that causes _LSR to fail
so Linux falls back to a namespace defined by the region boundary. On
that namespace there is an "fsdax" info block located at the region
base +4K. That info block is tagged with the uuid of
"35018886-397e-4fe7-a348-0a4d16eec44d".
I'm trying to find out the correct solution. I apprecite your
insights!
It's a mess. First we need to figure out whether the label is actually
specifying a size of zero, or there is some other bug.
However, the next problem is going to be adding "fsdax" mode support
on top of the read-only defined namespaces. The ndctl reconfiguration
flow:
ndctl create-namespace -e namespace0.0 -m fsdax -f
...will likely fail because deleting the previous namespace in the
labels is part of that flow. It's always that labels are writable.
Honestly, the quickest path to something functional for Linux is to
simply delete the _LSR support and use raw mode defined namespaces.
Why have labels if they are read-only and the region is sufficient for
defining boundaries?

It's a mess. First we need to figure out whether the label is actually

I agree.
However, the next problem is going to be adding "fsdax"
mode support
on top of the read-only defined namespaces. The ndctl reconfiguration
flow:
ndctl create-namespace -e namespace0.0 -m fsdax -f
...will likely fail because deleting the previous namespace in the
labels is part of that flow. It's always that labels are writable.
Honestly, the quickest path to something functional for Linux is to
simply delete the _LSR support and use raw mode defined namespaces.
Why have labels if they are read-only and the region is sufficient for
defining boundaries?
Just now Hyper-V team confirmed _LSW is not supported.
But with Ubuntu 19.04 kernel (4.18.0-11-generic), I'm able to run the commands
without any issue:

The above commands can also run fine with an upstream kernel that
doesn't have

But with Ubuntu 19.04 kernel (4.18.0-11-generic), I'm able to run the commands
without any issue:
This is because Ubuntu is running in "label-less" mode. So all the
writes it is performing for namespace reconfiguration are just going
to the data-space of the region, not the labels.

Hyper-V Virtual NVDIMM can already work with Ubuntu 19.04 virtual machine
running on Hyper-V, i.e. I can create a raw or fsdax namesapce, and create a
xfs or ext4 file sysetm in /dev/pmem0p1, and mount the file system with and
without "-o dax". The basic functionality is good.
My recent work is mainly for ndctl support, i.e. get the health info by ndctl,
and use ndctl to monitor the error events (if applicable).

Only in label-less mode apparently.

Right, but the recent fixes have exposed Linux to a labelled namespace
implementation that violates some of the driver's basic assumptions.
To preserve the level of operation you're currently seeing Linux might
need to add a hyper-v-specific quirk to force label-less operation.
1:13 a.m.
New subject: [PATCH] libnvdimm/dimm: Add a no-BLK quirk based on NVDIMM family
As Dexuan reports the NVDIMM_FAMILY_HYPERV platform is incompatible with
the existing Linux namespace implementation because it uses
NSLABEL_FLAG_LOCAL for x1-width PMEM interleave sets. Quirk it as an
platform / DIMM that does not provide BLK-aperture access. Allow the
libnvdimm core to assume no potential for aliasing. In case other
implementations make the same mistake, provide a "noblk" module
parameter to force-enable the quirk.

New subject: [PATCH] libnvdimm/dimm: Add a no-BLK quirk based on NVDIMM family
From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams(a)intel.com>
Sent: Saturday, February 2, 2019 5:13 PM
...
As Dexuan reports the NVDIMM_FAMILY_HYPERV platform is incompatible with
the existing Linux namespace implementation because it uses
NSLABEL_FLAG_LOCAL for x1-width PMEM interleave sets. Quirk it as an
platform / DIMM that does not provide BLK-aperture access. Allow the
libnvdimm core to assume no potential for aliasing. In case other
implementations make the same mistake, provide a "noblk" module
parameter to force-enable the quirk.
Hi Dan,
Thanks very much for the patch! With it, "ndctl list" can show the below:
root@decui-gen2-u1904:~/ndctl# ndctl list
[
{
"dev":"namespace1.0",
"mode":"raw",
"size":137438953472,
"uuid":"c258aaab-f72b-e546-bfa5-be5e07761dbc",
"blockdev":"pmem1",
"name":"Microsoft Hyper-V NVDIMM 1 Label"
},
{
"dev":"namespace0.0",
"mode":"raw",
"size":34359738368,
"uuid":"9f0497a7-4453-7c40-ad35-21a791e00345",
"blockdev":"pmem0",
"name":"Microsoft Hyper-V NVDIMM 0 Label"
}
]
And /dev/pmem0 can appear, but /dev/pmem0p1 can not appear, and the "mode" of
"namespace0.0" is not correct. With the Ubuntu 19.04 4.18 kenel, I get the
below:
root@decui-gen2-u1904:~/ndctl# ndctl list
[
{
"dev":"namespace1.0",
"mode":"raw",
"size":137438953472,
"blockdev":"pmem1"
},
{
"dev":"namespace0.0",
"mode":"fsdax",
"map":"dev",
"size":33820770304,
"uuid":"ef028c4e-2b1f-4bf8-b92a-1109d7a1c914",
"blockdev":"pmem0"
}
]
and /dev/pmem0p1 can appear.
It looks the namespace created by Ubuntu 19.04 (4.18) is incompatible with
the libnvdimm-pending branch + this patch.
It looks we need to completely disable the label usage for NVDIMM_FAMILY_HYPERV
due to compability?
Thanks,

It looks the namespace created by Ubuntu 19.04 (4.18) is incompatible with
the libnvdimm-pending branch + this patch.
This is correct, the configuration switched from label-less by default
to labeled.
It looks we need to completely disable the label usage for
NVDIMM_FAMILY_HYPERV
due to compability?
It's either going to be a quirk in Linux or a quirk in the Hyper-V
configuration. I think it's more manageable for Hyper-V to ship a
"label disable" switch than to try to ship a workaround in Linux. The
"noblk" quirk in Linux works around the LOCAL bit in the labels.
However, the namespace mode regression can only be resolved by hiding
the label capability until the administrator manually switches from
label-less to labeled operation.

It's either going to be a quirk in Linux or a quirk in the Hyper-V
configuration. I think it's more manageable for Hyper-V to ship a

"noblk" quirk in Linux works around the LOCAL bit in the labels.
However, the namespace mode regression can only be resolved by hiding
the label capability until the administrator manually switches from
label-less to labeled operation.
As I understand, the essence of the issue is: Hyper-V emulates the
label mechanism (i.e. it supports _LSI and LSR), but doesn't do it
right (i.e. it doesn't support _LSW).
To manage the namespaces, Linux can choose to use label or not.
If _LSI/_LSR are supported, Linux assumes _LSW is supported as well
and chooses to use label (i.e. the label mode), but since Hyper-V doesn't
support _LSW, Linux fails to change the namespace configuration. In
Ubuntu 19.04 (4.18), the kernel is not aware of Hyper-V _LSI/_LSR, so
the created namespace is in "label-less" mode, and hence can't be used
with the libnvdimm-pending branch + this patch, unless we add a quirk
in Linux to explicitly not use the label.
I agree ideally Hyper-V should hide the label capability, and I'll request
Hyper-V team to do that. I hope Hyper-V guys are still able to do that
in time so we won't need a quirk in Linux kernel.
BTW, I suppose Windows VM should be in "label-less" mode.
Thanks for the help, Dan!

As I understand, the essence of the issue is: Hyper-V emulates the

right (i.e. it doesn't support _LSW).
To manage the namespaces, Linux can choose to use label or not.

and chooses to use label (i.e. the label mode), but since Hyper-V doesn't
support _LSW, Linux fails to change the namespace configuration.
No, that's not quite right. The reason Linux does not see the fsdax
mode configuration is due to the missing "address abstraction GUID" in
the label produced the default Hyper-V configuration. In label-less
mode there is no "address abstraction GUID" to validate so it falls
back to just using the info-block directly.
The _LSW issue is if you wanted to reconfigure a raw namespace to
fsdax mode. The current flow tries to delete the label, but that's
only for reconfiguration, not the initial boot-up case that is
currently failing. The deletion would fail on finding no label-write
capability, but to be clear the boot-up case does not perform any
writes.
In
Ubuntu 19.04 (4.18), the kernel is not aware of Hyper-V _LSI/_LSR, so
the created namespace is in "label-less" mode, and hence can't be used
with the libnvdimm-pending branch + this patch, unless we add a quirk

I agree ideally Hyper-V should hide the label capability, and I'll request
Hyper-V team to do that. I hope Hyper-V guys are still able to do that
in time so we won't need a quirk in Linux kernel.
After some more thought, the "no regressions" rule means that Linux
should ship a quirk for this by default. I think a good heuristic is
to disable label support by default if no _LSW method is detected. An
opt-in can be specified to accept "read-only" configurations, but
that's an exceptional case. I'll send a patch for this.
BTW, I suppose Windows VM should be in "label-less" mode.
I expect Windows mandates labeled operation. This label-less concept
was something Linux shipped in advance of a specification being
ratified and to support early NVDIMMs that don't advertise label
space.
Thanks for the help, Dan!

New subject: [PATCH] acpi/nfit: Require opt-in for read-only label configurations
Recent fixes to command handling enabled Linux to read label
configurations that it could not before. Unfortunately that means that
configurations that were operating in label-less mode will be broken as
the kernel ignores the existing namespace configuration and tries to
honor the new found labels.
Fortunately this seems limited to a case where Linux can quirk the
behavior and maintain the existing label-less semantics by default.
When the platform does not emit an _LSW method, disable all label access
methods. Provide a 'force_labels' module parameter to allow read-only
label operation.

No, that's not quite right. The reason Linux does not see the fsdax
mode configuration is due to the missing "address abstraction GUID" in
the label produced the default Hyper-V configuration.
Hi Dan,
Do you mean NVDIMM_DAX_GUID?
In label-less mode there is no "address abstraction GUID"
to validate so
it falls back to just using the info-block directly.
In the case of not using label storage area, as I understand the info-block
resides in regular data storage area. Can you please tell me where exactly
the info-block is and how its location is decided?
And I suppose the info-block contains the NVDIMM_DAX_GUID?
I'm asking because I found I lose ~500MBytes of the 32GBytes Hyper-V
NVDIMM device, when the namespace is in fsdax mode. When it's in
raw mode, I'm able to use all of the 32GB space.
The _LSW issue is if you wanted to reconfigure a raw namespace to
fsdax mode. The current flow tries to delete the label, but that's
only for reconfiguration, not the initial boot-up case that is
currently failing. The deletion would fail on finding no label-write

I expect Windows mandates labeled operation. This label-less concept
was something Linux shipped in advance of a specification being

space.
Since Hyper-V NVDIMM doesn't support _LSW, IMO Windows VM
can't update the LSI area either, so I guess Windows VM can't use
label either, just like Linux VM? I guess Windows VM also stores an
"info block" when the namespace is in dax mode, just like Linux VM?
BTW, it looks the dax mode configuration in Linux VM is incompatible
with that in Windows VM(?) When I create a DAX-enabled NTFS partition
in Windows VM in the same Hyper-V NVDIMM, Windows VM is able to
use all of the 32GB space (As I mentioned above, in Linux I lose ~500MB).
And the "dax" mode namespace created in Windows VM is detected
as "raw", and vice verse (I think).
I'm trying to understand why I lose ~500MB in Linux dax mode.
Your insights are appreciated!
Thanks,

Hi Dan,

Correct.

resides in regular data storage area. Can you please tell me where exactly
the info-block is and how its location is decided?
And I suppose the info-block contains the NVDIMM_DAX_GUID?
The info-block always lives in the data-storage area, even with
labels. It's placed at namespace base address + 4K.
When labels are present the label gives the namespace a uuid and the
info-block "parent uuid" field must match that value. Without labels
the "parent uuid" field is unused / filled with zero's. Also with v1.2
labels the address abstraction uuid must match the info-block type.
I'm asking because I found I lose ~500MBytes of the 32GBytes
Hyper-V
NVDIMM device, when the namespace is in fsdax mode. When it's in
raw mode, I'm able to use all of the 32GB space.
Yes. A portion of the capacity is reserved for page structures.

Correct.
FYI: in create_namespace_pmem(), label0->abstraction_guid is guid_null in
the case of Hyper-V NVDIMM. It looks Hyper-V does't use the guid.

The info-block always lives in the data-storage area, even with

When labels are present the label gives the namespace a uuid and the

labels the address abstraction uuid must match the info-block type.
Thanks for elaborating on this!
It looks the label mechanism is for advanced usages, e.g., a PMEM namespace
can consist of multiple NVDIMMs, or a namespace only uses part of the
capacity of a NVDIMM, or a NVDIMM contains both PMEM and Block-Mode
namespaces.
For a simple usage, e.g. if a NVDIMM only contains one PMEM namespace which
consumes all the storage space of the NVDIMM, it looks the namespace can
be normally used with the help of the info-block, and we don't really need
the label. IMO this is the case of Hyper-V, i.e. we don't use the label at all,
since _LSW is not implemented.

Yes. A portion of the capacity is reserved for page structures.
Got it. It looks the size of the info-block (and the related padding?) is 2MB,
and "the overhead is 64-bytes per 4K (16GB per 1TB) on x86", so the total
overhead in my 32GB case is: 2MB + 32GB/(4096/64) = 514MB.
Thanks for sharing the link! Now I realized we can use the -M parameter
to not store the page metadata in the NVDIMM:
-M; --map=
A pmem namespace in “fsdax” or “devdax” mode requires allocation of
per-page metadata. The allocation can be drawn from either:
“mem”: typical system memory
“dev”: persistent memory reserved from the namespace

New subject: [PATCH v2] libnvdimm/dimm: Add a no-BLK quirk based on NVDIMM family
As Dexuan reports the NVDIMM_FAMILY_HYPERV platform is incompatible with
the existing Linux namespace implementation because it uses
NSLABEL_FLAG_LOCAL for x1-width PMEM interleave sets. Quirk it as an
platform / DIMM that does not provide BLK-aperture access. Allow the
libnvdimm core to assume no potential for aliasing. In case other
implementations make the same mistake, provide a "noblk" module
parameter to force-enable the quirk.
