Nice work Ira, Navneet etc. Maybe optimistic to hit 6.13, but I'd love it if it did. If not, Dave, how about shaving a few off the front so at least there is less to remember for v6 onwards :) Jonathan

A git tree of this series can be found here: https://github.com/weiny2/linux-kernel/tree/dcd-v4-2024-10-29 Series info =========== This series has 4 parts: Patch 1: Add core range_overlaps() function Patch 2-6: CXL clean up/prelim patches Patch 7-25: Core DCD support Patch 26-27: cxl_test support Background ========== A Dynamic Capacity Device (DCD) (CXL 3.1 sec 9.13.3) is a CXL memory device that allows memory capacity within a region to change dynamically without the need for resetting the device, reconfiguring HDM decoders, or reconfiguring software DAX regions. One of the biggest use cases for Dynamic Capacity is to allow hosts to share memory dynamically within a data center without increasing the per-host attached memory. The general flow for the addition or removal of memory is to have an orchestrator coordinate the use of the memory. Generally there are 5 actors in such a system, the Orchestrator, Fabric Manager, the Logical device, the Host Kernel, and a Host User. Typical work flows are shown below. Orchestrator FM Device Host Kernel Host User | | | | | |-------------- Create region ----------------------->| | | | | | | | | |<-- Create ---| | | | | Region | |<------------- Signal done --------------------------| | | | | | |-- Add ----->|-- Add --->|--- Add --->| | | Capacity | Extent | Extent | | | | | | | | |<- Accept -|<- Accept -| | | | Extent | Extent | | | | | |<- Create --->| | | | | DAX dev |-- Use memory | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |<- Release ---| <-+ | | | | DAX dev | | | | | | |<------------- Signal done --------------------------| | | | | | |-- Remove -->|- Release->|- Release ->| | | Capacity | Extent | Extent | | | | | | | | |<- Release-|<- Release -| | | | Extent | Extent | | | | | | | |-- Add ----->|-- Add --->|--- Add --->| | | Capacity | Extent | Extent | | | | | | | | |<- Accept -|<- Accept -| | | | Extent | Extent | | | | | |<- Create ----| | | | | DAX dev |-- Use memory | | | | | | | | | |<- Release ---| <-+ | | | | DAX dev | |<------------- Signal done --------------------------| | | | | | |-- Remove -->|- Release->|- Release ->| | | Capacity | Extent | Extent | | | | | | | | |<- Release-|<- Release -| | | | Extent | Extent | | | | | | | |-- Add ----->|-- Add --->|--- Add --->| | | Capacity | Extent | Extent | | | | | |<- Create ----| | | | | DAX dev |-- Use memory | | | | | | |-- Remove -->|- Release->|- Release ->| | | | Capacity | Extent | Extent | | | | | | | | | | | | (Release Ignored) | | | | | | | | | | | |<- Release ---| <-+ | | | | DAX dev | |<------------- Signal done --------------------------| | | | | | | |- Release->|- Release ->| | | | Extent | Extent | | | | | | | | |<- Release-|<- Release -| | | | Extent | Extent | | | | | |<- Destroy ---| | | | | Region | | | | | | Implementation ============== The series still requires the creation of regions and DAX devices to be closely synchronized with the Orchestrator and Fabric Manager. The host kernel will reject extents if a region is not yet created. It also ignores extent release if memory is in use (DAX device created). These synchronizations are not anticipated to be an issue with real applications. In order to allow for capacity to be added and removed a new concept of a sparse DAX region is introduced. A sparse DAX region may have 0 or more bytes of available space. The total space depends on the number and size of the extents which have been added. Initially it is anticipated that users of the memory will carefully coordinate the surfacing of additional capacity with the creation of DAX devices which use that capacity. Therefore, the allocation of the memory to DAX devices does not allow for specific associations between DAX device and extent. This keeps allocations very similar to existing DAX region behavior. To keep the DAX memory allocation aligned with the existing DAX devices which do not have tags extents are not allowed to have tags. Future support for tags is planned. Great care was taken to keep the extent tracking simple. Some xarray's needed to be added but extra software objects were kept to a minimum. Region extents continue to be tracked as sub-devices of the DAX region. This ensures that region destruction cleans up all extent allocations properly. Some review tags were kept if a patch did not change. The major functionality of this series includes: - Getting the dynamic capacity (DC) configuration information from cxl devices - Configuring the DC partitions reported by hardware - Enhancing the CXL and DAX regions for dynamic capacity support a. Maintain a logical separation between hardware extents and software managed region extents. This provides an abstraction between the layers and should allow for interleaving in the future - Get hardware extent lists for endpoint decoders upon region creation. - Adjust extent/region memory available on the following events. a. Add capacity Events b. Release capacity events - Host response for add capacity a. do not accept the extent if: If the region does not exist or an error occurs realizing the extent b. If the region does exist realize a DAX region extent with 1:1 mapping (no interleave yet) c. Support the event more bit by processing a list of extents marked with the more bit together before setting up a response. - Host response for remove capacity a. If no DAX device references the extent; release the extent b. If a reference does exist, ignore the request. (Require FM to issue release again.) - Modify DAX device creation/resize to account for extents within a sparse DAX region - Trace Dynamic Capacity events for debugging - Add cxl-test infrastructure to allow for faster unit testing (See new ndctl branch for cxl-dcd.sh test[1]) - Only support 0 value extent tags Fan Ni's upstream of Qemu DCD was used for testing. Remaining work: 1) Allow mapping to specific extents (perhaps based on label/tag) 1a) devise region size reporting based on tags 2) Interleave support Possible additional work depending on requirements: 1) Accept a new extent which extends (but overlaps) an existing extent(s) 2) Release extents when DAX devices are released if a release was previously seen from the device 3) Rework DAX device interfaces, memfd has been explored a bit [1] https://github.com/weiny2/ndctl/tree/dcd-region2-2024-10-01 --- Major Changes in v5: - Clean up more bit processing with bug fixes - Add cache flush on extent removal path - Split out %pra print specifier Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241025-cxl-pra-v2-0-123a825daba2@intel.com/ - Split out ACPI flags additions - Address comments on code format/spelling etc. - Link to v4: https://patch.msgid.link/20241007-dcd-type2-upstream-v4-0-c261ee6eeded@intel.com --- Ira Weiny (13): range: Add range_overlaps() ACPI/CDAT: Add CDAT/DSMAS shared and read only flag values dax: Document struct dev_dax_range cxl/pci: Delay event buffer allocation cxl/hdm: Use guard() in cxl_dpa_set_mode() cxl/region: Refactor common create region code cxl/cdat: Gather DSMAS data for DCD regions cxl/events: Split event msgnum configuration from irq setup cxl/pci: Factor out interrupt policy check cxl/core: Return endpoint decoder information from region search dax/bus: Factor out dev dax resize logic tools/testing/cxl: Make event logs dynamic tools/testing/cxl: Add DC Regions to mock mem data Navneet Singh (14): cxl/mbox: Flag support for Dynamic Capacity Devices (DCD) cxl/mem: Read dynamic capacity configuration from the device cxl/core: Separate region mode from decoder mode cxl/region: Add dynamic capacity decoder and region modes cxl/hdm: Add dynamic capacity size support to endpoint decoders cxl/mem: Expose DCD partition capabilities in sysfs cxl/port: Add endpoint decoder DC mode support to sysfs cxl/region: Add sparse DAX region support cxl/mem: Configure dynamic capacity interrupts cxl/extent: Process DCD events and realize region extents cxl/region/extent: Expose region extent information in sysfs dax/region: Create resources on sparse DAX regions cxl/region: Read existing extents on region creation cxl/mem: Trace Dynamic capacity Event Record Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-cxl | 125 ++++- drivers/cxl/core/Makefile | 2 +- drivers/cxl/core/cdat.c | 45 +- drivers/cxl/core/core.h | 34 +- drivers/cxl/core/extent.c | 500 +++++++++++++++++ drivers/cxl/core/hdm.c | 231 ++++++-- drivers/cxl/core/mbox.c | 610 +++++++++++++++++++- drivers/cxl/core/memdev.c | 128 ++++- drivers/cxl/core/port.c | 19 +- drivers/cxl/core/region.c | 185 ++++-- drivers/cxl/core/trace.h | 65 +++ drivers/cxl/cxl.h | 120 +++- drivers/cxl/cxlmem.h | 131 ++++- drivers/cxl/pci.c | 122 ++-- drivers/dax/bus.c | 356 ++++++++++-- drivers/dax/bus.h | 4 +- drivers/dax/cxl.c | 71 ++- drivers/dax/dax-private.h | 66 ++- drivers/dax/hmem/hmem.c | 2 +- drivers/dax/pmem.c | 2 +- fs/btrfs/ordered-data.c | 10 +- include/acpi/actbl1.h | 2 + include/cxl/event.h | 32 ++ include/linux/ioport.h | 3 + include/linux/range.h | 8 + tools/testing/cxl/Kbuild | 3 +- tools/testing/cxl/test/mem.c | 958 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---- 27 files changed, 3502 insertions(+), 332 deletions(-) --- base-commit: c2ee9f594da826bea183ed14f2cc029c719bf4da change-id: 20230604-dcd-type2-upstream-0cd15f6216fd Best regards,
