[PATCH v2] libnvdimm: Notify disk drivers to revalidate region read-only

From: Dan Williams
Date: Tue Mar 09 2021 - 20:44:27 EST


Previous kernels allowed the BLKROSET to override the disk's read-only
status. With that situation fixed the pmem driver needs to rely on
notification events to reevaluate the disk read-only status after the
host region has been marked read-write.

Recall that when libnvdimm determines that the persistent memory has
lost persistence (for example lack of energy to flush from DRAM to FLASH
on an NVDIMM-N device) it marks the region read-only, but that state can
be overridden by the user via:

echo 0 > /sys/bus/nd/devices/regionX/read_only

...to date there is no notification that the region has restored
persistence, so the user override is the only recovery.

Changes since v1 [1]:
- Move from the sinking ship of revalidate_disk() to the local hotness
of nd_pmem_notify() (hch).
