device-dax: add memory via add_memory_driver_managed()

2020-06-05T02:06:23Z

Currently, when adding memory, we create entries in /sys/firmware/memmap/ as "System RAM". This will lead to kexec-tools to add that memory to the fixed-up initial memmap for a kexec kernel (loaded via kexec_load()). The memory will be considered initial System RAM by the kexec'd kernel and can no longer be reconfigured. This is not what happens during a real reboot. Let's add our memory via add_memory_driver_managed() now, so we won't create entries in /sys/firmware/memmap/ and indicate the memory as "System RAM (kmem)" in /proc/iomem. This allows everybody (especially kexec-tools) to identify that this memory is special and has to be treated differently than ordinary (hotplugged) System RAM. Before configuring the namespace: [root@localhost ~]# cat /proc/iomem ... 140000000-33fffffff : Persistent Memory 140000000-33fffffff : namespace0.0 3280000000-32ffffffff : PCI Bus 0000:00 After configuring the namespace: [root@localhost ~]# cat /proc/iomem ... 140000000-33fffffff : Persistent Memory 140000000-1481fffff : namespace0.0 148200000-33fffffff : dax0.0 3280000000-32ffffffff : PCI Bus 0000:00 After loading kmem before this change: [root@localhost ~]# cat /proc/iomem ... 140000000-33fffffff : Persistent Memory 140000000-1481fffff : namespace0.0 150000000-33fffffff : dax0.0 150000000-33fffffff : System RAM 3280000000-32ffffffff : PCI Bus 0000:00 After loading kmem after this change: [root@localhost ~]# cat /proc/iomem ... 140000000-33fffffff : Persistent Memory 140000000-1481fffff : namespace0.0 150000000-33fffffff : dax0.0 150000000-33fffffff : System RAM (kmem) 3280000000-32ffffffff : PCI Bus 0000:00 After a proper reboot: [root@localhost ~]# cat /proc/iomem ... 140000000-33fffffff : Persistent Memory 140000000-1481fffff : namespace0.0 148200000-33fffffff : dax0.0 3280000000-32ffffffff : PCI Bus 0000:00 Within the kexec kernel before this change: [root@localhost ~]# cat /proc/iomem ... 140000000-33fffffff : Persistent Memory 140000000-1481fffff : namespace0.0 150000000-33fffffff : System RAM 3280000000-32ffffffff : PCI Bus 0000:00 Within the kexec kernel after this change: [root@localhost ~]# cat /proc/iomem ... 140000000-33fffffff : Persistent Memory 140000000-1481fffff : namespace0.0 148200000-33fffffff : dax0.0 3280000000-32ffffffff : PCI Bus 0000:00 /sys/firmware/memmap/ before this change: 0000000000000000-000000000009fc00 (System RAM) 000000000009fc00-00000000000a0000 (Reserved) 00000000000f0000-0000000000100000 (Reserved) 0000000000100000-00000000bffdf000 (System RAM) 00000000bffdf000-00000000c0000000 (Reserved) 00000000feffc000-00000000ff000000 (Reserved) 00000000fffc0000-0000000100000000 (Reserved) 0000000100000000-0000000140000000 (System RAM) 0000000150000000-0000000340000000 (System RAM) /sys/firmware/memmap/ after a proper reboot: 0000000000000000-000000000009fc00 (System RAM) 000000000009fc00-00000000000a0000 (Reserved) 00000000000f0000-0000000000100000 (Reserved) 0000000000100000-00000000bffdf000 (System RAM) 00000000bffdf000-00000000c0000000 (Reserved) 00000000feffc000-00000000ff000000 (Reserved) 00000000fffc0000-0000000100000000 (Reserved) 0000000100000000-0000000140000000 (System RAM) /sys/firmware/memmap/ after this change: 0000000000000000-000000000009fc00 (System RAM) 000000000009fc00-00000000000a0000 (Reserved) 00000000000f0000-0000000000100000 (Reserved) 0000000000100000-00000000bffdf000 (System RAM) 00000000bffdf000-00000000c0000000 (Reserved) 00000000feffc000-00000000ff000000 (Reserved) 00000000fffc0000-0000000100000000 (Reserved) 0000000100000000-0000000140000000 (System RAM) kexec-tools already seem to basically ignore any System RAM that's not on top level when searching for areas to place kexec images - but also for determining crash areas to dump via kdump. Changing the resource name won't have an impact. Handle unloading of the driver after memory hotremove failed properly, by duplicating the string if necessary.

vfs: track per-sb writeback errors and report them to syncfs

2020-06-02T17:59:05Z

Patch series "vfs: have syncfs() return error when there are writeback errors", v6. Currently, syncfs does not return errors when one of the inodes fails to be written back. It will return errors based on the legacy AS_EIO and AS_ENOSPC flags when syncing out the block device fails, but that's not particularly helpful for filesystems that aren't backed by a blockdev. It's also possible for a stray sync to lose those errors. The basic idea in this set is to track writeback errors at the superblock level, so that we can quickly and easily check whether something bad happened without having to fsync each file individually. syncfs is then changed to reliably report writeback errors after they occur, much in the same fashion as fsync does now. This patch (of 2): Usually we suggest that applications call fsync when they want to ensure that all data written to the file has made it to the backing store, but that can be inefficient when there are a lot of open files. Calling syncfs on the filesystem can be more efficient in some situations, but the error reporting doesn't currently work the way most people expect. If a single inode on a filesystem reports a writeback error, syncfs won't necessarily return an error. syncfs only returns an error if __sync_blockdev fails, and on some filesystems that's a no-op. It would be better if syncfs reported an error if there were any writeback failures. Then applications could call syncfs to see if there are any errors on any open files, and could then call fsync on all of the other descriptors to figure out which one failed. This patch adds a new errseq_t to struct super_block, and has mapping_set_error also record writeback errors there. To report those errors, we also need to keep an errseq_t in struct file to act as a cursor. This patch adds a dedicated field for that purpose, which slots nicely into 4 bytes of padding at the end of struct file on x86_64. An earlier version of this patch used an O_PATH file descriptor to cue the kernel that the open file should track the superblock error and not the inode's writeback error. I think that API is just too weird though. This is simpler and should make syncfs error reporting "just work" even if someone is multiplexing fsync and syncfs on the same fds.

device-dax: don't leak kernel memory to user space after unloading kmem

This force-unloading will work, even if memory cannot get removed from the system. [root@localhost ~]# rmmod kmem [ 86.380228] removing memory fails, because memory [0x0000000150000000-0x0000000157ffffff] is onlined ...

This fails as expected due to the busy memory resource, and the memory cannot be used. However, the dax0.0 device is removed, and along its name.

dax: Move mandatory ->zero_page_range() check in alloc_dax()

2020-04-03T02:15:03Z

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.

dax, pmem: Add a dax operation zero_page_range

2020-04-03T02:15:03Z

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.

dax: Get rid of fs_dax_get_by_host() helper

2020-01-16T17:52:27Z

Looks like nobody is using fs_dax_get_by_host() except fs_dax_get_by_bdev() and it can easily use dax_get_by_host() instead. IIUC, fs_dax_get_by_host() was only introduced so that one could compile with CONFIG_FS_DAX=n and CONFIG_DAX=m. fs_dax_get_by_bdev() achieves the same purpose and hence it looks like fs_dax_get_by_host() is not needed anymore.

dax: Add numa_node to the default device-dax attributes

2019-11-19T17:52:12Z

It is confusing that device-dax instances publish a 'target_node' attribute, but not a 'numa_node'. The 'numa_node' information is available elsewhere in the sysfs device hierarchy, but it is not obvious and not reliable from one device-dax instance-type (e.g. child devices of nvdimm namespaces) to the next (e.g. 'hmem' devices defined by EFI Specific Purpose Memory and the ACPI HMAT).
