acpi/nfit, device-dax: Identify differentiated memory with a unique numa-node
Persistent memory, as described by the ACPI NFIT (NVDIMM Firmware Interface Table), is the first known instance of a memory range described by a unique "target" proximity domain. Where "initiator" and "target" proximity domains is an approach that the ACPI HMAT (Heterogeneous Memory Attributes Table) uses to described the unique performance properties of a memory range relative to a given initiator (e.g. CPU or DMA device). Currently the numa-node for a /dev/pmemX block-device or /dev/daxX.Y char-device follows the traditional notion of 'numa-node' where the attribute conveys the closest online numa-node. That numa-node attribute is useful for cpu-binding and memory-binding processes *near* the device. However, when the memory range backing a 'pmem', or 'dax' device is onlined (memory hot-add) the memory-only-numa-node representing that address needs to be differentiated from the set of online nodes. In other words, the numa-node association of the device depends on whether you can bind processes *near* the cpu-numa-node in the offline device-case, or bind process *on* the memory-range directly after the backing address range is onlined. Allow for the case that platform firmware describes persistent memory with a unique proximity domain, i.e. when it is distinct from the proximity of DRAM and CPUs that are on the same socket. Plumb the Linux numa-node translation of that proximity through the libnvdimm region device to namespaces that are in device-dax mode. With this in place the proposed kmem driver [1] can optionally discover a unique numa-node number for the address range as it transitions the memory from an offline state managed by a device-driver to an online memory range managed by the core-mm.
