[PATCH v1] libnvdimm, namespace: Replace kmemdup() with kstrndup()
by Andy Shevchenko
kstrndup() takes care of '\0' terminator for the strings.
Use it here instead of kmemdup() + explicit terminating the input string.

[PATCH v2 0/3] Add support for memcpy_mcsafe
by Balbir Singh
memcpy_mcsafe() is an API currently used by the pmem subsystem to convert
errors while doing a memcpy (machine check exception errors) to a return
value. This patchset consists of three patches
1. The first patch is a bug fix to handle machine check errors correctly
while walking the page tables in kernel mode, due to huge pmd/pud sizes
2. The second patch adds memcpy_mcsafe() support, this is largely derived
from existing code
3. The third patch registers for callbacks on machine check exceptions and
in them uses specialized knowledge of the type of page to decide whether
to handle the MCE as is or to return to a fixup address present in
memcpy_mcsafe(). If a fixup address is used, then we return an error
value of -EFAULT to the caller.
Testing
A large part of the testing was done under a simulator by selectively
inserting machine check exceptions in a test driver doing memcpy_mcsafe
via ioctls.
Changelog v2
- Fix the logic of shifting in addr_to_pfn
- Use shift consistently instead of PAGE_SHIFT
- Fix a typo in patch1

[PATCH 0/5] fix radix tree multi-order iteration race
by Ross Zwisler
The following series gets the radix tree test suite compiling again in
the current linux/master, adds a unit test which exposes a race in the
radix tree multi-order iteration code, and then fixes that race.
This race was initially hit on a v4.15 based kernel and results in a GP
fault. I've described the race in detail in patches 4 and 5.
The fix is simple and necessary, and I think it should be merged for
v4.17.
This tree has gotten positive build confirmation from the 0-day bot,
passes the updated radix tree test suite, xfstests, and the original
test that was hitting the race with the v4.15 based kernel.

[fstests PATCH 1/2] src/: fix up mmap() error checking
by Ross Zwisler
I noticed that in some of my C tests in src/ I was incorrectly checking for
mmap() failure by looking for NULL instead of MAP_FAILED. Fix those and
clean up some places where we were testing against -1 (the actual value of
MAP_FAILED) which was manually being cast to a pointer.

[PATCH v2 0/2] ext4: fix DAX dma vs truncate/hole-punch
by Ross Zwisler
This series from Dan:
https://lists.01.org/pipermail/linux-nvdimm/2018-March/014913.html
added synchronization between DAX dma and truncate/hole-punch in XFS.
This short series adds analogous support to ext4.
I've added calls to ext4_break_layouts() everywhere that ext4 removes
blocks from an inode's map.
The timings in XFS are such that it's difficult to hit this race. Dan
was able to show the race by manually introducing delays in the direct
I/O path.
For ext4, though, its trivial to hit this race, and a hit will result in
a trigger of this WARN_ON_ONCE() in dax_disassociate_entry():
WARN_ON_ONCE(trunc && page_ref_count(page) > 1);
I've made an xfstest which tests all the paths where we now call
ext4_break_layouts(). Each of the four paths easily hits this race many
times in my test setup with the xfstest. You can find that test here:
https://lists.01.org/pipermail/linux-nvdimm/2018-June/016435.html
With these patches applied, I've still seen occasional hits of the above
WARN_ON_ONCE(), which tells me that we still have some work to do. I'll
continue looking at these more rare hits.
---
Changes in v2:
* A little cleanup to each patch as suggested by Jan.
* Removed the ext4_break_layouts() call in ext4_truncate_failed_write()
and added a comment instead. (Jan)
* Added reviewed-by tags from Jan.

[PATCH v9 0/3] ndctl, monitor: add ndctl monitor daemon
by QI Fuli
This is the v9 patch for ndctl monitor, a tiny daemon to monitor
the smart events of nvdimm DIMMs. Since NVDIMM does not have a
feature like mirroring, if it breaks down, the data will be
impossible to restore. Ndctl monitor daemon will catch the smart
events notify from firmware and outputs notification to logfile,
therefore users can replace NVDIMM before it is completely broken.

[PATCH 0/2] Namespace creation fixups
by Keith Busch
This is a three-part fixup to the warning that occurs when the available
capacity is fragmented. When this occurs, the user may believe they can
create a larger namespace than is actually possible. This was resulting
in the following kernel warning:
nd_region region0: allocation underrun: 0x0 of 0x1400000000 bytes
WARNING: CPU: 32 PID: 1975 at drivers/nvdimm/namespace_devs.c:913 size_store+0x879/0x8d0 [libnvdimm]
The kernel side of this determines the maximum size by calculating the
largest contiguous extent that can be allocated. If the requested size
exceeds that, an error is returned early instead of reaching the
alarming kernel warning.
To make it possible for the user to know the maximum size it may
request, a new attribute is exported that shows the largest available
extent.
Finally, separate from this series, ndctl is updated to make use of this
new attribute when creating a namespace.

[PATCH v4 00/12] mm: Teach memory_failure() about ZONE_DEVICE pages
by Dan Williams
Changes since v3 [1]:
* Introduce dax_lock_page(), using the radix exceptional entry lock, for
pinning down page->mapping while memory_failure() interrogates the
page. (Jan)
* Collect acks and reviews from Tony and Jan.

As it stands, memory_failure() gets thoroughly confused by dev_pagemap
backed mappings. The recovery code has specific enabling for several
possible page states and needs new enabling to handle poison in dax
mappings.
In order to support reliable reverse mapping of user space addresses:
1/ Add new locking in the memory_failure() rmap path to prevent races
that would typically be handled by the page lock.
2/ Since dev_pagemap pages are hidden from the page allocator and the
"compound page" accounting machinery, add a mechanism to determine the
size of the mapping that encompasses a given poisoned pfn.
3/ Given pmem errors can be repaired, change the speculatively accessed
poison protection, mce_unmap_kpfn(), to be reversible and otherwise
allow ongoing access from the kernel.
A side effect of this enabling is that MADV_HWPOISON becomes usable for
dax mappings, however the primary motivation is to allow the system to
survive userspace consumption of hardware-poison via dax. Specifically
the current behavior is:
mce: Uncorrected hardware memory error in user-access at af34214200
{1}[Hardware Error]: It has been corrected by h/w and requires no further action
mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check events logged
{1}[Hardware Error]: event severity: corrected
Memory failure: 0xaf34214: reserved kernel page still referenced by 1 users
[..]
Memory failure: 0xaf34214: recovery action for reserved kernel page: Failed
mce: Memory error not recovered
<reboot>
...and with these changes:
Injecting memory failure for pfn 0x20cb00 at process virtual address 0x7f763dd00000
Memory failure: 0x20cb00: Killing dax-pmd:5421 due to hardware memory corruption
Memory failure: 0x20cb00: recovery action for dax page: Recovered
