Subject: Re: [PATCH v5 4/9] mm/memory_hotplug: add __add_memory_driver_managed() with online_type arg
Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2026 18:41:14 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5d3aa51c-d582-4989-a9f3-e46c95dcacb7@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260624145744.3532049-5-gourry@gourry.net>


> Existing callers of add_memory_driver_managed cannot select the
> preferred online type (ZONE_NORMAL vs ZONE_MOVABLE), requiring it to
> hot-add memory as offline blocks, and then follow up by onlining each
> memory block individually.
>
> Most drivers prefer the system default, but the CXL driver wants to
> plumb a preferred policy through the dax kmem driver.
>
> Refactor APIs to add a new interface which allows the dax kmem module
> to select a preferred policy.
>
> Overriding the configured auto-online policy is only safe for known
> in-tree modules, where we know the override reflects a different,
> user-requested policy.  We do not want arbitrary out-of-tree drivers
> silently overriding the system-wide onlining policy, so restrict the
> new interface to the kmem module using EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_MODULES()
> rather than a plain EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL().  Other in-tree modules (e.g.
> cxl_core) can be added to the allowed list as the need arises.
>
> Refactor add_memory_driver_managed, extract __add_memory_driver_managed
> - Add proper kernel-doc for add_memory_driver_managed while refactoring
> - New helper accepts an explicit online_type.
> - New helper validates online_type is between OFFLINE and ONLINE_MOVABLE
>
> Refactor: add_memory_resource, extract __add_memory_resource
> - new helper accepts an explicit online_type
>
> Original APIs now explicitly pass the system-default to new helpers.
>
> No functional change for existing users.
