[PATCH RESEND 1/4] memory tiering: add abstract distance calculation algorithms management

Huang Ying
2023-07-21T01:45:13Z

The abstract distance may be calculated by various drivers, such as
ACPI HMAT, CXL CDAT, etc. While it may be used by various code which
hot-add memory node, such as dax/kmem etc. To decouple the algorithm
users and the providers, the abstract distance calculation algorithms
management mechanism is implemented in this patch. It provides
interface for the providers to register the implementation, and
interface for the users.

Multiple algorithm implementations can cooperate via calculating
abstract distance for different memory nodes. The preference of
algorithm implementations can be specified via
priority (notifier_block.priority).
