fs/dax: properly refcount fs dax pages

Currently fs dax pages are considered free when the refcount drops to one
and their refcounts are not increased when mapped via PTEs or decreased
when unmapped. This requires special logic in mm paths to detect that
these pages should not be properly refcounted, and to detect when the
refcount drops to one instead of zero.

On the other hand get_user_pages(), etc. will properly refcount fs dax
pages by taking a reference and dropping it when the page is unpinned.

Tracking this special behaviour requires extra PTE bits (eg. pte_devmap)
and introduces rules that are potentially confusing and specific to FS DAX
pages. To fix this, and to possibly allow removal of the special PTE bits
in future, convert the fs dax page refcounts to be zero based and instead
take a reference on the page each time it is mapped as is currently the
case for normal pages.

This may also allow a future clean-up to remove the pgmap refcounting that
is currently done in mm/gup.c.

fs/dax: ensure all pages are idle prior to filesystem unmount

File systems call dax_break_mapping() prior to reallocating file system
blocks to ensure the page is not undergoing any DMA or other accesses.
Generally this is needed when a file is truncated to ensure that if a
block is reallocated nothing is writing to it. However filesystems
currently don't call this when an FS DAX inode is evicted.

This can cause problems when the file system is unmounted as a page can
continue to be under going DMA or other remote access after unmount. This
means if the file system is remounted any truncate or other operation
which requires the underlying file system block to be freed will not wait
for the remote access to complete. Therefore a busy block may be
reallocated to a new file leading to corruption.

fs/dax: always remove DAX page-cache entries when breaking layouts

Prior to any truncation operations file systems call dax_break_mapping()
to ensure pages in the range are not under going DMA. Later DAX
page-cache entries will be removed by truncate_folio_batch_exceptionals()
in the generic page-cache code.

However this makes it possible for folios to be removed from the
page-cache even though they are still DMA busy if the file-system hasn't
called dax_break_mapping(). It also means they can never be waited on in
future because FS DAX will lose track of them once the page-cache entry
has been deleted.

Instead it is better to delete the FS DAX entry when the file-system calls
dax_break_mapping() as part of it's truncate operation. This ensures only
idle pages can be removed from the FS DAX page-cache and makes it easy to
detect if a file-system hasn't called dax_break_mapping() prior to a
truncate operation.

fs/dax: create a common implementation to break DAX layouts

Prior to freeing a block file systems supporting FS DAX must check that
the associated pages are both unmapped from user-space and not undergoing
DMA or other access from eg. get_user_pages(). This is achieved by
unmapping the file range and scanning the FS DAX page-cache to see if any
pages within the mapping have an elevated refcount.

This is done using two functions - dax_layout_busy_page_range() which
returns a page to wait for the refcount to become idle on. Rather than
open-code this introduce a common implementation to both unmap and wait
for the page to become idle.

dax: add empty static inline for CONFIG_DAX=n

Patch series "Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to fix DAX regression",
v6.

This commit introduced in v4.0 prevents building FS_DAX on 32-bit ARM,
even on ARMv7 which does not have virtually aliased data caches:

commit d92576f1167c ("dax: does not work correctly with virtual aliasing caches")

Even though it used to work fine before.

The root of the issue here is the fact that DAX was never designed to
handle virtually aliasing data caches (VIVT and VIPT with aliasing data
cache). It touches the pages through their linear mapping, which is not
consistent with the userspace mappings with virtually aliasing data
caches.

This patch series introduces cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() with the new
Kconfig option ARCH_HAS_CPU_CACHE_ALIASING and implements it for all
architectures. The implementation of cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() is either
evaluated to a constant at compile-time or a runtime check, which is
what is needed on ARM.

With this we can basically narrow down the list of architectures which
are unsupported by DAX to those which are really affected.


This patch (of 9):

When building a kernel with CONFIG_DAX=n, all uses of set_dax_nocache()
and set_dax_nomc() need to be either within regions of code or compile
units which are explicitly not compiled, or they need to rely on compiler
optimizations to eliminate calls to those undefined symbols.

It appears that at least the openrisc and loongarch architectures don't
end up eliminating those undefined symbols even if they are provably
within code which is eliminated due to conditional branches depending on
constants.

Implement empty static inline functions for set_dax_nocache() and
set_dax_nomc() in CONFIG_DAX=n to ensure those undefined references are
removed.

dax: enable dax fault handler to report VM_FAULT_HWPOISON

When multiple processes mmap() a dax file, then at some point,
a process issues a 'load' and consumes a hwpoison, the process
receives a SIGBUS with si_code = BUS_MCEERR_AR and with si_lsb
set for the poison scope. Soon after, any other process issues
a 'load' to the poisoned page (that is unmapped from the kernel
side by memory_failure), it receives a SIGBUS with
si_code = BUS_ADRERR and without valid si_lsb.

This is confusing to user, and is different from page fault due
to poison in RAM memory, also some helpful information is lost.

Channel dax backend driver's poison detection to the filesystem
such that instead of reporting VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, it could report
VM_FAULT_HWPOISON.

If user level block IO syscalls fail due to poison, the errno will
be converted to EIO to maintain block API consistency.

registration of "hmem" devices to dax_hmem.ko.

Previously the builtin component of this enabling
(drivers/dax/hmem/device.o) would register platform devices for each
address range and trigger the dax_hmem.ko module to load and attach
device-dax instances to those devices. Now, the ranges are collected
from the HMAT and EFI memory map walking, but the device creation is
deferred. A new "hmem_platform" device is created which triggers
dax_hmem.ko to load and register the platform devices.

dax: introduce holder for dax_device

Patch series "v14 fsdax-rmap + v11 fsdax-reflink", v2.

The patchset fsdax-rmap is aimed to support shared pages tracking for
fsdax.

It moves owner tracking from dax_assocaite_entry() to pmem device driver,
by introducing an interface ->memory_failure() for struct pagemap. This
interface is called by memory_failure() in mm, and implemented by pmem
device.

Then call holder operations to find the filesystem which the corrupted
data located in, and call filesystem handler to track files or metadata
associated with this page.

Finally we are able to try to fix the corrupted data in filesystem and do
other necessary processing, such as killing processes who are using the
files affected.

The call trace is like this:
memory_failure()
|* fsdax case
|------------
|pgmap->ops->memory_failure() => pmem_pgmap_memory_failure()
| dax_holder_notify_failure() =>
| dax_device->holder_ops->notify_failure() =>
| - xfs_dax_notify_failure()
| |* xfs_dax_notify_failure()
| |--------------------------
| | xfs_rmap_query_range()
| | xfs_dax_failure_fn()
| | * corrupted on metadata
| | try to recover data, call xfs_force_shutdown()
| | * corrupted on file data
| | try to recover data, call mf_dax_kill_procs()
|* normal case
|-------------
|mf_generic_kill_procs()


The patchset fsdax-reflink attempts to add CoW support for fsdax, and
takes XFS, which has both reflink and fsdax features, as an example.

One of the key mechanisms needed to be implemented in fsdax is CoW. Copy
the data from srcmap before we actually write data to the destination
iomap. And we just copy range in which data won't be changed.

Another mechanism is range comparison. In page cache case, readpage() is
used to load data on disk to page cache in order to be able to compare
data. In fsdax case, readpage() does not work. So, we need another
compare data with direct access support.

With the two mechanisms implemented in fsdax, we are able to make reflink
and fsdax work together in XFS.


This patch (of 14):

To easily track filesystem from a pmem device, we introduce a holder for
dax_device structure, and also its operation. This holder is used to
remember who is using this dax_device:

- When it is the backend of a filesystem, the holder will be the
instance of this filesystem.
- When this pmem device is one of the targets in a mapped device, the
holder will be this mapped device. In this case, the mapped device
has its own dax_device and it will follow the first rule. So that we
can finally track to the filesystem we needed.

The holder and holder_ops will be set when filesystem is being mounted,
or an target device is being activated.

Introduce dax_recovery_write() operation. The function is used to

a user process receives a SIGBUS with si_code BUS_MCEERR_AR
indicating poison(s) in a dax range, in response, the user process
issues a pwrite() to the page-aligned dax range, thus clears the
poison and puts valid data in the range.
