nd_btt: Make BTT lanes preemptible

[ Upstream commit 36c75ce3bd299878fd9b238e9803d3817ddafbf3 ]

nd_btt: Make BTT lanes preemptible

[ Upstream commit 36c75ce3bd299878fd9b238e9803d3817ddafbf3 ]

nd_region_acquire_lane uses get_cpu, which disables preemption. This is
an issue on PREEMPT_RT kernels, since btt_write_pg and also
nd_region_acquire_lane itself take a spin lock, resulting in BUG:
sleeping function called from invalid context.

Fix the issue by replacing get_cpu with smp_process_id and
migrate_disable when needed. This makes BTT operations preemptible, thus
permitting the use of spin_lock.

BUG example occurring when running ndctl tests on PREEMPT_RT kernel:

This trades off removing redundant per-dimm CPU cache flushing with an
opportunistic flush on every region disable event to cover the case of
sensitive dirty data in the cache being written back to media after a
secure erase / overwrite event.

libnvdimm/region: Allow setting align attribute on regions without mappings

The alignment constraint for namespace creation in a region was
increased, from 2M to 16M, for non-PowerPC architectures in v5.7 with
commit 2522afb86a8c ("libnvdimm/region: Introduce an 'align'
attribute"). The thought behind the change was that region alignment
should be uniform across all architectures and, since PowerPC had the
largest alignment constraint of 16M, all architectures should conform to
that alignment.

The change regressed namespace creation in pre-defined regions that
relied on 2M alignment but a workaround was provided in the form of a
sysfs attribute, named 'align', that could be adjusted to a non-default
alignment value.

However, the sysfs attribute's store function returned an error (-ENXIO)
when userspace attempted to change the alignment of a region that had no
mappings. This affected 2M aligned regions of volatile memory that were
defined in a device tree using "pmem-region" and created by the
of_pmem_region_driver, since those regions do not contain mappings
(ndr_mappings is 0).

Allow userspace to set the align attribute on pre-existing regions that
do not have mappings so that namespaces can still be within those
regions, despite not being aligned to 16M.

cxl/region: Introduce cxl_pmem_region objects

The LIBNVDIMM subsystem is a platform agnostic representation of system
NVDIMM / persistent memory resources. To date, the CXL subsystem's
interaction with LIBNVDIMM has been to register an nvdimm-bridge device
and cxl_nvdimm objects to proxy CXL capabilities into existing LIBNVDIMM
subsystem mechanics.

With regions the approach is the same. Create a new cxl_pmem_region
object to proxy CXL region details into a LIBNVDIMM definition. With
this enabling LIBNVDIMM can partition CXL persistent memory regions with
legacy namespace labels. A follow-on patch will add CXL region label and
CXL namespace label support to persist region configurations across
driver reload / system-reset events.

nvdimm: Replace lockdep_mutex with local lock classes

In response to an attempt to expand dev->lockdep_mutex for device_lock()
validation [1], Peter points out [2] that the lockdep API already has
the ability to assign a dedicated lock class per subsystem device-type.

Use lockdep_set_class() to override the default device_lock()
'__lockdep_no_validate__' class for each NVDIMM subsystem device-type. This
enables lockdep to detect deadlocks and recursive locking within the
device-driver core and the subsystem.

libnvdimm/region: Fix nvdimm_has_flush() to handle ND_REGION_ASYNC

In case a platform doesn't provide explicit flush-hints but provides an

nvdimm_has_flush() still returns '0' indicating that writes do not
require flushing. This happens on PPC64 with patch at [1] applied, where
'deep_flush' of a region was denied even though an explicit flush
function was provided.

Fix this by adding a condition to nvdimm_has_flush() to test for the
ND_REGION_ASYNC flag on the region and see if a 'region->flush' callback
is assigned.

libnvdimm: Notify disk drivers to revalidate region read-only

Previous kernels allowed the BLKROSET to override the disk's read-only
status. With that situation fixed the pmem driver needs to rely on
notification events to reevaluate the disk read-only status after the
host region has been marked read-write.

Recall that when libnvdimm determines that the persistent memory has
lost persistence (for example lack of energy to flush from DRAM to FLASH
on an NVDIMM-N device) it marks the region read-only, but that state can
be overridden by the user via:

echo 0 > /sys/bus/nd/devices/regionX/read_only

...to date there is no notification that the region has restored
persistence, so the user override is the only recovery.

explicit flush callback via ND_REGION_ASYNC region flag, then
nvdimm_has_flush() still returns '0' indicating that writes do not
require flushing. This happens on PPC64 with patch at [1] applied, where
'deep_flush' of a region was denied even though an explicit flush
function was provided.

Fix this by adding a condition to nvdimm_has_flush() to test for the
ND_REGION_ASYNC flag on the region and see if a 'region->flush' callback
is assigned.

Architectures like ppc64 provide persistent memory specific barriers
that will ensure that all stores for which the modifications are
written to persistent storage by preceding dcbfps and dcbstps
instructions have updated persistent storage before any data
access or data transfer caused by subsequent instructions is initiated.
This is in addition to the ordering done by wmb()

Update nvdimm core such that architecture can use barriers other than
wmb to ensure all previous writes are architecturally visible for
the platform buffer flush.

nvdimm/region: always show the 'align' attribute

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.

libnvdimm/region: Introduce an 'align' attribute

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.

libnvdimm/region: Introduce NDD_LABELING

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.
