Remove the unnecessary encoding of page order into an enum and pass the
page order directly.  That lets us get rid of pe_order().

The switch constructs have to be changed to if/else constructs to prevent
GCC from warning on builds with 3-level page tables where PMD_ORDER and
PUD_ORDER have the same value.

If you are looking at this commit because your driver stopped compiling,
look at the previous commit as well and audit your driver to be sure it
doesn't depend on mmap_lock being held in its -&gt;huge_fault method.

It appears that destroy_memory_type() isn't a very good name because we
usually will not free the memory_type here.  So rename it to a more
appropriate name i.e.  put_memory_type().

<title>dax: enable dax fault handler to report VM_FAULT_HWPOISON</title>

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.

<title>dax/kmem: Pass valid argument to memory_group_register_static</title>

memory_group_register_static takes maximum number of pages as the argument
while dev_dax_kmem_probe passes total_len (in bytes) as the argument.

IIUC, I don't see any crash/panic impact as such. As,
memory_group_register_static just set the max_pages limit which is used in
auto_movable_zone_for_pfn to determine the zone.

which might cause these condition to behave differently,

This will be true always so jump will happen to kernel_zone
    ...
    if (!auto_movable_can_online_movable(NUMA_NO_NODE, group, nr_pages))
        goto kernel_zone;

    ...
    kernel_zone:
        return default_kernel_zone_for_pfn(nid, pfn, nr_pages);

Here, In below, zone_intersects compare range will be larger as nr_pages
will be higher (derived from total_len passed in dev_dax_kmem_probe).

    ...
    static struct zone *default_kernel_zone_for_pfn(int nid, unsigned long start_pfn,
    		unsigned long nr_pages)
    {
    	struct pglist_data *pgdat = NODE_DATA(nid);
    	int zid;

    	for (zid = 0; zid &lt; ZONE_NORMAL; zid++) {
    		struct zone *zone = &amp;pgdat-&gt;node_zones[zid];

    		if (zone_intersects(zone, start_pfn, nr_pages))
    			return zone;
    	}

    	return &amp;pgdat-&gt;node_zones[ZONE_NORMAL];
    }

Incorrect zone will be returned here, which in later time might cause bigger
problem.

<title>dax: Introduce alloc_dev_dax_id()</title>

<content type='text'>
The reference counting of dax_region objects is needlessly complicated,
has lead to confusion [1], and has hidden a bug [2]. Towards cleaning up
that mess introduce alloc_dev_dax_id() to minimize the holding of a
dax_region reference to only what dev_dax_release() needs, the
dax_region-&gt;ida.

Part of the reason for the mess was the design to dereference a
dax_region in all cases in free_dev_dax_id() even if the id was
statically assigned by the upper level dax_region driver. Remove the
need to call "is_static(dax_region)" by tracking whether the id is
dynamic directly in the dev_dax instance itself.

With that flag the dax_region pinning and release per dev_dax instance
can move to alloc_dev_dax_id() and free_dev_dax_id() respectively.

A follow-on cleanup address the unnecessary references in the dax_region
setup and drivers.

  kobject_delayed_cleanup+0x46/0x150

Due to attempting ida_free() on an ida object that has already been
freed. Devices typically only hold a reference on their parent while
registered. If a child needs a parent object to complete its release it
needs to hold a reference that it drops from its release callback.
Arrange for a dax_mapping to pin its parent dev_dax instance until
dax_mapping_release().

dev_dax_probe declaration for this function was removed with the only
caller outside of device.c. Mark it static to avoid a W=1
warning:
drivers/dax/device.c:399:5: error: no previous prototype for 'dev_dax_probe'

Similarly, run_dax() causes a warning, but this one is because the
declaration needs to be included:

Pull Compute Express Link (CXL) updates from Dan Williams:
 "To date Linux has been dependent on platform-firmware to map CXL RAM
  regions and handle events / errors from devices. With this update we
  can now parse / update the CXL memory layout, and report events /
  errors from devices. This is a precursor for the CXL subsystem to
  handle the end-to-end "RAS" flow for CXL memory. i.e. the flow that
  for DDR-attached-DRAM is handled by the EDAC driver where it maps
  system physical address events to a field-replaceable-unit (FRU /
  endpoint device). In general, CXL has the potential to standardize
  what has historically been a pile of memory-controller-specific error
  handling logic.

  Another change of note is the default policy for handling RAM-backed
  device-dax instances. Previously the default access mode was "device",
  mmap(2) a device special file to access memory. The new default is
  "kmem" where the address range is assigned to the core-mm via
  add_memory_driver_managed(). This saves typical users from wondering
  why their platform memory is not visible via free(1) and stuck behind
  a device-file. At the same time it allows expert users to deploy
  policy to, for example, get dedicated access to high performance
  memory, or hide low performance memory from general purpose kernel
  allocations. This affects not only CXL, but also systems with
  high-bandwidth-memory that platform-firmware tags with the
  EFI_MEMORY_SP (special purpose) designation.

  Summary:

   - CXL RAM region enumeration: instantiate 'struct cxl_region' objects
     for platform firmware created memory regions

   - CXL RAM region provisioning: complement the existing PMEM region
     creation support with RAM region support

   - "Soft Reservation" policy change: Online (memory hot-add)
     soft-reserved memory (EFI_MEMORY_SP) by default, but still allow
     for setting aside such memory for dedicated access via device-dax.

   - CXL Events and Interrupts: Takeover CXL event handling from
     platform-firmware (ACPI calls this CXL Memory Error Reporting) and
     export CXL Events via Linux Trace Events.

   - Convey CXL _OSC results to drivers: Similar to PCI, let the CXL
     subsystem interrogate the result of CXL _OSC negotiation.

   - Emulate CXL DVSEC Range Registers as "decoders": Allow for
     first-generation devices that pre-date the definition of the CXL
     HDM Decoder Capability to translate the CXL DVSEC Range Registers
     into 'struct cxl_decoder' objects.

   - Set timestamp: Per spec, set the device timestamp in case of
     hotplug, or if platform-firwmare failed to set it.

   - General fixups: linux-next build issues, non-urgent fixes for
     pre-production hardware, unit test fixes, spelling and debug
     message improvements"
