From: Ocean He <hehy1@lenovo.com>
When pmem namespaces created are smaller than section size twice, the second creation would fail and meanwhile there is a kernel call trace which comes from commit 15d36fecd0bdc7510b70 ("mm: disallow mappings that conflict for devm_memremap_pages()"). ------------[ cut here ]------------ nd_pmem pfn1.1: Conflicting mapping in same section WARNING: CPU: 84 PID: 51974 at kernel/memremap.c:194 devm_memremap_pages+0x4a0/0x4e0 CPU: 84 PID: 51974 Comm: ndctl Kdump: loaded Tainted: G W E 4.19.0-rc2-23-default+ #27 RIP: 0010:devm_memremap_pages+0x4a0/0x4e0 Call Trace: pmem_attach_disk+0x3ab/0x581 [nd_pmem] nvdimm_bus_probe+0x69/0x150 [libnvdimm] really_probe+0x262/0x3d0 driver_probe_device+0x60/0x120 bind_store+0x102/0x190 kernfs_fop_write+0x105/0x180 __vfs_write+0x36/0x1a0 ? common_file_perm+0x47/0x130 ? security_file_permission+0x2c/0xb0 vfs_write+0xad/0x1a0 ksys_write+0x52/0xc0 do_syscall_64+0x5b/0x180 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9
Here is an example (section size is 128MB) based on kernel 4.19-rc2. # ndctl create-namespace -r region1 -s 100m -t pmem -m fsdax { "dev":"namespace1.0", "mode":"fsdax", "map":"dev", "size":"96.00 MiB (100.66 MB)", "uuid":"ef9a0556-a610-40b5-8c71-43991765a2cc", "raw_uuid":"177b22e2-b7e8-482f-a063-2b8de876d979", "sector_size":512, "blockdev":"pmem1", "numa_node":1 } # ndctl create-namespace -r region1 -s 100m -t pmem -m fsdax libndctl: ndctl_pfn_enable: pfn1.1: failed to enable Error: namespace1.1: failed to enable failed to create namespace: No such device or address
When above second creation failure occurs, the expectation is to destroy namespace1.0 to create a new namespace which size is aligned with section size. However, both namespace seed and pfn seed have been consumed, the new namespace creation still fails. # ndctl destroy-namespace namespace1.0 -f destroyed 1 namespace # ndctl create-namespace -r region1 -s 128m -t pmem -m fsdax failed to create namespace: Device or resource busy
To ensure pfn_seed/dax_seed and namespace_seed are always ready for next namespace creation, this patch set enables seed detach and reset. Back to the example, the new namespace creation never fails if this patch set applied. # ndctl destroy-namespace namespace1.0 -f destroyed 1 namespace # ndctl create-namespace -r region1 -s 128m -t pmem -m fsdax { "dev":"namespace1.0", "mode":"fsdax", "map":"dev", "size":"124.00 MiB (130.02 MB)", "uuid":"0d0e7506-d108-4a88-824a-edef26fd0399", "raw_uuid":"efeb9647-12f5-44cd-8a52-2f3a0d14589a", "sector_size":512, "blockdev":"pmem1", "numa_node":1 } # ndctl create-namespace -r region1 -s 128m -t pmem -m fsdax { "dev":"namespace1.1", "mode":"fsdax", "map":"dev", "size":130023424, "uuid":"689828dc-8779-434d-8e93-0406d4e1e536", "raw_uuid":"d86e1025-c224-48b6-b2a7-6ccef152d5fd", "sector_size":512, "blockdev":"pmem1.1", "numa_node":1 }
The mode devdax (-m devdax) has the same issue, this patch set could cover it.
Ocean He (3): libnvdimm, claim: remove static attribute of nd_detach_and_reset libnvdimm, namespace_devs: add function nd_region_reset_ns_seed for namespace seed reset libnvdimm, region_devs: reset related seeds when fail to create namespace
