<content type='text'>
Now that all of use sites of label data have been converted to nsl_*
helpers, introduce the CXL label format. The -&gt;cxl flag in
nvdimm_drvdata indicates the label format the device expects. A
follow-on patch allows a bus provider to select the label style.

Note that the EFI definition of the labels represents the Linux "claim
class" with a GUID. The CXL definition of the labels stores the same
identifier in UUID byte order.

<content type='text'>
In preparation for LIBNVDIMM to manage labels on CXL devices deploy
helpers that abstract the label type from the implementation. The CXL
label format is mostly similar to the EFI label format with concepts /
fields added, like dynamic region creation and label type guids, and
other concepts removed like BLK-mode and interleave-set-cookie ids.

CXL labels do have the concept of a claim class represented by an
"abstraction" identifier. It turns out both label implementations use
the same ids, but EFI encodes them as GUIDs and CXL labels encode them
as UUIDs. For now abstract out the claim class such that the UUID vs
GUID distinction can later be hidden in the helper.

<title>libnvdimm/label: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1e361632da12ac00cb86c25a857ba251fdf2de95</id>
<content type='text'>
The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:

struct foo {
        int stuff;
        struct boo array[];
};

By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.

Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:

"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]

This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

<content type='text'>
Several places (dimm_devs.c, core.c etc) include label.h but only
label.c uses NSINDEX_SIGNATURE, so move its definition to label.c
instead.

In file included from drivers/nvdimm/dimm_devs.c:23:
drivers/nvdimm/label.h:41:19: warning: 'NSINDEX_SIGNATURE' defined but
not used [-Wunused-const-variable=]

Also, some places abuse "/**" which is only reserved for the kernel-doc.

drivers/nvdimm/bus.c:648: warning: cannot understand function prototype:
'struct attribute_group nd_device_attribute_group = '
drivers/nvdimm/bus.c:677: warning: cannot understand function prototype:
'struct attribute_group nd_numa_attribute_group = '

Those are just some member assignments for the "struct attribute_group"
instances and it can't be expressed in the kernel-doc.

<title>nvdimm: Use namespace index data to reduce number of label reads needed</title>

<content type='text'>
This patch adds logic that is meant to make use of the namespace index data
to reduce the number of reads that are needed to initialize a given
namespace. The general idea is that once we have enough data to validate
the namespace index we do so and then proceed to fetch only those labels
that are not listed as being "free". By doing this I am seeing a total time
reduction from about 4-5 seconds to 2-3 seconds for 24 NVDIMM modules each
with 128K of label config area.
