Subject: [PATCH] libnvdimm: Let revalidate_disk() revalidate region read-only
Date: Mon, 08 Mar 2021 22:54:22 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <161527286194.446794.5215036039655765042.stgit@dwillia2-desk3.amr.corp.intel.com> (raw)

Previous kernels allowed the BLKROSET to override the disk's read-only
status. With that situation fixed the pmem driver needs to rely on
revalidate_disk() to clear 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.

Fixes: 52f019d43c22 ("block: add a hard-readonly flag to struct gendisk")
