Nicolas Iooss 2d9a02744f nvdimm: use the right length of "pmem"
In order to test that the name of a resource begins with "pmem", call
strncmp() with 4 as length instead of 3 to match the whole prefix.

Dan Williams 16660eaea0 libnvdimm, namespace: update label implementation for multi-pmem
Instead of assuming that there will only ever be one allocated range at
the start of the region, account for additional namespaces that might
start at an offset from the region base.

After this change pmem namespaces now have a reason to carry an array of
resources similar to blk.  Unifying the resource tracking infrastructure
in nd_namespace_common is a future cleanup candidate.

Dan Williams ae8219f186 libnvdimm, label: convert label tracking to a linked list
In preparation for enabling multiple namespaces per pmem region, convert
the label tracking to use a linked list.  In particular this will allow
select_pmem_id() to move labels from the unvalidated state to the
validated state.  Currently we only track one validated set per-region.

Dan Williams 8c2f7e8658 libnvdimm: infrastructure for btt devices
NVDIMM namespaces, in addition to accepting "struct bio" based requests,
also have the capability to perform byte-aligned accesses.  By default
only the bio/block interface is used.  However, if another driver can
make effective use of the byte-aligned capability it can claim namespace
interface and use the byte-aligned ->rw_bytes() interface.

The BTT driver is the initial first consumer of this mechanism to allow
adding atomic sector update semantics to a pmem or blk namespace.  This
patch is the sysfs infrastructure to allow configuring a BTT instance
for a namespace.  Enabling that BTT and performing i/o is in a
subsequent patch.

Dan Williams 0ba1c63489 libnvdimm: write blk label set
After 'uuid', 'size', 'sector_size', and optionally 'alt_name' have been
set to valid values the labels on the dimm can be updated.  The
difference with the pmem case is that blk namespaces are limited to one
dimm and can cover discontiguous ranges in dpa space.

Also, after allocating label slots, it is useful for userspace to know
how many slots are left.  Export this information in sysfs.

Dan Williams f524bf271a libnvdimm: write pmem label set
After 'uuid', 'size', and optionally 'alt_name' have been set to valid
values the labels on the dimms can be updated.

Write procedure is:
1/ Allocate and write new labels in the "next" index
2/ Free the old labels in the working copy
3/ Write the bitmap and the label space on the dimm
4/ Write the index to make the update valid

Label ranges directly mirror the dpa resource values for the given
label_id of the namespace.

Dan Williams bf9bccc14c libnvdimm: pmem label sets and namespace instantiation.
A complete label set is a PMEM-label per-dimm per-interleave-set where
all the UUIDs match and the interleave set cookie matches the hosting
interleave set.

Present sysfs attributes for manipulation of a PMEM-namespace's
'alt_name', 'uuid', and 'size' attributes.  A later patch will make
these settings persistent by writing back the label.

Note that PMEM allocations grow forwards from the start of an interleave
set (lowest dimm-physical-address (DPA)).  BLK-namespaces that alias
with a PMEM interleave set will grow allocations backward from the
highest DPA.

Dan Williams 4a826c83db libnvdimm: namespace indices: read and validate
This on media label format [1] consists of two index blocks followed by
an array of labels.  None of these structures are ever updated in place.
A sequence number tracks the current active index and the next one to
write, while labels are written to free slots.

After reading valid labels, store the dpa ranges they claim into
per-dimm resource trees.
