device-dax: "Hotplug" persistent memory for use like normal RAM
This is intended for use with NVDIMMs that are physically persistent
(physically like flash) so that they can be used as a cost-effective
RAM replacement. Intel Optane DC persistent memory is one
implementation of this kind of NVDIMM.
Currently, a persistent memory region is "owned" by a device driver,
either the "Direct DAX" or "Filesystem DAX" drivers. These drivers
allow applications to explicitly use persistent memory, generally
by being modified to use special, new libraries. (DIMM-based
persistent memory hardware/software is described in great detail
here: Documentation/nvdimm/nvdimm.txt).
However, this limits persistent memory use to applications which
*have* been modified. To make it more broadly usable, this driver
"hotplugs" memory into the kernel, to be managed and used just like
normal RAM would be.
To make this work, management software must remove the device from
being controlled by the "Device DAX" infrastructure:
echo dax0.0 > /sys/bus/dax/drivers/device_dax/unbind
and then tell the new driver that it can bind to the device:
echo dax0.0 > /sys/bus/dax/drivers/kmem/new_id
After this, there will be a number of new memory sections visible
in sysfs that can be onlined, or that may get onlined by existing
udev-initiated memory hotplug rules.
This rebinding procedure is currently a one-way trip. Once memory
is bound to "kmem", it's there permanently and can not be
unbound and assigned back to device_dax.
The kmem driver will never bind to a dax device unless the device
is *explicitly* bound to the driver. There are two reasons for
this: One, since it is a one-way trip, it can not be undone if
bound incorrectly. Two, the kmem driver destroys data on the
device. Think of if you had good data on a pmem device. It
would be catastrophic if you compile-in "kmem", but leave out
the "device_dax" driver. kmem would take over the device and
write volatile data all over your good data.
This inherits any existing NUMA information for the newly-added
memory from the persistent memory device that came from the
firmware. On Intel platforms, the firmware has guarantees that
require each socket's persistent memory to be in a separate
memory-only NUMA node. That means that this patch is not expected
to create NUMA nodes, but will simply hotplug memory into existing
nodes.
Because NUMA nodes are created, the existing NUMA APIs and tools
are sufficient to create policies for applications or memory areas
to have affinity for or an aversion to using this memory.
There is currently some metadata at the beginning of pmem regions.
The section-size memory hotplug restrictions, plus this small
reserved area can cause the "loss" of a section or two of capacity.
This should be fixable in follow-on patches. But, as a first step,
losing 256MB of memory (worst case) out of hundreds of gigabytes
is a good tradeoff vs. the required code to fix this up precisely.
This calculation is also the reason we export
memory_block_size_bytes().
