      cpufreq: scmi: add thermal dependency · 697a3a87
      Arnd Bergmann authored
      A built-in scmi cpufreq driver cannot link against a modular
      thermal framework:
      
      drivers/cpufreq/scmi-cpufreq.o: In function `scmi_cpufreq_ready':
      scmi-cpufreq.c:(.text+0x40): undefined reference to `of_cpufreq_cooling_register'
      drivers/cpufreq/scmi-cpufreq.o: In function `scmi_cpufreq_exit':
      scmi-cpufreq.c:(.text+0x88): undefined reference to `cpufreq_cooling_unregister'
      
      This adds a Kconfig dependency that makes sure this configuration
      is not possible, while allowing all configurations that can work.
      Note that disabling CPU_THERMAL means we don't care about the
      THERMAL dependency.

      Pull "ARM SCMI support for v4.17" from Sudeep Holla:
      
      ARM System Control and Management Interface(SCMI)[1] is more flexible and
      easily extensible than any of the existing interfaces.
      
      Few existing as well as future ARM platforms provide micro-controllers
      to abstract various power and other system management tasks which have
      similar interfaces, both in terms of the functions that are provided by
      them, and in terms of how requests are communicated to them.
      
      There are quite a few protocols like ARM SCPI, TI SCI, QCOM RPM, Nvidia Tegra
      BPMP, and so on already. This specification is to standardize and avoid any
      further fragmentation in the design of such interface by various vendors.
      
      The current SCMI driver implementation is very basic and initial support.
      It lacks support for notifications, asynchronous/delayed response, perf/power
      statistics region and sensor register region.
      
      Mailbox is the only form of transport supported currently in the driver.
      SCMI supports interrupt based mailbox communication, where, on completion
      of the processing of a message, the caller receives an interrupt as well as
      polling for completion.
      
      SCMI is designed to minimize the dependency on the mailbox/transport
      hardware. So in terms of SCMI, each channel in the mailbox includes
      memory area, doorbell and completion interrupt.
      
      However the doorbell and completion interrupt is highly mailbox dependent
      which was bit of controversial as part of SCMI/mailbox discussions.
      
      Arnd and me discussed about the few aspects of SCMI and the mailbox framework:
      
      1. Use of mailbox framework for doorbell type mailbox controller:
         - Such hardware may not require any data to be sent to signal the remote
           about the presence of a message. The channel will have in-built
           information on how to trigger the signal to the remote.
           There are few mailbox controller drivers which are purely doorbell based.
           e.g.QCOM IPC, STM, Tegra, ACPI PCC,..etc
      
      2. Supporting other mailbox controller:
         - SCMI just needs a mechanism to signal the remote firmware. Such
           controller may need fixed message to be sent to trigger a doorbell.
           In such case we may need to get that data from DT and pass the same
           to the controller. It's not covered in the current DT binding, but
           can be extended as optional property in future.
      
           However handling notifications may be interesting on such mailbox, but
           again there is no way to interpret what the data field(remote message)
           means, it could be a bit mask or a number or don't-care.
      
      Arnd mentioned that he doesn't like the way the mailbox binding deals
      with doorbell-type hardware, but we do have quite a few precedent drivers
      already and changing the binding to add a data field would not make it any
      better, but could cause other problems. So he is happy with the status quo
      of SCMI implementation.

           also disabled Device-DAX pins which are not subject to the same
           block- map collision concerns.
      
         - Similar to the setup path, softlockup warnings can trigger in the
           shutdown path for large persistent memory namespaces. Teach
           for_each_device_pfn() to perform cond_resched() in all cases.

      memremap: fix softlockup reports at teardown · 949b9325
      Dan Williams authored
      The cond_resched() currently in the setup path needs to be duplicated in
      the teardown path. Rather than require each instance of
      for_each_device_pfn() to open code the same sequence, embed it in the
      helper.

      libnvdimm: re-enable deep flush for pmem devices via fsync() · 5fdf8e5b
      Dave Jiang authored
      Re-enable deep flush so that users always have a way to be sure that a
      write makes it all the way out to media. Writes from the PMEM driver
      always arrive at the NVDIMM since movnt is used to bypass the cache, and
      the driver relies on the ADR (Asynchronous DRAM Refresh) mechanism to
      flush write buffers on power failure. The Deep Flush mechanism is there
      to explicitly write buffers to protect against (rare) ADR failure.  This
      change prevents a regression in deep flush behavior so that applications
      can continue to depend on fsync() as a mechanism to trigger deep flush
      in the filesystem-DAX case.

      vfio: disable filesystem-dax page pinning · 94db151d
      Dan Williams authored
      Filesystem-DAX is incompatible with 'longterm' page pinning. Without
      page cache indirection a DAX mapping maps filesystem blocks directly.
      This means that the filesystem must not modify a file's block map while
      any page in a mapping is pinned. In order to prevent the situation of
      userspace holding of filesystem operations indefinitely, disallow
      'longterm' Filesystem-DAX mappings.
      
      RDMA has the same conflict and the plan there is to add a 'with lease'
      mechanism to allow the kernel to notify userspace that the mapping is
      being torn down for block-map maintenance. Perhaps something similar can
      be put in place for vfio.
      
      Note that xfs and ext4 still report:
      
         "DAX enabled. Warning: EXPERIMENTAL, use at your own risk"
      
      ...at mount time, and resolving the dax-dma-vs-truncate problem is one
      of the last hurdles to remove that designation.
