Subject: [PATCH 0/5] Manual definition of Soft Reserved memory devices
Date: Mon, 02 Mar 2020 14:19:57 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <158318759687.2216124.4684754859068906007.stgit@dwillia2-desk3.amr.corp.intel.com> (raw)

Given the current dearth of systems that supply an ACPI HMAT table, and
the utility of being able to manually define device-dax "hmem" instances
via the efi_fake_mem= option, relax the requirements for creating these
devices. Specifically, add an option (numa=nohmat) to optionally disable
consideration of the HMAT and update efi_fake_mem= to behave like
memmap=nn!ss in terms of delimiting device boundaries.

All review welcome of course, but the E820 changes want an x86
maintainer ack, the efi_fake_mem update needs Ard, and Rafael has
previously shepherded the HMAT changes. For the changes to
kernel/resource.c, where there is no clear maintainer, I just copied the
last few people to make thoughtful changes in that area. I am happy to
take these through the nvdimm tree along with these prerequisites
already in -next:

b2ca916ce392 ACPI: NUMA: Up-level "map to online node" functionality
4fcbe96e4d0b mm/numa: Skip NUMA_NO_NODE and online nodes in numa_map_to_online_node()
575e23b6e13c powerpc/papr_scm: Switch to numa_map_to_online_node()
1e5d8e1e47af x86/mm: Introduce CONFIG_NUMA_KEEP_MEMINFO
5d30f92e7631 x86/NUMA: Provide a range-to-target_node lookup facility
7b27a8622f80 libnvdimm/e820: Retrieve and populate correct 'target_node' info

Tested with:

        numa=nohmat efi_fake_mem=4G@9G:0x40000,4G@13G:0x40000

...to create to device-dax instances:

	# daxctl list -RDu
	[
	  {
	    "path":"\/platform\/hmem.1",
	    "id":1,
	    "size":"4.00 GiB (4.29 GB)",
	    "align":2097152,
	    "devices":[
	      {
	        "chardev":"dax1.0",
	        "size":"4.00 GiB (4.29 GB)",
	        "target_node":3,
	        "mode":"devdax"
	      }
	    ]
	  },
	  {
	    "path":"\/platform\/hmem.0",
	    "id":0,
	    "size":"4.00 GiB (4.29 GB)",
	    "align":2097152,
	    "devices":[
	      {
	        "chardev":"dax0.0",
	        "size":"4.00 GiB (4.29 GB)",
	        "target_node":2,
	        "mode":"devdax"
	      }
	    ]
	  }
	]
