[PATCH v4 05/10] x86, efi: Reserve UEFI 2.8 Specific Purpose Memory for dax

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



UEFI 2.8 defines an EFI_MEMORY_SP attribute bit to augment the
interpretation of the EFI Memory Types as "reserved for a specific
purpose".

The proposed Linux behavior for specific purpose memory is that it is
reserved for direct-access (device-dax) by default and not available for
any kernel usage, not even as an OOM fallback.  Later, through udev
scripts or another init mechanism, these device-dax claimed ranges can
be reconfigured and hot-added to the available System-RAM with a unique
node identifier.

This patch introduces 2 new concepts at once given the entanglement
between early boot enumeration relative to memory that can optionally be
reserved from the kernel page allocator by default. The new concepts
are:

- E820_TYPE_APPLICATION_RESERVED: Upon detecting the EFI_MEMORY_SP
  attribute on EFI_CONVENTIONAL memory, update the E820 map with this
  new type. Only perform this classification if the
  CONFIG_EFI_SPECIFIC_DAX=y policy is enabled, otherwise treat it as
  typical ram.

- IORES_DESC_APPLICATION_RESERVED: Add a new I/O resource descriptor for
  a device driver to search iomem resources for application specific
  memory. Teach the iomem code to identify such ranges as "Application
  Reserved".

A follow-on change integrates parsing of the ACPI HMAT to identify the
node and sub-range boundaries of EFI_MEMORY_SP designated memory. For
now, just identify and reserve memory of this type.

For now this translation of EFI_CONVENTIONAL + EFI_MEMORY_SP is
x86/E820-only, but other archs could choose to publish
IORES_DESC_APPLICATION_RESERVED resources from their platform-firmware
memory map handlers.
