Dan Williams July 12, 2022, 7:08 p.m. UTC
Add helper commands for managing allocations of DPA (device physical
address) capacity on a set of CXL memory devices.

The main convenience this command affords is automatically picking the next
decoder to allocate per-memdev.

For example, to allocate 256MiB from all endpoints that are covered by a
given root decoder, and collect those resulting endpoint-decoders into an
array:

  readarray -t mem < <(cxl list -M -d $decoder | jq -r ".[].memdev")
  readarray -t endpoint < <(cxl reserve-dpa -t pmem ${mem[*]} -s $((256<<20)) |
                            jq -r ".[] | .decoder.decoder")

I guess the new commands are mostly for debug only - but should we add
man pages for them?

This patch adds some >80 col lines, which is fine by me - maybe we
should update .clang-format to 100 to make it official?

Oh whoops, yes, I missed that, will add.

.clang_format does not break up print format strings that span 80
columns. Same as the kernel. So those are properly formatted as the
non-format string portions of those print statements stay <= 80.

Oh sure - though I thought it would at least drop the " devname" to the
next line. (Just checked, looked like it does).

There were some other non-string long lines as well, e.g.:

+static int action_reserve_dpa(struct cxl_memdev *memdev, struct action_context *actx)

Of course I only checked the 2 previous log_err() in the quote and not
the one you directly commented on, will reflow.

Ok, will reflow that as well.
