Subject: [PATCH v1 0/4] device-dax: Further improvements to subdivision
Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2020 18:29:09 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200716172913.19658-1-joao.m.martins@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <159457116473.754248.7879464730875147365.stgit@dwillia2-desk3.amr.corp.intel.com>

Hey,

Here's a small set of improvements that I was hoping you would consider as part
of your Soft-Reserved series[0]; should you think they make sense. It does the
following:

  Patch 1-2: Add an align sysfs attribute, as opposed to being limited to 2M.
  This brings parity to static dax regions, which support 1G.

  Patch 3. Add a module parameter to hmem, to initialize the region as idle
  with full available_size for child devices. When the region is gonna be
  partiotined by default and assigned to guests, doesn't help to
  initialize the region. Also if the majority of the region starts
  non-idle and it's a region which memmap is bigger than System-Ram,
  then there not be enough space for the device to be probed successfully.

  Patch 4: Add an sysfs attribute for range allocation. It is a single entry
  where you pass a range <start>-<end> and where the ordering plus range
  length designate the page_offset. It is meant for recreate the same
  mappings after kexec (retaining the GPA->HPA association), but could
  also allow application to implement their own allocation strategy.

I will submit a separate daxctl counterpart shortly, to help visualize its use.
