[PATCH 00/12] device-dax: Support sub-dividing soft-reserved ranges
by Dan Williams
The device-dax facility allows an address range to be directly mapped
through a chardev, or turned around and hotplugged to the core kernel
page allocator as System-RAM. It is the baseline mechanism for
converting persistent memory (pmem) to be used as another volatile
memory pool i.e. the current Memory Tiering hot topic on linux-mm.
In the case of pmem the nvdimm-namespace-label mechanism can sub-divide
it, but that labeling mechanism is not available / applicable to
soft-reserved ("EFI specific purpose") memory [1]. This series provides
a sysfs-mechanism for the daxctl utility to enable provisioning of
volatile-soft-reserved memory ranges.
The motivations for this facility are:
1/ Allow performance differentiated memory ranges to be split between
kernel-managed and directly-accessed use cases.
2/ Allow physical memory to be provisioned along performance relevant
address boundaries. For example, divide a memory-side cache [2] along
cache-color boundaries.
3/ Parcel out soft-reserved memory to VMs using device-dax as a security
/ permissions boundary [3]. Specifically I have seen people (ab)using
memmap=nn!ss (mark System-RAM as Peristent Memory) just to get the
device-dax interface on custom address ranges.
The baseline for this series is today's next/master + "[PATCH v2 0/6]
Manual definition of Soft Reserved memory devices" [4].
Big thanks to Joao for the early testing and feedback on this series!
Given the dependencies on the memremap_pages() reworks in Andrew's tree
and the proximity to v5.7 this is clearly v5.8 material. The patches in
most need of a second opinion are the memremap_pages() reworks to switch
from 'struct resource' to 'struct range' and allow for an array of
ranges to be mapped at once.

[PATCH v2 0/3] Maintainer Entry Profiles
by Dan Williams
Changes since v1 [1]:
- Simplify the profile to a hopefully non-controversial set of
attributes that address the most common sources of contributor
confusion, or maintainer frustration.
- Rename "Subsystem Profile" to "Maintainer Entry Profile". Not every
entry in MAINTAINERS represents a full subsystem. There may be driver
local considerations to communicate to a submitter in addition to wider
subsystem guidelines.
- Delete the old P: tag in MAINTAINERS rather than convert to a new E:
tag (Joe Perches).
[1]: http://lore.kernel.org/r/154225759358.2499188.15268218778137905050.stgit@...

At last years Plumbers Conference I proposed the Maintainer Entry
Profile as a document that a maintainer can provide to set contributor
expectations and provide fodder for a discussion between maintainers
about the merits of different maintainer policies.
For those that did not attend, the goal of the Maintainer Entry Profile,
and the Maintainer Handbook more generally, is to provide a desk
reference for maintainers both new and experienced. The session
introduction was:
The first rule of kernel maintenance is that there are no hard and
fast rules. That state of affairs is both a blessing and a curse. It
has served the community well to be adaptable to the different
people and different problem spaces that inhabit the kernel
community. However, that variability also leads to inconsistent
experiences for contributors, little to no guidance for new
contributors, and unnecessary stress on current maintainers. There
are quite a few of people who have been around long enough to make
enough mistakes that they have gained some hard earned proficiency.
However if the kernel community expects to keep growing it needs to
be able both scale the maintainers it has and ramp new ones without
necessarily let them make a decades worth of mistakes to learn the
ropes.
To be clear, the proposed document does not impose or suggest new
rules. Instead it provides an outlet to document the unwritten rules
and policies in effect for each subsystem, and that each subsystem
might decide differently for whatever reason.

[PATCH v5 0/4] powerpc/papr_scm: Add support for reporting nvdimm health
by Vaibhav Jain
The PAPR standard[1][3] provides mechanisms to query the health and
performance stats of an NVDIMM via various hcalls as described in Ref[2].
Until now these stats were never available nor exposed to the user-space
tools like 'ndctl'. This is partly due to PAPR platform not having support
for ACPI and NFIT. Hence 'ndctl' is unable to query and report the dimm
health status and a user had no way to determine the current health status
of a NDVIMM.
To overcome this limitation, this patch-set updates papr_scm kernel module
to query and fetch nvdimm health stats using hcalls described in Ref[2].
This health and performance stats are then exposed to userspace via syfs
and Dimm-Specific-Methods(DSM) issued by libndctl.
These changes coupled with proposed ndtcl changes located at Ref[4] should
provide a way for the user to retrieve NVDIMM health status using ndtcl.
Below is a sample output using proposed kernel + ndctl for PAPR NVDIMM in
a emulation environment:
# ndctl list -DH
[
{
"dev":"nmem0",
"health":{
"health_state":"fatal",
"shutdown_state":"dirty"
}
}
]
Dimm health report output on a pseries guest lpar with vPMEM or HMS
based nvdimms that are in perfectly healthy conditions:
# ndctl list -d nmem0 -H
[
{
"dev":"nmem0",
"health":{
"health_state":"ok",
"shutdown_state":"clean"
}
}
]
PAPR Dimm-Specific-Methods(DSM)
================================
As the name suggests DSMs are used by vendor specific code in libndctl to
execute certain operations or fetch certain information for NVDIMMS. DSMs
can be sent to papr_scm module via libndctl (userspace) and libnvdimm
(kernel) using the ND_CMD_CALL ioctl which can be handled in the dimm
control function papr_scm_ndctl(). For PAPR this patchset proposes a single
DSM to retrieve DIMM health, defined in the newly introduced uapi header
named 'papr_scm_dsm.h'. Support for more DSMs will be added in future.
Structure of the patch-set
==========================
The patchset starts with implementing support for fetching nvdimm health
information from PHYP and partially exposing it to user-space via nvdimm
flags.
Second & Third patches deal with implementing support for servicing DSM
commands papr_scm.
Finally the Fourth patch implements support for servicing DSM
'DSM_PAPR_SCM_HEALTH' that returns the nvdimm health information to
libndctl.
Changelog:
==========
v4..v5:
* Fixed a bug in new implementation of papr_scm_ndctl() that was triggering
a false error condition.
v3..v4:
* Restructured papr_scm_ndctl() to dispatch ND_CMD_CALL commands to a new
function named papr_scm_service_dsm() to serivice DSM requests. [Aneesh]
v2..v3:
* Updated the papr_scm_dsm.h header to be more confimant general kernel
guidelines for UAPI headers. [Aneesh]
* Changed the definition of macro PAPR_SCM_DIMM_UNARMED_MASK to not
include case when the nvdimm is unarmed because its a vPMEM
nvdimm. [Aneesh]
v1..v2:
* Restructured the patch-set based on review comments on V1 patch-set to
simplify the patch review. Multiple small patches have been combined into
single patches to reduce cross referencing that was needed in earlier
patch-set. Hence most of the patches in this patch-set as now new. [Aneesh]
* Removed the initial work done for fetch nvdimm performance statistics.
These changes will be re-proposed in a separate patch-set. [Aneesh]
* Simplified handling of versioning of 'struct
nd_papr_scm_dimm_health_stat_v1' as only one version of the structure is
currently in existence.

[PATCH 00/20] virtiofs: Add DAX support
by Vivek Goyal
Hi,
This patch series adds DAX support to virtiofs filesystem. This allows
bypassing guest page cache and allows mapping host page cache directly
in guest address space.
When a page of file is needed, guest sends a request to map that page
(in host page cache) in qemu address space. Inside guest this is
a physical memory range controlled by virtiofs device. And guest
directly maps this physical address range using DAX and hence gets
access to file data on host.
This can speed up things considerably in many situations. Also this
can result in substantial memory savings as file data does not have
to be copied in guest and it is directly accessed from host page
cache.
Most of the changes are limited to fuse/virtiofs. There are couple
of changes needed in generic dax infrastructure and couple of changes
in virtio to be able to access shared memory region.
These patches apply on top of 5.6-rc4 and are also available here.
https://github.com/rhvgoyal/linux/commits/vivek-04-march-2020
Any review or feedback is welcome.
Performance
===========
I have basically run bunch of fio jobs to get a sense of speed of
various operations. I wrote a simple wrapper script to run fio jobs
3 times and take their average and report it. These scripts and fio
jobs are available here.
https://github.com/rhvgoyal/virtiofs-tests
I set up a directory on ramfs on host and exported that directory inside
guest using virtio-fs and ran tests inside guests. Ran tests with
cache=none both with dax enabled and disabled. cache=none option
enforces no caching happens in guest both for data and metadata.
Test Setup
-----------
- A fedora 29 host with 376Gi RAM, 2 sockets (20 cores per socket, 2
threads per core)
- Using ramfs on host as backing store. 4 fio files of 8G each.
- Created a VM with 64 VCPUS and 64GB memory. An 64GB cache window (for dax
mmap).
Test Results
------------
- Results in two configurations have been reported.
virtio-fs (cache=none) and virtio-fs (cache=none + dax).
There are other caching modes as well but to me cache=none seemed most
interesting for now because it does not cache anything in guest
and provides strong coherence. Other modes which provide less strong
coherence and hence are faster are yet to be benchmarked.
- Three fio ioengines psync, libaio and mmap have been used.
- I/O Workload of randread, radwrite, seqread and seqwrite have been run.
- Each file size is 8G. Block size 4K. iodepth=16
- "multi" means same operation was done with 4 jobs and each job is
operating on a file of size 8G.
- Some results are "0 (KiB/s)". That means that particular operation is
not supported in that configuration.

Conclusion
===========
- virtio-fs with dax enabled is significantly faster and memory
effiecient as comapred to non-dax operation.
Note:
Right now dax window is 64G and max fio file size is 32G as well (4
files of 8G each). That means everything fits into dax window and no
reclaim is needed. Dax window reclaim logic is slower and if file
size is bigger than dax window size, performance slows down.

[PATCH v4 00/25] Add support for OpenCAPI Persistent Memory devices
by Alastair D'Silva
This series adds support for OpenCAPI Persistent Memory devices on bare metal (arch/powernv), exposing them as nvdimms so that we can make use of the existing infrastructure. There already exists a driver for the same devices abstracted through PowerVM (arch/pseries): arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/papr_scm.c
These devices are connected via OpenCAPI, and present as LPC (lowest coherence point) memory to the system, practically, that means that memory on these cards could be treated as conventional, cache-coherent memory.
Since the devices are connected via OpenCAPI, they are not enumerated via ACPI. Instead, OpenCAPI links present as pseudo-PCI bridges, with devices below them.
This series introduces a driver that exposes the memory on these cards as nvdimms, with each card getting it's own bus. This is somewhat complicated by the fact that the cards do not have out of band persistent storage for metadata, so 1 SECTION_SIZE's (see SPARSEMEM) worth of storage is carved out of the top of the card storage to implement the ndctl_config_* calls.
The driver is not responsible for configuring the NPU (NVLink Processing Unit) BARs to map the LPC memory from the card into the system's physical address space, instead, it requests this to be done via OPAL calls (typically implemented by Skiboot).
The series is structured as follows:
- Required infrastructure changes & cleanup

[PATCH v6 0/6] dax/pmem: Provide a dax operation to zero page range
by Vivek Goyal
Hi,
This is V6 of patches. These patches are also available at.
Changes since V5:
- Dan Williams preferred ->zero_page_range() to only accept PAGE_SIZE
aligned request and clear poison only on page size aligned zeroing. So
I changed it accordingly.
- Dropped all the modifications which were required to support arbitrary
range zeroing with-in a page.
- This patch series also fixes the issue where "truncate -s 512 foo.txt"
will fail if first sector of file is poisoned. Currently it succeeds
and filesystem expectes whole of the filesystem block to be free of
poison at the end of the operation.
Christoph, I have dropped your Reviewed-by tag on 1-2 patches because
these patches changed substantially. Especially signature of of
dax zero_page_range() helper.
Thanks
Vivek
Vivek Goyal (6):
pmem: Add functions for reading/writing page to/from pmem
dax, pmem: Add a dax operation zero_page_range
s390,dcssblk,dax: Add dax zero_page_range operation to dcssblk driver

[PATCH] memcpy_flushcache: use cache flusing for larger lengths
by Mikulas Patocka
I tested dm-writecache performance on a machine with Optane nvdimm and it
turned out that for larger writes, cached stores + cache flushing perform
better than non-temporal stores. This is the throughput of dm-writecache
measured with this command:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mapper/wc bs=64 oflag=direct
block size 512 1024 2048 4096
movnti 496 MB/s 642 MB/s 725 MB/s 744 MB/s
clflushopt 373 MB/s 688 MB/s 1.1 GB/s 1.2 GB/s
We can see that for smaller block, movnti performs better, but for larger
blocks, clflushopt has better performance.
This patch changes the function __memcpy_flushcache accordingly, so that
with size >= 768 it performs cached stores and cache flushing. Note that
we must not use the new branch if the CPU doesn't have clflushopt - in
that case, the kernel would use inefficient "clflush" instruction that has
very bad performance.

[PATCH 3/7] dax: Add missing annotation for wait_entry_unlocked()
by Jules Irenge
Sparse reports a warning at wait_entry_unlocked()
warning: context imbalance in wait_entry_unlocked()
- unexpected unlock
The root cause is the missing annotation at wait_entry_unlocked()
Add the missing __releases(xa) annotation.
