commit c1fb3542074fd0c4d901d778bd52455111e4eb6f upstream.

For the same reason that /proc/iomem returns 0's for non-root readers
and acpi tables are root-only, make the 'resource' attribute for
namespace devices only readable by root. Otherwise we disclose physical
address information.

commit 86ef58a4e35e8fa66afb5898cf6dec6a3bb29f67 upstream.

The interleave-set cookie is a sum that sanity checks the composition of
an interleave set has not changed from when the namespace was initially
created.  The checksum is calculated by sorting the DIMMs by their
location in the interleave-set. The comparison for the sort must be
64-bit wide, not byte-by-byte as performed by memcmp() in the broken
case.

Fix the implementation to accept correct cookie values in addition to
the Linux "memcmp" order cookies, but only allow correct cookies to be
generated going forward. It does mean that namespaces created by
third-party-tooling, or created by newer kernels with this fix, will not
validate on older kernels. However, there are a couple mitigating
conditions:

    1/ platforms with namespace-label capable NVDIMMs are not widely
       available.

    2/ interleave-sets with a single-dimm are by definition not affected
       (nothing to sort). This covers the QEMU-KVM NVDIMM emulation case.

The cookie stored in the namespace label will be fixed by any write the
namespace label, the most straightforward way to achieve this is to
write to the "alt_name" attribute of a namespace in sysfs.

commit 9d032f4201d39e5cf43a8709a047e481f5723fdc upstream.

Given that the naming of pmem devices changes from the pmemX form to the
pmemX.Y form when namespace id is greater than 0, arrange for namespaces
with id-0 to be exempt from deletion. Otherwise a simple reconfiguration
of an existing namespace to a new mode results in a name change of the
resulting block device:

    # ndctl list --namespace=namespace1.0
    {
      "dev":"namespace1.0",
      "mode":"raw",
      "size":2147483648,
      "uuid":"3dadf3dc-89b9-4b24-b20e-abc8a4707ce3",
      "blockdev":"pmem1"
    }

    # ndctl create-namespace --reconfig=namespace1.0 --mode=memory --force
    {
      "dev":"namespace1.1",
      "mode":"memory",
      "size":2111832064,
      "uuid":"7b4a6341-7318-4219-a02c-fb57c0bbf613",
      "blockdev":"pmem1.1"
    }

This change does require tooling changes to explicitly look for
namespaceX.0 if the seed has already advanced to another namespace.

Commit 98a29c39dc68 ("libnvdimm, namespace: allow creation of multiple
pmem-namespaces per region") added support for establishing additional
pmem namespace beyond the seed device, similar to blk namespaces.
However, it neglected to delete the namespace when the size is set to
zero.

Short-circuit doomed-to-fail label validation attempts by skipping
labels that are outside the given region.  For example a DIMM that has
multiple PMEM regions will waste time attempting to create namespaces
only to find that the interleave-set-cookie does not validate, e.g.:

    nd_region region6: invalid cookie in label: 73e608dc-47b9-4b2a-b5c7-2d55a32e0c2

Similar to how we skip BLK labels when performing PMEM validation we can
skip out-of-range labels early.

Now that we have nd_region_available_dpa() able to handle the presence
of multiple PMEM allocations in aliased PMEM regions, reuse that same
infrastructure to track allocations from free space.  In particular
handle allocating from an aliased PMEM region in the case where there
are dis-contiguous holes.  The allocation for BLK and PMEM are
documented in the space_valid() helper:

    BLK-space is valid as long as it does not precede a PMEM
    allocation in a given region. PMEM-space must be contiguous
    and adjacent to an existing existing allocation (if one
    exists).
