[ndctl,00/10] fixes and movability for system-ram mode

Message

Verma, Vishal L Oct. 2, 2019, 11:49 p.m. UTC

This patchset improves the user experience around memory onlining,
specifically the state it is onlined in - movable vs non-movable. It
also adds an option to make the memory non-movable when onlining.

Patches 1-3 perform some preparatory and clean up steps.
Patches 4-6 add a way to determine and display the 'movable' vs
'non-movable' state of memory.
Patches 7-8 attempt to detect a race with memory onlining, and add a
Documentation clarification
Patches 9-10 Add the new --no-movable option to commands that may
online memory.
