[PATCH V7 16/18] dax: Stray access protection for dax_direct_access()

From: ira . weiny
Date: Wed Aug 04 2021 - 00:33:45 EST


From: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@xxxxxxxxx>

dax_direct_access() provides a way to obtain the direct map address of
PMEM memory. Coordinate PKS protection with dax_direct_access() of
protected devmap pages.

Introduce 3 new calls dax_{protected,mk_readwrite,mk_noaccess}()
These 3 calls do not have to be implemented by the dax provider if no
protection is implemented.

Single threads of execution can use dax_mk_{readwrite,noaccess}() to
relax the protection of the dax device and allow direct use of the kaddr
returned from dax_direct_access(). dax_mk_{readwrite,noaccess}() must
be used within the dax_read_[un]lock() protected region. And they only
need to be used to guard actual access to the memory pointed to. Other
uses of dax_direct_access() do not need to use these guards.

For users who require a permanent address to the dax device such as the
DM write cache. dax_protected() indicates that the dax device has
additional protections. In this case the user choses to create it's own
mapping of the memory.

Changes for V7
Rework cover letter.
Do not include a FS_DAX_LIMITED restriction for dcss. It will
simply not implement the protection and there is no need
to special case this.
Clean up commit message because I did not originally
understand the nuance of the s390 device.
Introduce dax_{protected,mk_readwrite,mk_noaccess}()
From Dan Williams
Remove old clean up cruft from previous versions
Remove map_protected
Remove 'global' parameters all calls
