Subject: [RFC 0/4] memory tiering: calculate abstract distance based on ACPI HMAT

We have the explicit memory tiers framework to manage systems with
multiple types of memory, e.g., DRAM in DIMM slots and CXL memory
devices. Where, same kind of memory devices will be grouped into
memory types, then put into memory tiers. To describe the performance
of a memory type, abstract distance is defined. Which is in direct
proportion to the memory latency and inversely proportional to the
memory bandwidth. To keep the code as simple as possible, fixed
abstract distance is used in dax/kmem to describe slow memory such as
Optane DCPMM.

To support more memory types, in this series, we added the abstract
distance calculation algorithm management mechanism, provided a
algorithm implementation based on ACPI HMAT, and used the general
abstract distance calculation interface in dax/kmem driver. So,
dax/kmem can support HBM (high bandwidth memory) in addition to the
original Optane DCPMM.

Best Regards,
Huang, Ying

Subject: [RFC 4/4] dax, kmem: calculate abstract distance with general interface

Previously, a fixed abstract distance MEMTIER_DEFAULT_DAX_ADISTANCE is
used for slow memory type in kmem driver. This limits the usage of
kmem driver, for example, it cannot be used for HBM (high bandwidth
memory).

So, we use the general abstract distance calculation mechanism in kmem
drivers to get more accurate abstract distance on systems with proper
support. The original MEMTIER_DEFAULT_DAX_ADISTANCE is used as
fallback only.

Now, multiple memory types may be managed by kmem. These memory types
are put into the "kmem_memory_types" list and protected by
kmem_memory_type_lock.

Subject: [RFC 3/4] acpi, hmat: calculate abstract distance with HMAT

A memory tiering abstract distance calculation algorithm based on ACPI
HMAT is implemented. The basic idea is as follows.

The performance attributes of system default DRAM nodes are recorded
as the base line. Whose abstract distance is MEMTIER_ADISTANCE_DRAM.
Then, the ratio of the abstract distance of a memory node (target) to
MEMTIER_ADISTANCE_DRAM is scaled based on the ratio of the performance
attributes of the node to that of the default DRAM nodes.

Subject: [RFC 2/4] acpi, hmat: refactor hmat_register_target_initiators()

Previously, in hmat_register_target_initiators(), the performance
attributes are calculated and the corresponding sysfs links and files
are created too. Which is called during memory onlining.

But now, to calculate the abstract distance of a memory target before
memory onlining, we need to calculate the performance attributes for
a memory target without creating sysfs links and files.

To do that, hmat_register_target_initiators() is refactored to make it
possible to calculate performance attributes separately.

Subject: [RFC 1/4] memory tiering: add abstract distance calculation algorithms management

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).

What is this check about? what is the significance of 10? Can you add

Can you write a comment describing how we use all these attributes in

We want to check the validity of HMAT here. We expect the performance
of all default DRAM nodes are almost same, that is, the variation is
less than 10%. And that will be used as base to calculate the abstract
distance of other memory devices. If there is large variation among the
performance of default DRAM nodes, it's hard to set a reasonable base
for abstract distance calculation.

I will add some comments for this in the next version.

Sure. How about the following text?

The abstract distance of a memory node is in direct proportion to its
memory latency (read + write) and inversely proportional to its memory
bandwidth (read + write). The abstract distance, memory latency, and
memory bandwidth of default DRAM nodes are used as base.

Huang, Ying
