Subject: [PATCH 7/8] dax/kmem: extract hotplug/hotremove helper functions
Date: Sat, 21 Mar 2026 11:04:03 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260321150404.3288786-8-gourry@gourry.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260321150404.3288786-1-gourry@gourry.net>
Refactor kmem _probe() _remove() by extracting init, cleanup, hotplug,
and hot-remove logic into separate helper functions:
- dax_kmem_init_resources: inits IO_RESOURCE w/ request_mem_region
- dax_kmem_cleanup_resources: cleans up initialized IO_RESOURCE
- dax_kmem_do_hotplug: handles memory region reservation and adding
- dax_kmem_do_hotremove: handles memory removal and resource cleanup
This is a pure refactoring with no functional change. The helpers will
enable future extensions to support more granular control over memory
hotplug operations.
We need to split hotplug/remove and init/cleanup in order to have the
resources available for hot-add. Otherwise, when probe occurs, the dax
devices are never added to sysfs because the resources are never
registered.
