[PATCH 0/4] Adding support to parse BERT for libnvdimm

[PATCH 0/4] Adding support to parse BERT for libnvdimm

[Dave Jiang]

The following series implements support for parsing of the BERT records
and adding the error memory ranges to nvdimm badblocks in order for the
kernel to avoid prevent the kernel from accessing those areas. And with
the addition of this support, we can surface the nd regions instead of waiting
for ARS to complete. So the ARS handling is reworked to run in the
background and not block nd region registration.

[PATCH 1/4] acpi: add find error record in BERT function

[Dave Jiang]

Adding helper function for searching through BERT records and matching
memory based errors that matches in the given resource range given. A
callback function is passed in from the caller to process the matched
memory records. This is in preparation for adding bad memory ranges
fir nvdimm from the BERT.

[PATCH 2/4] acpi/libnvdimm: search through BERT records and add to nvdimm badblocks

[Dave Jiang]

To avoid hitting bad address in nvdimm from previous boot, we will search
through the BERT records to find the matching address and add them to the
nvdimm_bus badblocks.

[PATCH 3/4] acpi/nfit: removing ARS timeout and change scrubbing to delayed work

[Dave Jiang]

With the introduction of BERT parsing, we have added the poison regions to
badblocks and no longer need to wait until scrubbing ARS to complete
for the bad areas before we surface the regions. Changing acpi_nfit_scrub()
to delayed work. Instead of keep polling with a timeout we will just
schedule to try again at a later time. The timeout will be doubled every
time we hit busy.

[PATCH 3/4] acpi/nfit: removing ARS timeout and change scrubbing to delayed work

[Dave Jiang]

With the introduction of BERT parsing, we have added the poison regions to
badblocks and no longer need to wait until scrubbing ARS to complete
for the bad areas before we surface the regions. Changing acpi_nfit_scrub()
to delayed work. Instead of keep polling with a timeout we will just
schedule to try again at a later time. The timeout will be doubled every
time we hit busy.

Hi Dave,

I agree on the problem, and adding an ability to obtain pmem badblocks
records at boot-time without waiting for a new ARS scan to complete is a
good option for users.

However, I do not think using the BERT table is a good approach.  This
requires FW to report pmem badblocks records with a new interface in
addition to ARS records, which FW already implements for pmem.  ACPI 6.2
defines Start ARS with Flags Bit[1] set to report badblocks record
without starting a new ARS scan.  We set this bit after receiving a 0x81
notification at this point.

Can we use ARS with Flags bit[1] set at boot-time so that both OS and FW
can use the same ARS implementation?

Thanks,
-Toshi

You have a point.

The other benefit I see to this policy is that it hopefully convinces
BIOS implementations to not run ARS at boot and leave it to the OS to
manage it in the background. If the platform has any critical errors
to report, i.e. ones that triggered a system reset, then it should be
able to report them in the flag-bit1 case.

This also lets the implementation be completely self contained to the
nfit driver, and not grow any BERT entanglements that may or may not
be valid for the persistent memory case.
