[PATCH v2 0/5] block, dax: updates for 4.4

[Dan Williams]

Changes since v1: https://lists.01.org/pipermail/linux-nvdimm/2015-October/002538.html

1/ Rename file_bd_inode to bdev_file_inode (Jan Kara)

2/ Clarify sb_start_pagefault() comment (Jan Kara)

3/ Collect Reviewed-by's

---

As requested [1], break out the block specific updates from the dax-gup
series [2], to merge via the block tree.

1/ Enable dax mappings for raw block devices.  This addresses the review
   comments (from Ross and Honza) from the RFC [3].

2/ Introduce dax_map_atomic() to fix races between device teardown and
   new mapping requests.  This depends on commit 2a9067a91825 "block:
   generic request_queue reference counting" in for-4.4/integrity branch
   of the block tree.

3/ Cleanup clear_pmem() and its usage in dax.  This depends on commit
   0f90cc6609c7 "mm, dax: fix DAX deadlocks" that was merged into v4.3-rc6.

These pass the nvdimm unit tests and have passed a 0day-kbuild-robot run.

[PATCH v2 1/5] pmem, dax: clean up clear_pmem()

[Dan Williams]

Both, __dax_pmd_fault, and clear_pmem() were taking special steps to
clear memory a page at a time to take advantage of non-temporal
clear_page() implementations.  However, x86_64 does not use
non-temporal instructions for clear_page(), and arch_clear_pmem() was
always incurring the cost of __arch_wb_cache_pmem().

Clean up the assumption that doing clear_pmem() a page at a time is more
performant.

[PATCH v2 2/5] dax: increase granularity of dax_clear_blocks() operations

[Dan Williams]

dax_clear_blocks is currently performing a cond_resched() after every
PAGE_SIZE memset.  We need not check so frequently, for example md-raid
only calls cond_resched() at stripe granularity.  Also, in preparation
for introducing a dax_map_atomic() operation that temporarily pins a dax
mapping move the call to cond_resched() to the outer loop.

[PATCH v2 3/5] block, dax: fix lifetime of in-kernel dax mappings with dax_map_atomic()

[Dan Williams]

The DAX implementation needs to protect new calls to ->direct_access()
and usage of its return value against unbind of the underlying block
device.  Use blk_queue_enter()/blk_queue_exit() to either prevent
blk_cleanup_queue() from proceeding, or fail the dax_map_atomic() if the
request_queue is being torn down.

[PATCH v2 3/5] block, dax: fix lifetime of in-kernel dax mappings with dax_map_atomic()

[Dan Williams]

The DAX implementation needs to protect new calls to ->direct_access()
and usage of its return value against unbind of the underlying block
device.  Use blk_queue_enter()/blk_queue_exit() to either prevent
blk_cleanup_queue() from proceeding, or fail the dax_map_atomic() if the
request_queue is being torn down.

[PATCH v2 4/5] block: introduce bdev_file_inode()

[Dan Williams]

Similar to the file_inode() helper, provide a helper to lookup the inode for a
raw block device itself.

[PATCH v2 5/5] block: enable dax for raw block devices

[Dan Williams]

If an application wants exclusive access to all of the persistent memory
provided by an NVDIMM namespace it can use this raw-block-dax facility
to forgo establishing a filesystem.  This capability is targeted
primarily to hypervisors wanting to provision persistent memory for
guests.

Wouldn't another solution be to actually use non-temporal stores?  Why
did you choose to punt?

There's nothing wrong with the mechanics here, but why bother?  I only
see 1 caller in the kernel, and that caller passes in
1<<inode->i_blkbits for the size (so 1 page or less).  Did you plan to
add other callers?  I don't see them in this particular patch set.

Again, I'm not taking issue with the patch, I'm just wondering what
motivated the change.

Thanks!
Jeff

Sure.

Just a priority call at this point.  Patches welcome of course ;-).

The motivation is the subsequent patch to wrap all touches of pmem
within a dax_map_atomic() / dax_unmap_atomic() pairing.  If I just do
the straightforward conversion of this function to dax_map_atomic() it
looks something like this:

The problem is that intervening call to cond_resched().  I later want to
inject an rcu_read_lock()/unlock() pair to allow flushing active
dax_map_atomic() usages at driver teardown time [1].  But, I think the
patch stands alone as a cleanup outside of that admittedly hidden
motivation.

I don't see any problems with your changes here.

OK, I'm going to expose my ignorance here.  :)  Why does the block device
need a page_mkwrite handler?

You're right, it buys us nothing, and deleting it saves having to
comment on why this page_mkwrite instance is not calling
sb_start_pagefault.
