[PATCH RFCv2 3/4] mm/memory_hotplug: Introduce and use more memory types

David Hildenbrand
2018-11-30T17:59:21Z

Let's introduce new types for different kinds of memory blocks and use
them in existing code. As I don't see an easy way to split this up,
do it in one hunk for now.

acpi:
Use DIMM or DIMM_UNREMOVABLE depending on hotremove support in the kernel.
Properly change the type when trying to add memory that was already
detected and used during boot (so this memory will correctly end up as
"acpi" in user space).

pseries:
Use DIMM or DIMM_UNREMOVABLE depending on hotremove support in the kernel.
As far as I see, handling like in the acpi case for existing blocks is
not required.

probed memory from user space:
Use DIMM_UNREMOVABLE as there is no interface to get rid of this code
again.

hv_balloon,xen/balloon:
Use BALLOON. As simple as that :)

s390x/sclp:
Use a dedicated type S390X_STANDBY as this type of memory and it's
semantics are very s390x specific.

powernv/memtrace:
Only allow to use BOOT memory for memtrace. I consider this code in
general dangerous, but we have to keep it working ... most probably just
a debug feature.

At first I tried to abstract the types quite a lot, but I think there
are subtle differences that are worth differentiating. More details about
the types can be found in the excessive documentation.

It is wort noting that BALLOON_MOVABLE has no user yet, but I have
something in mind that might want to make use of that (virtio-mem).
Just included it to discuss the general approach. I can drop it from
this patch.
