dax: refactor dax-fs into a generic provider of 'struct dax_device' instances We want dax capable drivers to be able to publish a set of dax operations [1]. However, we do not want to further abuse block_devices to advertise these operations. Instead we will attach these operations to a dax device and add a lookup mechanism to go from block device path to a dax device. A dax capable driver like pmem or brd is responsible for registering a dax device, alongside a block device, and then a dax capable filesystem is responsible for retrieving the dax device by path name if it wants to call dax_operations. For now, we refactor the dax pseudo-fs to be a generic facility, rather than an implementation detail, of the device-dax use case. Where a "dax device" is just an inode + dax infrastructure, and "Device DAX" is a mapping service layered on top of that base 'struct dax_device'. "Filesystem DAX" is then a mapping service that layers a filesystem on top of that same base device. Filesystem DAX is associated with a block_device for now, but perhaps directly to a dax device in the future, or for new pmem-only filesystems.

/dev/dax, pmem: direct access to persistent memory Device DAX is the device-centric analogue of Filesystem DAX (CONFIG_FS_DAX). It allows memory ranges to be allocated and mapped without need of an intervening file system. Device DAX is strict, precise and predictable. Specifically this interface: 1/ Guarantees fault granularity with respect to a given page size (pte, pmd, or pud) set at configuration time. 2/ Enforces deterministic behavior by being strict about what fault scenarios are supported. For example, by forcing MADV_DONTFORK semantics and omitting MAP_PRIVATE support device-dax guarantees that a mapping always behaves/performs the same once established. It is the "what you see is what you get" access mechanism to differentiated memory vs filesystem DAX which has filesystem specific implementation semantics. Persistent memory is the first target, but the mechanism is also targeted for exclusive allocations of performance differentiated memory ranges. This commit is limited to the base device driver infrastructure to associate a dax device with pmem range.

device-dax: "Hotplug" persistent memory for use like normal RAM This is intended for use with NVDIMMs that are physically persistent (physically like flash) so that they can be used as a cost-effective RAM replacement. Intel Optane DC persistent memory is one implementation of this kind of NVDIMM. Currently, a persistent memory region is "owned" by a device driver, either the "Direct DAX" or "Filesystem DAX" drivers. These drivers allow applications to explicitly use persistent memory, generally by being modified to use special, new libraries. (DIMM-based persistent memory hardware/software is described in great detail here: Documentation/nvdimm/nvdimm.txt). However, this limits persistent memory use to applications which *have* been modified. To make it more broadly usable, this driver "hotplugs" memory into the kernel, to be managed and used just like normal RAM would be. To make this work, management software must remove the device from being controlled by the "Device DAX" infrastructure: echo dax0.0 > /sys/bus/dax/drivers/device_dax/unbind and then tell the new driver that it can bind to the device: echo dax0.0 > /sys/bus/dax/drivers/kmem/new_id After this, there will be a number of new memory sections visible in sysfs that can be onlined, or that may get onlined by existing udev-initiated memory hotplug rules. This rebinding procedure is currently a one-way trip. Once memory is bound to "kmem", it's there permanently and can not be unbound and assigned back to device_dax. The kmem driver will never bind to a dax device unless the device is *explicitly* bound to the driver. There are two reasons for this: One, since it is a one-way trip, it can not be undone if bound incorrectly. Two, the kmem driver destroys data on the device. Think of if you had good data on a pmem device. It would be catastrophic if you compile-in "kmem", but leave out the "device_dax" driver. kmem would take over the device and write volatile data all over your good data. This inherits any existing NUMA information for the newly-added memory from the persistent memory device that came from the firmware. On Intel platforms, the firmware has guarantees that require each socket's persistent memory to be in a separate memory-only NUMA node. That means that this patch is not expected to create NUMA nodes, but will simply hotplug memory into existing nodes.

dax: Assign RAM regions to memory-hotplug by default The default mode for device-dax instances is backwards for RAM-regions as evidenced by the fact that it tends to catch end users by surprise. "Where is my memory?". Recall that platforms are increasingly shipping with performance-differentiated memory pools beyond typical DRAM and NUMA effects. This includes HBM (high-bandwidth-memory) and CXL (dynamic interleave, varied media types, and future fabric attached possibilities). For this reason the EFI_MEMORY_SP (EFI Special Purpose Memory => Linux 'Soft Reserved') attribute is expected to be applied to all memory-pools that are not the general purpose pool. This designation gives an Operating System a chance to defer usage of a memory pool until later in the boot process where its performance properties can be interrogated and administrator policy can be applied. 'Soft Reserved' memory can be anything from too limited and precious to be part of the general purpose pool (HBM), too slow to host hot kernel data structures (some PMEM media), or anything in between. However, in the absence of an explicit policy, the memory should at least be made usable by default. The current device-dax default hides all non-general-purpose memory behind a device interface. The expectation is that the distribution of users that want the memory online by default vs device-dedicated-access by default follows the Pareto principle. A small number of enlightened users may want to do userspace memory management through a device, but general users just want the kernel to make the memory available with an option to get more advanced later. Arrange for all device-dax instances not backed by PMEM to default to attaching to the dax_kmem driver. From there the baseline memory hotplug policy (CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_DEFAULT_ONLINE / memhp_default_state=) gates whether the memory comes online or stays offline. Where, if it stays offline, it can be reliably converted back to device-mode where it can be partitioned, or fronted by a userspace allocator. So, if someone wants device-dax instances for their 'Soft Reserved' memory: 1/ Build a kernel with CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_DEFAULT_ONLINE=n or boot with memhp_default_state=offline, or roll the dice and hope that the kernel has not pinned a page in that memory before step 2. 2/ Write a udev rule to convert the target dax device(s) from 'system-ram' mode to 'devdax' mode: daxctl reconfigure-device $dax -m devdax -f Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: Gregory Price <gregory.price@memverge.com> Tested-by: Fan Ni <fan.ni@samsung.com> Reviewed-by: Dave Jiang <dave.jiang@intel.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/167602003336.1924368.6809503401422267885.stgit@dwillia2-xfh.jf.intel.com Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>

device-dax: "Hotplug" persistent memory for use like normal RAM This is intended for use with NVDIMMs that are physically persistent (physically like flash) so that they can be used as a cost-effective RAM replacement. Intel Optane DC persistent memory is one implementation of this kind of NVDIMM. Currently, a persistent memory region is "owned" by a device driver, either the "Direct DAX" or "Filesystem DAX" drivers. These drivers allow applications to explicitly use persistent memory, generally by being modified to use special, new libraries. (DIMM-based persistent memory hardware/software is described in great detail here: Documentation/nvdimm/nvdimm.txt). However, this limits persistent memory use to applications which *have* been modified. To make it more broadly usable, this driver "hotplugs" memory into the kernel, to be managed and used just like normal RAM would be. To make this work, management software must remove the device from being controlled by the "Device DAX" infrastructure: echo dax0.0 > /sys/bus/dax/drivers/device_dax/unbind and then tell the new driver that it can bind to the device: echo dax0.0 > /sys/bus/dax/drivers/kmem/new_id After this, there will be a number of new memory sections visible in sysfs that can be onlined, or that may get onlined by existing udev-initiated memory hotplug rules. This rebinding procedure is currently a one-way trip. Once memory is bound to "kmem", it's there permanently and can not be unbound and assigned back to device_dax. The kmem driver will never bind to a dax device unless the device is *explicitly* bound to the driver. There are two reasons for this: One, since it is a one-way trip, it can not be undone if bound incorrectly. Two, the kmem driver destroys data on the device. Think of if you had good data on a pmem device. It would be catastrophic if you compile-in "kmem", but leave out the "device_dax" driver. kmem would take over the device and write volatile data all over your good data. This inherits any existing NUMA information for the newly-added memory from the persistent memory device that came from the firmware. On Intel platforms, the firmware has guarantees that require each socket's persistent memory to be in a separate memory-only NUMA node. That means that this patch is not expected to create NUMA nodes, but will simply hotplug memory into existing nodes. Because NUMA nodes are created, the existing NUMA APIs and tools are sufficient to create policies for applications or memory areas to have affinity for or an aversion to using this memory. There is currently some metadata at the beginning of pmem regions. The section-size memory hotplug restrictions, plus this small reserved area can cause the "loss" of a section or two of capacity.

device-dax: Add a driver for "hmem" devices Platform firmware like EFI/ACPI may publish "hmem" platform devices. Such a device is a performance differentiated memory range likely reserved for an application specific use case. The driver gives access to 100% of the capacity via a device-dax mmap instance by default. However, if over-subscription and other kernel memory management is desired the resulting dax device can be assigned to the core-mm via the kmem driver. This consumes "hmem" devices the producer of "hmem" devices is saved for a follow-on patch so that it can reference the new CONFIG_DEV_DAX_HMEM symbol to gate performing the enumeration work.

/dev/dax, pmem: direct access to persistent memory Device DAX is the device-centric analogue of Filesystem DAX (CONFIG_FS_DAX). It allows memory ranges to be allocated and mapped without need of an intervening file system. Device DAX is strict, precise and predictable. Specifically this interface: 1/ Guarantees fault granularity with respect to a given page size (pte, pmd, or pud) set at configuration time. 2/ Enforces deterministic behavior by being strict about what fault scenarios are supported. For example, by forcing MADV_DONTFORK semantics and omitting MAP_PRIVATE support device-dax guarantees that a mapping always behaves/performs the same once established. It is the "what you see is what you get" access mechanism to differentiated memory vs filesystem DAX which has filesystem specific implementation semantics. Persistent memory is the first target, but the mechanism is also targeted for exclusive allocations of performance differentiated memory ranges. This commit is limited to the base device driver infrastructure to associate a dax device with pmem range.
