Hi Ross
Thanks for the speedy reply. I am also adding the public list to this
thread as you suggested.
We have tried to dump the SPA table and this is what we get:

As you can see the memory region info is missing.
This specific check was done on a supermicro server.
We also performed a bios update but the results were the same.
As said before ,the pmem devices are detected correctly and we verified
that they correspond to different numa nodes using the PCM utility.However,
linux still reports both pmem devices to be on the same numa - Numa 0.
If this information is missing, why pmem devices and address ranges are
still detected correctly?
Is there another table that we need to check?
I also ran dmidecode and the NVDIMMs are being listed (we tested with
netlist NVDIMMs). I can also see the bank locator showing P0 and P1 which I
think indicates the numa. Here is an example:

[PATCH v3 0/2] Support ACPI 6.1 update in NFIT Control Region Structure
by Toshi Kani
ACPI 6.1, Table 5-133, updates NVDIMM Control Region Structure as
follows.
- Valid Fields, Manufacturing Location, and Manufacturing Date
are added from reserved range. No change in the structure size.
- IDs (SPD values) are stored as arrays of bytes (i.e. big-endian
format). The spec clarifies that they need to be represented
as arrays of bytes as well.
Patch 1 changes the NFIT driver to comply with ACPI 6.1.
Patch 2 adds a new sysfs file "id" to show NVDIMM ID defined in ACPI 6.1.
The patch-set applies on linux-pm.git acpica.
link: http://www.uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/ACPI_6_1.pdf
---
v3:
- Need to coordinate with ACPICA update (Bob Moore, Dan Williams)
- Integrate with ACPICA changes in struct acpi_nfit_control_region.
(commit 138a95547ab0)
v2:
- Remove 'mfg_location' and 'mfg_date'. (Dan Williams)
- Rename 'unique_id' to 'id' and make this change as a separate patch.

[PATCH 0/18 v6] dax, ext4, xfs: Synchronous page faults
by Jan Kara
Hello,
here is the sixth version of my patches to implement synchronous page faults
for DAX mappings to make flushing of DAX mappings possible from userspace so
that they can be flushed on finer than page granularity and also avoid the
overhead of a syscall.
I think we are ready to get this merged - I've talked to Dan and he said he
could take the patches through his tree. It would just be nice to get final
ack from Christoph for the first patch implementing MAP_VALIDATE and someone
from XFS folks to check patch 17 (make xfs_filemap_pfn_mkwrite use
__xfs_filemap_fault()).
---
We use a new mmap flag MAP_SYNC to indicate that page faults for the mapping
should be synchronous. The guarantee provided by this flag is: While a block
is writeably mapped into page tables of this mapping, it is guaranteed to be
visible in the file at that offset also after a crash.
How I implement this is that ->iomap_begin() indicates by a flag that inode
block mapping metadata is unstable and may need flushing (use the same test as
whether fdatasync() has metadata to write). If yes, DAX fault handler refrains
from inserting / write-enabling the page table entry and returns special flag
VM_FAULT_NEEDDSYNC together with a PFN to map to the filesystem fault handler.
The handler then calls fdatasync() (vfs_fsync_range()) for the affected range
and after that calls DAX code to update the page table entry appropriately.
I did some basic performance testing on the patches over ramdisk - timed
latency of page faults when faulting 512 pages. I did several tests: with file
preallocated / with file empty, with background file copying going on / without
it, with / without MAP_SYNC (so that we get comparison). The results are
(numbers are in microseconds):
File preallocated, no background load no MAP_SYNC:
min=9 avg=10 max=46
8 - 15 us: 508
16 - 31 us: 3
32 - 63 us: 1
File preallocated, no background load, MAP_SYNC:
min=9 avg=10 max=47
8 - 15 us: 508
16 - 31 us: 2
32 - 63 us: 2
File empty, no background load, no MAP_SYNC:
min=21 avg=22 max=70
16 - 31 us: 506
32 - 63 us: 5
64 - 127 us: 1
File empty, no background load, MAP_SYNC:
min=40 avg=124 max=242
32 - 63 us: 1
64 - 127 us: 333
128 - 255 us: 178
File empty, background load, no MAP_SYNC:
min=21 avg=23 max=67
16 - 31 us: 507
32 - 63 us: 4
64 - 127 us: 1
File empty, background load, MAP_SYNC:
min=94 avg=112 max=181
64 - 127 us: 489
128 - 255 us: 23
So here we can see the difference between MAP_SYNC vs non MAP_SYNC is about
100-200 us when we need to wait for transaction commit in this setup.
Changes since v5:
* really updated the manpage
* improved comment describing IOMAP_F_DIRTY
* fixed XFS handling of VM_FAULT_NEEDSYNC in xfs_filemap_pfn_mkwrite()
Changes since v4:
* fixed couple of minor things in the manpage
* make legacy mmap flags always supported, remove them from mask declared
to be supported by ext4 and xfs
Changes since v3:
* updated some changelogs
* folded fs support for VM_SYNC flag into patches implementing the
functionality
* removed ->mmap_validate, use ->mmap_supported_flags instead
* added some Reviewed-by tags
* added manpage patch
Changes since v2:
* avoid unnecessary flushing of faulted page (Ross) - I've realized it makes no
sense to remeasure my benchmark results (after actually doing that and seeing
no difference, sigh) since I use ramdisk and not real PMEM HW and so flushes
are ignored.
* handle nojournal mode of ext4
* other smaller cleanups & fixes (Ross)
* factor larger part of finishing of synchronous fault into a helper (Christoph)
* reorder pfnp argument of dax_iomap_fault() (Christoph)
* add XFS support from Christoph
* use proper MAP_SYNC support in mmap(2)
* rebased on top of 4.14-rc4
Changes since v1:
* switched to using mmap flag MAP_SYNC
* cleaned up fault handlers to avoid passing pfn in vmf->orig_pte
* switched to not touching page tables before we are ready to insert final
entry as it was unnecessary and not really simplifying anything
* renamed fault flag to VM_FAULT_NEEDDSYNC
* other smaller fixes found by reviewers

I'd like to clarify the interface of "wait on completion
asynchronously" and KVM async page fault a bit more.
Current design of async-page-fault only works on RAM rather
than MMIO, i.e, if the page fault caused by accessing the
device memory of a emulated device, it needs to go to
userspace (QEMU) which emulates the operation in vCPU's
thread.
As i mentioned before the memory region used for vNVDIMM
flush interface should be MMIO and consider its support
on other hypervisors, so we do better push this async
mechanism into the flush interface design itself rather
than depends on kvm async-page-fault.

Hi Mike,

[PATCH 00/15] dax: prep work for fixing dax-dma vs truncate collisions
by Dan Williams
This is hopefully the uncontroversial lead-in set of changes that lay
the groundwork for solving the dax-dma vs truncate problem. The overview
of the changes is:
1/ Disable DAX when we do not have struct page entries backing dax
mappings, or otherwise allow limited DAX support for axonram and
dcssblk. Is anyone actually using the DAX capability of axonram
dcssblk?
2/ Disable code paths that establish potentially long lived DMA
access to a filesystem-dax memory mapping, i.e. RDMA and V4L2. In the
4.16 timeframe the plan is to introduce a "register memory for DMA
with a lease" mechanism for userspace to establish mappings but also
be responsible for tearing down the mapping when the kernel needs to
invalidate the mapping due to truncate or hole-punch.
3/ Add a wakeup mechanism for awaiting for DAX pages to be released
from DMA access.
This overall effort started when Christoph noted during the review of
the MAP_DIRECT proposal:
get_user_pages on DAX doesn't give the same guarantees as on
pagecache or anonymous memory, and that is the problem we need to
fix. In fact I'm pretty sure if we try hard enough (and we might
have to try very hard) we can see the same problem with plain direct
I/O and without any RDMA involved, e.g. do a larger direct I/O write
to memory that is mmap()ed from a DAX file, then truncate the DAX
file and reallocate the blocks, and we might corrupt that new file.
We'll probably need a special setup where there is little other
chance but to reallocate those used blocks.
So what we need to do first is to fix get_user_pages vs unmapping
DAX mmap()ed blocks, be that from a hole punch, truncate, COW
operation, etc.
Included in the changes is a nfit_test mechanism to trivially trigger
this collision by delaying the put_page() that the block layer performs
after performing direct-I/O to a filesystem-DAX page.
Given the ongoing coordination of this set across multiple sub-systems
and the dax core my proposal is to manage this as a branch in the nvdimm
tree with acks from mm, rdma, v4l2, ext4, and xfs.

[RFC PATCH v2 0/7] ndctl: nvdimmd: notify/monitor the feathers of over threshold event
by QI Fuli
Hi, here is my second version of nvdimm daemon, It would be appreciated
if you could check it.
Change log since v1:
- Adding a config file(/etc/nvdimmd/nvdimmd.conf)
- Using struct log_ctx instead of syslog()
- Using log_syslog() to save the notify messages to syslog
- Using log_file() to save the notify messages to special file
- Adding LOG_NOTICE level into log_priority
- Using automake instead of Makefile
- Adding a new util file(nvdimmd/util.c) including helper functions needed
for nvdimm daemon.
- Adding nvdimmd_test program
---
This is a patch set of nvdimmd, a tiny daemon to monitor the features of over
threshold events. When an over thershold event fires, nvdimmd will output the
notification including dimm health status to syslog or a special file to
users' configuration. Users can choose the output format to be structured json
or text.
Here are out put samples.
- json format:
2017/11/10 11:15:03 [28065] log_notify: nvdimm dimm over threshold notify

"alarm_temperature":true,
"alarm_spares":true,
"temperature_threshold":40,
"spares_threshold":5,
"life_used_percentage":5,

}
}
- text format:

TODO list:
- The dimms to monitor should be filtered by namespace and region
- Add more information into the notify message
- Make nvdimmd_test an ndctl command or an option of ndctl inject-error

[RFC PATCH 0/4] Teach EDAC driver about NVDIMMs
by Tony Luck
A Skylake server may have some DIMM slots filled with NVDIMMs
instead of normal DDR4 DIMMs. These are enumerated differently
by the memory controller.
Sadly there isn't an easy way to just peek at some memory controller
register to find the size of these DIMMs, so we have to rely on the
NFIT and SMBIOS tables to get that information.
This series only tackles the topology function of the EDAC
driver. A later series of patches will fix the address translation
parts so that errors in NVDIMMs will be reported correctly.
It's marked "RFC" because it depends on the new ACPCIA version 20171110
which has only just made it to Rafael's tree.
Some of you may only care about some of the parts that touch code you
maintain, but I copied you on all four because you might like to see
the bigger picture.
Tony Luck (4):
acpi, nfit: Add function to look up nvdimm device and provide SMBIOS
handle
firmware: dmi: Add function to look up a handle and return DIMM size
edac: Add new memory type for non-volatile DIMMs
EDAC, skx_edac: Detect non-volatile DIMMs

[fstests PATCH v4 0/4] add test for DAX MAP_SYNC support
by Ross Zwisler
The purpose of this series is to exercise the new MAP_SYNC mmap()
functionality [1]. It adds a test which uses dm-log-writes to try and
replay filesystem metadata operations for a file that is being written via
mmap().
If MAP_SYNC is active the dm-log-writes replay will recreate the file's
block allocations and you'll end up with a test file which is a known
size.
If MAP_SYNC is not active the metadata writes will most likely be lost and
the replay will either fail to create the test file at all or it will may
be smaller. In all of my testing the file simply doesn't exist on the
replay if MAP_SYNC is ommited.
This test relies on a kernel with both the MAP_SYNC mmap() functionality
and the DAX enabling in dm-log-writes. These will both appear in kernel
v4.15-rc1. For ease of testing I've posted a kernel that is v4.14 plus
just those two patch series [2].
This test also relies on xfsprogs having support for MAP_SYNC and for
dm-log-writes. I've posed a tree adding that support [3]. This xfsprogs
series is still under review so if the xfs_io interfaces change this
test will of course need to be updated as well.
Lastly, I've also posted a working version of this series [4].
Changes since v3:
- Enhanced xfs_io with MAP_SYNC and dm-log-writes functionality instead of
creating a one-off test program. (Dave Chinner)
- Improved dm target version checking. (Amir)
- Fixed dm-log-writes replay issue, some general cleanup, broke changes
out into a series.
