<content type='text'>
The continual trickle of small conversion patches is grating on me, and
is really not helping.  Just get rid of the 'remove_new' member
function, which is just an alias for the plain 'remove', and had a
comment to that effect:

  /*
   * .remove_new() is a relic from a prototype conversion of .remove().
   * New drivers are supposed to implement .remove(). Once all drivers are
   * converted to not use .remove_new any more, it will be dropped.
   */

This was just a tree-wide 'sed' script that replaced '.remove_new' with
'.remove', with some care taken to turn a subsequent tab into two tabs
to make things line up.

I did do some minimal manual whitespace adjustment for places that used
spaces to line things up.

Then I just removed the old (sic) .remove_new member function, and this
is the end result.  No more unnecessary conversion noise.

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of driver core changes for 6.11-rc1.

  Lots of stuff in here, with not a huge diffstat, but apis are evolving
  which required lots of files to be touched. Highlights of the changes
  in here are:

   - platform remove callback api final fixups (Uwe took many releases
     to get here, finally!)

   - Rust bindings for basic firmware apis and initial driver-core
     interactions.

     It's not all that useful for a "write a whole driver in rust" type
     of thing, but the firmware bindings do help out the phy rust
     drivers, and the driver core bindings give a solid base on which
     others can start their work.

     There is still a long way to go here before we have a multitude of
     rust drivers being added, but it's a great first step.

   - driver core const api changes.

     This reached across all bus types, and there are some fix-ups for
     some not-common bus types that linux-next and 0-day testing shook
     out.

     This work is being done to help make the rust bindings more safe,
     as well as the C code, moving toward the end-goal of allowing us to
     put driver structures into read-only memory. We aren't there yet,
     but are getting closer.

   - minor devres cleanups and fixes found by code inspection

   - arch_topology minor changes

   - other minor driver core cleanups

  All of these have been in linux-next for a very long time with no
  reported problems"

<title>nvdimm/e820: Convert to platform remove callback returning void</title>

<content type='text'>
The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes
many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by
returning an error code. However the value returned is ignored (apart
from emitting a warning) and this typically results in resource leaks.

To improve here there is a quest to make the remove callback return
void. In the first step of this quest all drivers are converted to
.remove_new(), which already returns void. Eventually after all drivers
are converted, .remove_new() will be renamed to .remove().

Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove
callback to the void returning variant.

Use the new phys_to_target_node() and numa_map_to_online_node() helpers
to retrieve the correct id for the 'numa_node' ("local" / online
initiator node) and 'target_node' (offline target memory node) sysfs
attributes.

Below is an example from a 4 NUMA node system where all the memory on
node2 is pmem / reserved. It should be noted that with the arrival of
the ACPI HMAT table and EFI Specific Purpose Memory the kernel will
start to see more platforms with reserved / performance differentiated
memory in its own NUMA node. Hence all the stakeholders on the Cc for
what is ostensibly a libnvdimm local patch.

<title>acpi/nfit, device-dax: Identify differentiated memory with a unique numa-node</title>

<id>urn:sha1:8fc5c73554db0ac18c0c6ac5b2099ab917f83bdf</id>
<content type='text'>
Persistent memory, as described by the ACPI NFIT (NVDIMM Firmware
Interface Table), is the first known instance of a memory range
described by a unique "target" proximity domain. Where "initiator" and
"target" proximity domains is an approach that the ACPI HMAT
(Heterogeneous Memory Attributes Table) uses to described the unique
performance properties of a memory range relative to a given initiator
(e.g. CPU or DMA device).

Currently the numa-node for a /dev/pmemX block-device or /dev/daxX.Y
char-device follows the traditional notion of 'numa-node' where the
attribute conveys the closest online numa-node. That numa-node attribute
is useful for cpu-binding and memory-binding processes *near* the
device. However, when the memory range backing a 'pmem', or 'dax' device
is onlined (memory hot-add) the memory-only-numa-node representing that
address needs to be differentiated from the set of online nodes. In
other words, the numa-node association of the device depends on whether
you can bind processes *near* the cpu-numa-node in the offline
device-case, or bind process *on* the memory-range directly after the
backing address range is onlined.

Allow for the case that platform firmware describes persistent memory
with a unique proximity domain, i.e. when it is distinct from the
proximity of DRAM and CPUs that are on the same socket. Plumb the Linux
numa-node translation of that proximity through the libnvdimm region
device to namespaces that are in device-dax mode. With this in place the
proposed kmem driver [1] can optionally discover a unique numa-node
number for the address range as it transitions the memory from an
offline state managed by a device-driver to an online memory range
managed by the core-mm.
