tools/testing/nvdimm: unit test acpi_nfit_ctl()

2016-12-07T01:42:36Z

A recent flurry of bug discoveries in the nfit driver's DSM marshalling routine has highlighted the fact that we do not have unit test coverage for this routine. Add a self-test of acpi_nfit_ctl() routine before probing the "nfit_test.0" device. This mocks stimulus to acpi_nfit_ctl() 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 behavior discovered in the field and ensure the kernel does not regress against implementations it has seen in practice.

treewide: remove redundant #include

2016-10-11T22:06:33Z

Kernel source files need not include explicitly because the top Makefile forces to include it with: -include $(srctree)/include/linux/kconfig.h This commit removes explicit includes except the following: * arch/s390/include/asm/facilities_src.h * tools/testing/radix-tree/linux/kernel.h These two are used for host programs.

tools/testing/nvdimm: support for sub-dividing a pmem region

2016-10-07T16:20:53Z

Update nfit_test to handle multiple sub-allocations within a given pmem region. The mock resource now tracks and un-tracks sub-ranges as they are requested and released (either explicitly or via devm callback). Signed-off-by: Dan Williams

tools/testing/nvdimm: test get_config_size DSM failures

2016-09-21T16:36:36Z

Add an nfit_test specific attribute for gating whether a get_config_size DSM, or any DSM for that matter, succeeds or fails. The get_config_size DSM is initial motivation since that is the first command libnvdimm core issues to determine the state of the namespace label area. Signed-off-by: Dan Williams

tools/testing/nvdimm: fix allocation range for mock flush hint tables

2016-09-19T20:49:48Z

Commit 480b6837aa57 "nvdimm: fix PHYS_PFN/PFN_PHYS mixup" identified that we were passing an invalid address to devm_nvdimm_ioremap(). With that fixed it exposed a bug in the memory reservation size for flush hint tables. Since we map a full page we need to mock a full page of memory to back the flush hint table entries.

tools/testing/nvdimm: unit test for acpi_nfit_notify()

2016-08-23T14:49:42Z

We have had a couple bugs in this implementation in the past and before we add another ->notify() implementation for nvdimm devices, lets allow this routine to be exercised via nfit_test. Rewrite acpi_nfit_notify() in terms of a generic struct device and acpi_handle parameter, and then implement a mock acpi_evaluate_object() that returns a _FIT payload.

tools/testing/nvdimm: fix SIGTERM vs hotplug crash

2016-08-10T22:59:09Z

The unit tests crash when hotplug races the previous probe. This race requires that the loading of the nfit_test module be terminated with SIGTERM, and the module to be unloaded while the ars scan is still running. In contrast to the normal nfit driver, the unit test calls acpi_nfit_init() twice to simulate hotplug, whereas the nominal case goes through the acpi_nfit_notify() event handler. The acpi_nfit_notify() path is careful to flush the previous region registration before servicing the hotplug event. The unit test was missing this guarantee.
