Subject: [PATCH v2 00/22] device-dax: Support sub-dividing soft-reserved
ranges
Changes since v1 [1]:
- Combine this series with "Manual definition of Soft Reserved memory
devices" [2] as the pre-requisites are required to test the device-dax
facility, the device-dax changes are part of the justification for the
numa-info reworks.
- Provide a generic version of numa data retrieval based on memblock for
arm64 rather than adding a new / empty phys_to_target_node() stub
alongside memory_add_physaddr_to_nid(). (Will)
- Fix several corner case allocation bugs and pass the unit test written
by Joao.
- Lift the restriction that a 'seed' device must be activated before a
new seed can be created. This minor sanity check was to prevent userspace
spamming devices, but it gets in the way of some of allocation
scenarios like allocating a memory-range that is guaranteed to never be
evicted due to memory-side-cache conflicts. (Iqbal)
- Add debug prints for space allocation decisions (Joao)
- Rebased on v5.8-rc2 which included resolving conflicts in the kmem
driver and memremap_pages().

The device-dax facility allows an address range to be directly mapped
through a chardev, or optionally hotplugged to the core kernel page
allocator as System-RAM. It is the mechanism for converting persistent
memory (pmem) to be used as another volatile memory pool i.e. the
current Memory Tiering hot topic on linux-mm.
In the case of pmem the nvdimm-namespace-label mechanism can sub-divide
it, but that labeling mechanism is not available / applicable to
soft-reserved ("EFI specific purpose") memory [3]. This series provides
a sysfs-mechanism for the daxctl utility to enable provisioning of
volatile-soft-reserved memory ranges.
The motivations for this facility are:
1/ Allow performance differentiated memory ranges to be split between
kernel-managed and directly-accessed use cases.
2/ Allow physical memory to be provisioned along performance relevant
address boundaries. For example, divide a memory-side cache [4] along
cache-color boundaries.
3/ Parcel out soft-reserved memory to VMs using device-dax as a security
/ permissions boundary [5]. Specifically I have seen people (ab)using
memmap=nn!ss (mark System-RAM as Persistent Memory) just to get the
device-dax interface on custom address ranges. A follow-on for the VM
use case is to teach device-dax to dynamically allocate 'struct page' at
runtime to reduce the duplication of 'struct page' space in both the
guest and the host kernel for the same physical pages.
Given the intersections of arm64, x86, and core memremap_pages() changes
I'd like to explore taking this through the libnvdimm tree, but that is
step 2. Any concerns with the proposed infrastructure changes
(memblock-numainfo and multi-range-memremap-pages)?
