commit 4e3f0701f25ab194c5362576b1146a1e6cc6c2e7 upstream.

__add_badblock_range() does not account sector alignment when
it sets 'num_sectors'.  Therefore, an ARS error record range
spanning across two sectors is set to a single sector length,
which leaves the 2nd sector unprotected.

Change __add_badblock_range() to set 'num_sectors' properly.

<title>libnvdimm: clear the internal poison_list when clearing badblocks</title>

nvdimm_clear_poison cleared the user-visible badblocks, and sent
commands to the NVDIMM to clear the areas marked as 'poison', but it
neglected to clear the same areas from the internal poison_list which is
used to marshal ARS results before sorting them by namespace. As a
result, once on-demand ARS functionality was added:

37b137f nfit, libnvdimm: allow an ARS scrub to be triggered on demand

A scrub triggered from either sysfs or an MCE was found to be adding
stale entries that had been cleared from gendisk-&gt;badblocks, but were
still present in nvdimm_bus-&gt;poison_list. Additionally, the stale entries
could be triggered into producing stale disk-&gt;badblocks by simply disabling
and re-enabling the namespace or region.

This adds the missing step of clearing poison_list entries when clearing
poison, so that it is always in sync with badblocks.

Normally, an ARS (Address Range Scrub) only happens at
boot/initialization time. There can however arise situations where a
bus-wide rescan is needed - notably, in the case of discovering a latent
media error, we should do a full rescan to figure out what other sectors
are bad, and thus potentially avoid triggering an mce on them in the
future. Also provide a sysfs trigger to start a bus-wide scrub.

<title>libnvdimm: register nvdimm_bus devices with an nd_bus driver</title>

A recent effort to add a new nvdimm bus provider attribute highlighted a
race between interrogating nvdimm_bus-&gt;nd_desc and nvdimm_bus tear down.
The typical way to handle these races is to take the device_lock() in
the attribute method and validate that the device is still active.  In
order for a device to be 'active' it needs to be associated with a
driver.  So, we create the small boilerplate for a driver and register
nvdimm_bus devices on the 'nvdimm_bus_type' bus.

A result of this change is that ndbusX devices now appear under
/sys/bus/nd/devices.  In fact this makes /sys/class/nd somewhat
redundant, but removing that will need to take a long deprecation period
given its use by ndctl binaries in the field.

This change naturally pulls code from drivers/nvdimm/core.c to
drivers/nvdimm/bus.c, so it is a nice code organization clean-up as
well.

Let the provider module be explicitly passed in rather than implicitly
assumed by the module that calls nvdimm_bus_register().  This is in
preparation for unifying the nfit and nfit_test driver teardown paths.

In preparation for generically mapping flush hint addresses for both the
BLK and PMEM use case, provide a generic / reference counted mapping
api.  Given the fact that a dimm may belong to multiple regions (PMEM
and BLK), the flush hint addresses need to be held valid as long as any
region associated with the dimm is active.  This is similar to the
existing BLK-region case where multiple BLK-regions may share an
aperture mapping.  Up-level this shared / reference-counted mapping
capability from the nfit driver to a core nvdimm capability.

This eliminates the need for the nd_blk_region.disable() callback.  Note
that the removal of nfit_spa_map() and related infrastructure is
deferred to a later patch.
