ACPI: NUMA: HMAT: Register "soft reserved" memory as an "hmem" device
Memory that has been tagged EFI_MEMORY_SP, and has performance properties described by the ACPI HMAT is expected to have an application specific consumer. Those consumers may want 100% of the memory capacity to be reserved from any usage by the kernel. By default, with this enabling, a platform device is created to represent this differentiated resource. The device-dax "hmem" driver claims these devices by default and provides an mmap interface for the target application. If the administrator prefers, the hmem resource range can be made available to the core-mm via the device-dax hotplug facility, kmem, to online the memory with its own numa node. This was tested with an emulated HMAT produced by qemu (with the pending HMAT enabling patches), and "efi_fake_mem=8G@9G:0x40000" on the kernel command line to mark the memory ranges associated with node2 and node3 as EFI_MEMORY_SP. qemu numa configuration options: -numa node,mem=4G,cpus=0-19,nodeid=0 -numa node,mem=4G,cpus=20-39,nodeid=1 -numa node,mem=4G,nodeid=2 -numa node,mem=4G,nodeid=3 -numa dist,src=0,dst=0,val=10 -numa dist,src=0,dst=1,val=21 -numa dist,src=0,dst=2,val=21 -numa dist,src=0,dst=3,val=21 -numa dist,src=1,dst=0,val=21 -numa dist,src=1,dst=1,val=10 -numa dist,src=1,dst=2,val=21 -numa dist,src=1,dst=3,val=21 -numa dist,src=2,dst=0,val=21 -numa dist,src=2,dst=1,val=21 -numa dist,src=2,dst=2,val=10 -numa dist,src=2,dst=3,val=21 -numa dist,src=3,dst=0,val=21 -numa dist,src=3,dst=1,val=21 -numa dist,src=3,dst=2,val=21 -numa dist,src=3,dst=3,val=10 -numa hmat-lb,initiator=0,target=0,hierarchy=memory,data-type=access-latency,base-lat=10,latency=5 -numa hmat-lb,initiator=0,target=0,hierarchy=memory,data-type=access-bandwidth,base-bw=20,bandwidth=5 -numa hmat-lb,initiator=0,target=1,hierarchy=memory,data-type=access-latency,base-lat=10,latency=10 -numa hmat-lb,initiator=0,target=1,hierarchy=memory,data-type=access-bandwidth,base-bw=20,bandwidth=10 -numa hmat-lb,initiator=0,target=2,hierarchy=memory,data-type=access-latency,base-lat=10,latency=15 -numa hmat-lb,initiator=0,target=2,hierarchy=memory,data-type=access-bandwidth,base-bw=20,bandwidth=15 -numa hmat-lb,initiator=0,target=3,hierarchy=memory,data-type=access-latency,base-lat=10,latency=20 -numa hmat-lb,initiator=0,target=3,hierarchy=memory,data-type=access-bandwidth,base-bw=20,bandwidth=20 -numa hmat-lb,initiator=1,target=0,hierarchy=memory,data-type=access-latency,base-lat=10,latency=10 -numa hmat-lb,initiator=1,target=0,hierarchy=memory,data-type=access-bandwidth,base-bw=20,bandwidth=10 -numa hmat-lb,initiator=1,target=1,hierarchy=memory,data-type=access-latency,base-lat=10,latency=5 -numa hmat-lb,initiator=1,target=1,hierarchy=memory,data-type=access-bandwidth,base-bw=20,bandwidth=5 -numa hmat-lb,initiator=1,target=2,hierarchy=memory,data-type=access-latency,base-lat=10,latency=15 -numa hmat-lb,initiator=1,target=2,hierarchy=memory,data-type=access-bandwidth,base-bw=20,bandwidth=15 -numa hmat-lb,initiator=1,target=3,hierarchy=memory,data-type=access-latency,base-lat=10,latency=20 -numa hmat-lb,initiator=1,target=3,hierarchy=memory,data-type=access-bandwidth,base-bw=20,bandwidth=20 Result: [ { "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)" } ] }, { "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)" } ] } ] [..] 240000000-43fffffff : Soft Reserved 240000000-33fffffff : hmem.0 240000000-33fffffff : dax0.0 340000000-43fffffff : hmem.1 340000000-43fffffff : dax1.0 Reviewed-by: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Acked-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
