Subject: [PATCH v4 00/28] DCD: Add support for Dynamic Capacity Devices
(DCD)
A git tree of this series can be found here:
https://github.com/weiny2/linux-kernel/tree/dcd-v4-2024-10-04
Series info
===========
This series has 5 parts:
Patch 1-3: Add %pra printk format for struct range
Patch 4: Add core range_overlaps() function
Patch 5-6: CXL clean up/prelim patches
Patch 7-26: Core DCD support
Patch 27-28: cxl_test support
Background
==========
A Dynamic Capacity Device (DCD) (CXL 3.1 sec 9.13.3) is a CXL memory
device that allows memory capacity within a region to change
dynamically without the need for resetting the device, reconfiguring
HDM decoders, or reconfiguring software DAX regions.
One of the biggest use cases for Dynamic Capacity is to allow hosts to
share memory dynamically within a data center without increasing the
per-host attached memory.
The general flow for the addition or removal of memory is to have an
orchestrator coordinate the use of the memory. Generally there are 5
actors in such a system, the Orchestrator, Fabric Manager, the Logical
device, the Host Kernel, and a Host User.
Typical work flows are shown below.

Implementation
==============
The series still requires the creation of regions and DAX devices to be
closely synchronized with the Orchestrator and Fabric Manager. The host
kernel will reject extents if a region is not yet created. It also
ignores extent release if memory is in use (DAX device created). These
synchronizations are not anticipated to be an issue with real
applications.
In order to allow for capacity to be added and removed a new concept of
a sparse DAX region is introduced. A sparse DAX region may have 0 or
more bytes of available space. The total space depends on the number
and size of the extents which have been added.
Initially it is anticipated that users of the memory will carefully
coordinate the surfacing of additional capacity with the creation of DAX
devices which use that capacity. Therefore, the allocation of the
memory to DAX devices does not allow for specific associations between
DAX device and extent. This keeps allocations very similar to existing
DAX region behavior.
To keep the DAX memory allocation aligned with the existing DAX devices
which do not have tags extents are not allowed to have tags. Future
support for tags is planned.
Great care was taken to keep the extent tracking simple. Some xarray's
needed to be added but extra software objects were kept to a minimum.
Region extents continue to be tracked as sub-devices of the DAX region.
This ensures that region destruction cleans up all extent allocations
properly.
Some review tags were kept if a patch did not change.
The major functionality of this series includes:
- Getting the dynamic capacity (DC) configuration information from cxl
devices
- Configuring the DC partitions reported by hardware
- Enhancing the CXL and DAX regions for dynamic capacity support
a. Maintain a logical separation between hardware extents and
software managed region extents. This provides an
abstraction between the layers and should allow for
interleaving in the future
- Get hardware extent lists for endpoint decoders upon
region creation.
- Adjust extent/region memory available on the following events.
a. Add capacity Events
b. Release capacity events
- Host response for add capacity
a. do not accept the extent if:
If the region does not exist
or an error occurs realizing the extent
b. If the region does exist
realize a DAX region extent with 1:1 mapping (no
interleave yet)
c. Support the event more bit by processing a list of extents
marked with the more bit together before setting up a
response.
- Host response for remove capacity
a. If no DAX device references the extent; release the extent
b. If a reference does exist, ignore the request.
(Require FM to issue release again.)
- Modify DAX device creation/resize to account for extents within a
sparse DAX region
- Trace Dynamic Capacity events for debugging
- Add cxl-test infrastructure to allow for faster unit testing
(See new ndctl branch for cxl-dcd.sh test[1])
- Only support 0 value extent tags
Fan Ni's upstream of Qemu DCD was used for testing.
Remaining work:
1) Allow mapping to specific extents (perhaps based on
label/tag)
1a) devise region size reporting based on tags
2) Interleave support
Possible additional work depending on requirements:
1) Accept a new extent which extends (but overlaps) an existing
extent(s)
2) Release extents when DAX devices are released if a release
was previously seen from the device
3) Rework DAX device interfaces, memfd has been explored a bit
