Changes in v3: - Add a missing sysfs_put (Dan) - Improve readability in an expression, making it (!x || !y) instead of !(x && y) (Dan) - Only show the 'scrub' attribute if ARS is supported (Linda) - For scrub_show(), indicate if a scrub is in progress (Dan) - Rebase to nvdimm-for-next + 2 patches from Dan to handle resource leaks with nfit_test - Remove an unnecessary mutex lock/unlock in nfit_exit in Patch 3 Changes in v2: - Rework the ars_done flag in nfit_spa to be ars_required, and reuse it for rescanning (Dan) - Rename the ars_rescan attribute to simply 'scrub', and move into the nfit group since only nfit buses have this capability (Dan) - Make the scrub attribute RW, and on reads return the number of times a scrub has happened since driver load. This prompted some additional refactoring, notably the new helpers acpi_nfit_desc_alloc_register, and to_nvdimm_bus_dev. These are all in patch 2. (Dan) - Remove some redundant list_empty checks in patch 3 (Dan) - If the acpi_descs lists is not empty at driver unload time, WARN() (Dan) This series adds on-demand ARS scanning on both, discovery of latent media errors, and a sysfs trigger from userspace. The rescanning part is easy to test using the nfit_test framework - create a namespace (this will by default have bad sectors in the middle), clear the bad sectors by writing to them, trigger the rescan through sysfs, and the bad sectors will reappear in /sys/block/<pmemX>/badblocks. For the mce handling, I've tested the notifier chain callback being called with a mock struct mce (called via another sysfs trigger - this isn't included in the patch obviously), which has the address field set to a known address in a SPA range, and the status field with the MCACOD flag set. What I haven't easily been able to test is the same callback path with a 'real world' mce, being called as part of the x86_mce_decoder_chain notifier. I'd therefore appreciate a closer look at the initial filtering done in nfit_handle_mce (patch 3/3) from Tony or anyone more familiar with mce handling.
