device-dax: add resize support
Make the device-dax 'size' attribute writable to allow capacity to be split between multiple instances in a region. The intended consumers of this capability are users that want to split a scarce memory resource between device-dax and System-RAM access, or users that want to have multiple security domains for a large region. By default the hmem instance provider allocates an entire region to the first instance. The process of creating a new instance (assuming a region-id of 0) is find the region and trigger the 'create' attribute which yields an empty instance to configure. For example: cd /sys/bus/dax/devices echo dax0.0 > dax0.0/driver/unbind echo $new_size > dax0.0/size echo 1 > $(readlink -f dax0.0)../dax_region/create seed=$(cat $(readlink -f dax0.0)../dax_region/seed) echo $new_size > $seed/size echo dax0.0 > ../drivers/{device_dax,kmem}/bind echo dax0.1 > ../drivers/{device_dax,kmem}/bind Instances can be destroyed by: echo $device > $(readlink -f $device)../dax_region/delete Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Vishal Verma <vishal.l.verma@intel.com> Cc: Brice Goglin <Brice.Goglin@inria.fr> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Cc: Dave Jiang <dave.jiang@intel.com> Cc: David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com> Cc: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@intel.com> Cc: Jia He <justin.he@arm.com> Cc: Joao Martins <joao.m.martins@oracle.com> Cc: Jonathan Cameron <Jonathan.Cameron@huawei.com> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> Cc: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Cc: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: Ben Skeggs <bskeggs@redhat.com> Cc: Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@google.com> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Boris Ostrovsky <boris.ostrovsky@oracle.com> Cc: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Cc: Daniel Vetter <daniel@ffwll.ch> Cc: David Airlie <airlied@linux.ie> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Cc: "H.
