Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/3] PCI/P2PMEM: introduce pci_p2pdma_align_size API
Hi all,
In hotplugged memory (from check_pfn_span function):
"
Disallow all operations smaller than a sub-section and only
allow operations smaller than a section for
SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP. Note that check_hotplug_memory_range()
enforces a larger memory_block_size_bytes() granularity for
memory that will be marked online, so this check should only
fire for direct arch_{add,remove}_memory() users outside of
add_memory_resource()
"
This restriction will disqualify, for example, large NVMe CMBs that might have
non power of 2 number of pages (e.g. 32767 pages of 4KB). For these
devices, the CMB size will be rounded down from 0x7fff000 to 0x7e00000
but it's better than having un-mapped CMB.
If we all agree on the approach, this RFC can assist as-is to these NVMe
devices and other P2PMEM devices in the future and can considered for
the next merge window.
