testing: nvdimm: iomap: make __nfit_test_ioremap a macro

The ioremap passed as argument to __nfit_test_ioremap can be a macro so
it cannot be passed as function argument. Make __nfit_test_ioremap into
a macro so that ioremap can be passed as untyped macro argument.

mm/memremap_pages: convert to 'struct range'

The 'struct resource' in 'struct dev_pagemap' is only used for holding
resource span information. The other fields, 'name', 'flags', 'desc',
'parent', 'sibling', and 'child' are all unused wasted space.

This is in preparation for introducing a multi-range extension of
devm_memremap_pages().

The bulk of this change is unwinding all the places internal to libnvdimm
that used 'struct resource' unnecessarily, and replacing instances of
'struct dev_pagemap'.res with 'struct dev_pagemap'.range.

P2PDMA had a minor usage of the resource flags field, but only to report
failures with "%pR". That is replaced with an open coded print of the
range.

mm/devm_memremap_pages: fix final page put race

Logan noticed that devm_memremap_pages_release() kills the percpu_ref
drops all the page references that were acquired at init and then
immediately proceeds to unplug, arch_remove_memory(), the backing pages
for the pagemap. If for some reason device shutdown actually collides
with a busy / elevated-ref-count page then arch_remove_memory() should
be deferred until after that reference is dropped.

As it stands the "wait for last page ref drop" happens *after*
devm_memremap_pages_release() returns, which is obviously too late and
can lead to crashes.

Fix this situation by assigning the responsibility to wait for the
percpu_ref to go idle to devm_memremap_pages() with a new ->cleanup()
callback. Implement the new cleanup callback for all
devm_memremap_pages() users: pmem, devdax, hmm, and p2pdma.

mm, devm_memremap_pages: fix shutdown handling

The last step before devm_memremap_pages() returns success is to allocate
a release action, devm_memremap_pages_release(), to tear the entire setup
down. However, the result from devm_add_action() is not checked.

Checking the error from devm_add_action() is not enough. The api
currently relies on the fact that the percpu_ref it is using is killed by
the time the devm_memremap_pages_release() is run. Rather than continue
this awkward situation, offload the responsibility of killing the
percpu_ref to devm_memremap_pages_release() directly. This allows
devm_memremap_pages() to do the right thing relative to init failures and
shutdown.

Without this change we could fail to register the teardown of
devm_memremap_pages(). The likelihood of hitting this failure is tiny as
small memory allocations almost always succeed. However, the impact of
the failure is large given any future reconfiguration, or disable/enable,
of an nvdimm namespace will fail forever as subsequent calls to
devm_memremap_pages() will fail to setup the pgmap_radix since there will
be stale entries for the physical address range.

An argument could be made to require that the ->kill() operation be set in
the @pgmap arg rather than passed in separately. However, it helps code
readability, tracking the lifetime of a given instance, to be able to grep
the kill routine directly at the devm_memremap_pages() call site.

mm, devm_memremap_pages: mark devm_memremap_pages() EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL

devm_memremap_pages() is a facility that can create struct page entries
for any arbitrary range and give drivers the ability to subvert core
aspects of page management.

Specifically the facility is tightly integrated with the kernel's memory
hotplug functionality. It injects an altmap argument deep into the
architecture specific vmemmap implementation to allow allocating from
specific reserved pages, and it has Linux specific assumptions about page
structure reference counting relative to get_user_pages() and
get_user_pages_fast(). It was an oversight and a mistake that this was
not marked EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL from the outset.

Again, devm_memremap_pagex() exposes and relies upon core kernel internal
assumptions and will continue to evolve along with 'struct page', memory
hotplug, and support for new memory types / topologies. Only an in-kernel
GPL-only driver is expected to keep up with this ongoing evolution. This
interface, and functionality derived from this interface, is not suitable
for kernel-external drivers.

memremap: change devm_memremap_pages interface to use struct dev_pagemap

This new interface is similar to how struct device (and many others)
work. The caller initializes a 'struct dev_pagemap' as required
and calls 'devm_memremap_pages'. This allows the pagemap structure to
be embedded in another structure and thus container_of can be used. In
this way application specific members can be stored in a containing
struct.

This will be used by the P2P infrastructure and HMM could probably
be cleaned up to use it as well (instead of having it's own, similar
'hmm_devmem_pages_create' function).

and if any of the tests fail "nfit_test.0" will be unavailable causing
the rest of the tests to not run / fail.

This unit test will also be a place to land reproductions of quirky BIOS

libnvdimm, pmem, pfn: make pmem_rw_bytes generic and refactor pfn setup

In preparation for providing an alternative (to block device) access
mechanism to persistent memory, convert pmem_rw_bytes() to
nsio_rw_bytes(). This allows ->rw_bytes() functionality without
requiring a 'struct pmem_device' to be instantiated.

In other words, when ->rw_bytes() is in use i/o is driven through
'struct nd_namespace_io', otherwise it is driven through 'struct
pmem_device' and the block layer. This consolidates the disjoint calls
to devm_exit_badblocks() and devm_memunmap() into a common
devm_nsio_disable() and cleans up the init path to use a unified

reads of write combining (WC) mappings vs write-back (WB). This was
done on a random lab machine.

PMEM reads from a write combining mapping:
# dd of=/dev/null if=/dev/pmem0 bs=4096 count=100000
100000+0 records in
100000+0 records out
409600000 bytes (410 MB) copied, 9.2855 s, 44.1 MB/s

PMEM reads from a write-back mapping:
# dd of=/dev/null if=/dev/pmem0 bs=4096 count=1000000
1000000+0 records in
1000000+0 records out
4096000000 bytes (4.1 GB) copied, 3.44034 s, 1.2 GB/s

To be able to safely support a write-back aperture I needed to add
support for the "read flush" _DSM flag, as outlined in the DSM spec:

http://pmem.io/documents/NVDIMM_DSM_Interface_Example.pdf

This flag tells the ND BLK driver that it needs to flush the cache lines
associated with the aperture after the aperture is moved but before any
new data is read. This ensures that any stale cache lines from the
previous contents of the aperture will be discarded from the processor
cache, and the new data will be read properly from the DIMM. We know
that the cache lines are clean and will be discarded without any
writeback because either a) the previous aperture operation was a read,
and we never modified the contents of the aperture, or b) the previous
aperture operation was a write and we must have written back the dirtied
contents of the aperture to the DIMM before the I/O was completed.

In order to add support for the "read flush" flag I needed to add a
generic routine to invalidate cache lines, mmio_flush_range(). This is
protected by the ARCH_HAS_MMIO_FLUSH Kconfig variable, and is currently
only supported on x86.

tools/testing/nvdimm: add mock acpi_nfit_flush_address entries to nfit_test

In preparation for fixing the BLK path to properly use "directed
pcommit" enable the unit test infrastructure to emit mock "flush"
tables. Writes to these flush addresses trigger a memory controller to
flush its internal buffers to persistent media, similar to the x86
"pcommit" instruction.

tools/testing/nvdimm: libnvdimm unit test infrastructure

'libnvdimm' is the first driver sub-system in the kernel to implement
mocking for unit test coverage. The nfit_test module gets built as an
external module and arranges for external module replacements of nfit,
libnvdimm, nd_pmem, and nd_blk. These replacements use the linker
--wrap option to redirect calls to ioremap() + request_mem_region() to
custom defined unit test resources. The end result is a fully
functional nvdimm_bus, as far as userspace is concerned, but with the
capability to perform otherwise destructive tests on emulated resources.

Q: Why not use QEMU for this emulation?
QEMU is not suitable for unit testing. QEMU's role is to faithfully
emulate the platform. A unit test's role is to unfaithfully implement
the platform with the goal of triggering bugs in the corners of the
sub-system implementation. As bugs are discovered in platforms, or the
sub-system itself, the unit tests are extended to backstop a fix with a
reproducer unit test.

Another problem with QEMU is that it would require coordination of 3
software projects instead of 2 (kernel + libndctl [1]) to maintain and
execute the tests. The chances for bit rot and the difficulty of
getting the tests running goes up non-linearly the more components
involved.


Q: Why submit this to the kernel tree instead of external modules in
libndctl?
Simple, to alleviate the same risk that out-of-tree external modules
face. Updates to drivers/nvdimm/ can be immediately evaluated to see if
they have any impact on tools/testing/nvdimm/.


Q: What are the negative implications of merging this?
It is a unique maintenance burden because the purpose of mocking an
interface to enable a unit test is to purposefully short circuit the
semantics of a routine to enable testing. For example
__wrap_ioremap_cache() fakes the pmem driver into "ioremap()'ing" a test
resource buffer allocated by dma_alloc_coherent(). The future
maintenance burden hits when someone changes the semantics of
ioremap_cache() and wonders what the implications are for the unit test.
