      nd_blk: change aperture mapping from WC to WB · 67a3e8fe
      Ross Zwisler authored
      This should result in a pretty sizeable performance gain for reads.  For
      rough comparison I did some simple read testing using PMEM to compare
      reads of write combining (WC) mappings vs write-back (WB).  This was
      done on a random lab machine.
      
      PMEM reads from a write combining mapping:
      	# dd of=/dev/null if=/dev/pmem0 bs=4096 count=100000
      	100000+0 records in
      	100000+0 records out
      	409600000 bytes (410 MB) copied, 9.2855 s, 44.1 MB/s
      
      PMEM reads from a write-back mapping:
      	# dd of=/dev/null if=/dev/pmem0 bs=4096 count=1000000
      	1000000+0 records in
      	1000000+0 records out
      	4096000000 bytes (4.1 GB) copied, 3.44034 s, 1.2 GB/s
      
      To be able to safely support a write-back aperture I needed to add
      support for the "read flush" _DSM flag, as outlined in the DSM spec:
      
      http://pmem.io/documents/NVDIMM_DSM_Interface_Example.pdf
      
      This flag tells the ND BLK driver that it needs to flush the cache lines
      associated with the aperture after the aperture is moved but before any
      new data is read.  This ensures that any stale cache lines from the
      previous contents of the aperture will be discarded from the processor
      cache, and the new data will be read properly from the DIMM.  We know
      that the cache lines are clean and will be discarded without any
      writeback because either a) the previous aperture operation was a read,
      and we never modified the contents of the aperture, or b) the previous
      aperture operation was a write and we must have written back the dirtied
      contents of the aperture to the DIMM before the I/O was completed.
      
      In order to add support for the "read flush" flag I needed to add a
      generic routine to invalidate cache lines, mmio_flush_range().  This is
      protected by the ARCH_HAS_MMIO_FLUSH Kconfig variable, and is currently
      only supported on x86.

      cleanup IORESOURCE_CACHEABLE vs ioremap() · 92b19ff5
      Dan Williams authored
      Quoting Arnd:
          I was thinking the opposite approach and basically removing all uses
          of IORESOURCE_CACHEABLE from the kernel. There are only a handful of
          them.and we can probably replace them all with hardcoded
          ioremap_cached() calls in the cases they are actually useful.
      
      All existing usages of IORESOURCE_CACHEABLE call ioremap() instead of
      ioremap_nocache() if the resource is cacheable, however ioremap() is
      uncached by default. Clearly none of the existing usages care about the
      cacheability. Particularly devm_ioremap_resource() never worked as
      advertised since it always fell back to plain ioremap().
      
      Clean this up as the new direction we want is to convert
      ioremap_<type>() usages to memremap(..., flags).

      mm: enhance region_is_ram() to region_intersects() · 124fe20d
      Dan Williams authored
      region_is_ram() is used to prevent the establishment of aliased mappings
      to physical "System RAM" with incompatible cache settings.  However, it
      uses "-1" to indicate both "unknown" memory ranges (ranges not described
      by platform firmware) and "mixed" ranges (where the parameters describe
      a range that partially overlaps "System RAM").
      
      Fix this up by explicitly tracking the "unknown" vs "mixed" resource
      cases and returning REGION_INTERSECTS, REGION_MIXED, or REGION_DISJOINT.
      This re-write also adds support for detecting when the requested region
      completely eclipses all of a resource.  Note, the implementation treats
      overlaps between "unknown" and the requested memory type as
      REGION_INTERSECTS.
      
      Finally, other memory types can be passed in by name, for now the only
      usage "System RAM".

      Toshi explains:
      
      "No, the default values need to be set to the fallback types,
       i.e. minimal supported mode.  For WC and WT, UC is the fallback type.
      
       When PAT is disabled, pat_init() does update the tables below to
       enable WT per the default BIOS setup.  However, when PAT is enabled,
       but CPU has PAT -errata, WT falls back to UC per the default values."

      The CQM task events are not safe to be called from within interrupt
      context because they require performing an IPI to read the counter value
      on all sockets. And performing IPIs from within IRQ context is a
      "no-no".
      
      Make do with the last read counter value currently event in
      event->count when we're invoked in this context.

      Pull libata fixes from Tejun Heo:
       "A couple important fixes.
      
         - A block layer change which removed restriction on max transfer size
           led to silent data corruption on some devices.  A new quirk is
           added to restore the old size limit for the reported device.  If it
           gets reported on more devices, we might have to consider restoring
           the restriction for ATA devices by default.
      
         - There finally is a SSD which is confirmed to cause data corruption
           on TRIM regardless of which flavor is used.  A new quirk is added
           and the device is blacklisted
      
         - Other device-specific workarounds"
