[PATCH v6 0/9] Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to fix DAX regression

[PATCH v6 0/9] Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to fix DAX regression

[Mathieu Desnoyers]

This commit introduced in v4.0 prevents building FS_DAX on 32-bit ARM,
even on ARMv7 which does not have virtually aliased data caches:

commit d92576f1167c ("dax: does not work correctly with virtual aliasing caches")

Even though it used to work fine before.

The root of the issue here is the fact that DAX was never designed to
handle virtually aliasing data caches (VIVT and VIPT with aliasing data
cache). It touches the pages through their linear mapping, which is not
consistent with the userspace mappings with virtually aliasing data
caches.

This patch series introduces cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() with the new
Kconfig option ARCH_HAS_CPU_CACHE_ALIASING and implements it for all
architectures. The implementation of cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() is either
evaluated to a constant at compile-time or a runtime check, which is
what is needed on ARM.

With this we can basically narrow down the list of architectures which
are unsupported by DAX to those which are really affected.

Testing done so far:

- Compile allyesconfig on x86-64,
- Compile allyesconfig on x86-64, with FS_DAX=n.
- Compile allyesconfig on x86-64, with DAX=n.
- Boot test after modifying alloc_dax() to force returning -EOPNOTSUPP
  even on x86-64, thus simulating the behavior expected on an
  architecture with data cache aliasing.

There are many more axes to test however. I would welcome Tested-by for:

- affected architectures,
- affected drivers,
- affected filesytems.

[ Based on commit "nvdimm/pmem: Fix leak on dax_add_host() failure". ]

Thanks,

Mathieu

Changes since v5:
- Add empty static inline set_dax_nocache() and set_dax_nomc() for
  CONFIG_DAX=n.
- Update "Fixes" tag for "dax: alloc_dax() return ERR_PTR(-EOPNOTSUPP)
  for CONFIG_DAX=n".
- Check IS_ERR_OR_NULL() before calling virtio_fs_cleanup_dax()
  within virtio_fs_setup_dax().

Changes since v4:
- Move the change which makes alloc_dax() return ERR_PTR(-EOPNOTSUPP)
  when CONFIG_DAX=n earlier in the series,
- Fold driver cleanup patches into their respective per-driver changes.
- Move "nvdimm/pmem: Fix leak on dax_add_host() failure" outside of this
  series.

Changes since v3:
- Fix a leak on dax_add_host() failure in nvdimm/pmem.
- Split the series into a bissectable sequence of changes.
- Ensure that device-dax use-cases still works on data cache
  aliasing architectures.

Changes since v2:
- Move DAX supported runtime check to alloc_dax(),
- Modify DM to handle alloc_dax() error as non-fatal,
- Remove all filesystem modifications, since the check is now done by
  alloc_dax(),
- rename "dcache" and "cache" to "cpu dcache" and "cpu cache" to
  eliminate confusion with VFS terminology.

Changes since v1:
- The order of the series was completely changed based on the
  feedback received on v1,
- cache_is_aliasing() is renamed to dcache_is_aliasing(),
- ARCH_HAS_CACHE_ALIASING_DYNAMIC is gone,
- dcache_is_aliasing() vs ARCH_HAS_CACHE_ALIASING relationship is
  simplified,
- the dax_is_supported() check was moved to its rightful place in all
  filesystems.

[PATCH v6 1/9] dax: add empty static inline for CONFIG_DAX=n

[Mathieu Desnoyers]

When building a kernel with CONFIG_DAX=n, all uses of set_dax_nocache()
and set_dax_nomc() need to be either within regions of code or compile
units which are explicitly not compiled, or they need to rely on compiler
optimizations to eliminate calls to those undefined symbols.

It appears that at least the openrisc and loongarch architectures don't
end up eliminating those undefined symbols even if they are provably
within code which is eliminated due to conditional branches depending on
constants.

Implement empty static inline functions for set_dax_nocache() and
set_dax_nomc() in CONFIG_DAX=n to ensure those undefined references are
removed.

[PATCH v6 2/9] dax: alloc_dax() return ERR_PTR(-EOPNOTSUPP) for CONFIG_DAX=n

[Mathieu Desnoyers]

Change the return value from NULL to PTR_ERR(-EOPNOTSUPP) for
CONFIG_DAX=n to be consistent with the fact that CONFIG_DAX=y
never returns NULL.

This is done in preparation for using cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() in a
following change which will properly support architectures which detect
data cache aliasing at runtime.

[PATCH v6 5/9] dcssblk: Handle alloc_dax() -EOPNOTSUPP failure

[Mathieu Desnoyers]

In preparation for checking whether the architecture has data cache
aliasing within alloc_dax(), modify the error handling of dcssblk
dcssblk_add_store() to handle alloc_dax() -EOPNOTSUPP failures.

Considering that s390 is not a data cache aliasing architecture,
and considering that DCSSBLK selects DAX, a return value of -EOPNOTSUPP
from alloc_dax() should make dcssblk_add_store() fail.

[PATCH v6 6/9] virtio: Treat alloc_dax() -EOPNOTSUPP failure as non-fatal

[Mathieu Desnoyers]

In preparation for checking whether the architecture has data cache
aliasing within alloc_dax(), modify the error handling of virtio
virtio_fs_setup_dax() to treat alloc_dax() -EOPNOTSUPP failure as
non-fatal.

[PATCH v6 7/9] dax: Check for data cache aliasing at runtime

[Mathieu Desnoyers]

Replace the following fs/Kconfig:FS_DAX dependency:

  depends on !(ARM || MIPS || SPARC)

By a runtime check within alloc_dax(). This runtime check returns
ERR_PTR(-EOPNOTSUPP) if the @ops parameter is non-NULL (which means
the kernel is using an aliased mapping) on an architecture which
has data cache aliasing.

Change the return value from NULL to PTR_ERR(-EOPNOTSUPP) for
CONFIG_DAX=n for consistency.

This is done in preparation for using cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() in a
following change which will properly support architectures which detect
data cache aliasing at runtime.

[PATCH v6 8/9] Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() across all architectures

[Mathieu Desnoyers]

Introduce a generic way to query whether the data cache is virtually
aliased on all architectures. Its purpose is to ensure that subsystems
which are incompatible with virtually aliased data caches (e.g. FS_DAX)
can reliably query this.

For data cache aliasing, there are three scenarios dependending on the
architecture. Here is a breakdown based on my understanding:

A) The data cache is always aliasing:

* arc
* csky
* m68k (note: shared memory mappings are incoherent ? SHMLBA is missing there.)
* sh
* parisc

B) The data cache aliasing is statically known or depends on querying CPU
   state at runtime:

* arm (cache_is_vivt() || cache_is_vipt_aliasing())
* mips (cpu_has_dc_aliases)
* nios2 (NIOS2_DCACHE_SIZE > PAGE_SIZE)
* sparc32 (vac_cache_size > PAGE_SIZE)
* sparc64 (L1DCACHE_SIZE > PAGE_SIZE)
* xtensa (DCACHE_WAY_SIZE > PAGE_SIZE)

C) The data cache is never aliasing:

* alpha
* arm64 (aarch64)
* hexagon
* loongarch (but with incoherent write buffers, which are disabled since
             commit d23b7795 ("LoongArch: Change SHMLBA from SZ_64K to PAGE_SIZE"))
* microblaze
* openrisc
* powerpc
* riscv
* s390
* um
* x86

Require architectures in A) and B) to select ARCH_HAS_CPU_CACHE_ALIASING and
implement "cpu_dcache_is_aliasing()".

Architectures in C) don't select ARCH_HAS_CPU_CACHE_ALIASING, and thus
cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() simply evaluates to "false".

Note that this leaves "cpu_icache_is_aliasing()" to be implemented as future
work. This would be useful to gate features like XIP on architectures
which have aliasing CPU dcache-icache but not CPU dcache-dcache.

Use "cpu_dcache" and "cpu_cache" rather than just "dcache" and "cache"
to clarify that we really mean "CPU data cache" and "CPU cache" to
eliminate any possible confusion with VFS "dentry cache" and "page
cache".

[PATCH v6 9/9] dax: Fix incorrect list of data cache aliasing architectures

[Mathieu Desnoyers]

commit d92576f1167c ("dax: does not work correctly with virtual aliasing caches")
prevents DAX from building on architectures with virtually aliased
dcache with:

  depends on !(ARM || MIPS || SPARC)

This check is too broad (e.g. recent ARMv7 don't have virtually aliased
dcaches), and also misses many other architectures with virtually
aliased data cache.

This is a regression introduced in the v4.0 Linux kernel where the
dax mount option is removed for 32-bit ARMv7 boards which have no data
cache aliasing, and therefore should work fine with FS_DAX.

This was turned into the following check in alloc_dax() by a preparatory
change:

        if (ops && (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARM) ||
            IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_MIPS) ||
            IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SPARC)))
                return NULL;

Use cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() instead to figure out whether the environment
has aliasing data caches.
