[v4,0/3] Add DAX ABI for memmap_on_memory

Message

Verma, Vishal L Dec. 12, 2023, 7:08 p.m. UTC

The DAX drivers were missing sysfs ABI documentation entirely.  Add this
missing documentation for the sysfs ABI for DAX regions and Dax devices
in patch 1. Define guard(device) semantics for Scope Based Resource
Management for device_lock, and convert device_{lock,unlock} flows in
drivers/dax/bus.c to use this in patch 2. Add a new ABI for toggling
memmap_on_memory semantics in patch 3.

The missing ABI was spotted in [1], this series is a split of the new
ABI additions behind the initial documentation creation.

Changes in v4:
- Hold the device lock when checking if the dax_dev is bound to kmem
  (Ying, Dan)
- Remove dax region checks (and locks) as they were unnecessary.
- Introduce guard(device) for device lock/unlock (Dan)
- Convert the rest of drivers/dax/bus.c to guard(device)
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[e-mail]

Changes in v3:
- Fix typo in ABI docs (Zhijian Li)
- Add kernel config and module parameter dependencies to the ABI docs
  entry (David Hildenbrand)
- Ensure kmem isn't active when setting the sysfs attribute (Ying
  Huang)
- Simplify returning from memmap_on_memory_store()
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[e-mail]

Changes in v2:
- Fix CC lists, patch 1/2 didn't get sent correctly in v1
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[e-mail]
