| H A D | dax-dev.c | 60e93dc0 Tue Oct 13 18:50:39 CDT 2020 Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> device-dax: add dis-contiguous resource support
Break the requirement that device-dax instances are physically contiguous.
With this constraint removed it allows fragmented available capacity to
be fully allocated.
This capability is useful to mitigate the "noisy neighbor" problem with
memory-side-cache management for virtual machines, or any other scenario
where a platform address boundary also designates a performance boundary.
For example a direct mapped memory side cache might rotate cache colors at
1GB boundaries. With dis-contiguous allocations a device-dax instance
could be configured to contain only 1 cache color.
It also satisfies Joao's use case (see link) for partitioning memory for
exclusive guest access. It allows for a future potential mode where the
host kernel need not allocate 'struct page' capacity up-front.

60e93dc0 Tue Oct 13 18:50:39 CDT 2020 Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> device-dax: add dis-contiguous resource support
Break the requirement that device-dax instances are physically contiguous.
With this constraint removed it allows fragmented available capacity to
be fully allocated.
This capability is useful to mitigate the "noisy neighbor" problem with
memory-side-cache management for virtual machines, or any other scenario
where a platform address boundary also designates a performance boundary.
For example a direct mapped memory side cache might rotate cache colors at
1GB boundaries. With dis-contiguous allocations a device-dax instance
could be configured to contain only 1 cache color.
It also satisfies Joao's use case (see link) for partitioning memory for
exclusive guest access. It allows for a future potential mode where the
host kernel need not allocate 'struct page' capacity up-front.
