Make the ACPI memory hotplug driver use struct acpi_scan_handler
for representing the object used to set up ACPI memory hotplug
functionality and to remove hotplug memory ranges and data
structures used by the driver before unregistering ACPI device
nodes representing memory. Register the new struct acpi_scan_handler
object with the help of acpi_scan_add_handler_with_hotplug() to allow
user space to manipulate the attributes of the memory hotplug
profile.

Let's consider an example where we want acpi memory device ejection to be safely
handled by userspace. We do the following:

echo 0 > /sys/firmware/acpi/hotplug/memory/autoeject
echo 1 > /sys/firmware/acpi/hotplug/memory/uevents

We succesfully hotplug acpi device:
/sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYSBUS:00/PNP0C80:00
and its corresponding memblocks /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryXX are
also successfully onlined.

On an eject request, since uevents == 1, the kernel will emit KOBJ_OFFLINE for:
/sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYSBUS:00/PNP0C80:00

Can userspace know which memblocks in /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryXX/
correspond to the acpi device /sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYSBUS:00/PNP0C80:00 ?
This will be needed so that userspace tries to offline the memblocks (and only
if successful, issue the eject operation on the acpi device). As far as I see,
we don't create any sysfs links or files for this scenario - can userspace get
this info somehow?


/sys/devices/system/memory/memoryXX/phys_device needs to be properly implemented
for this to work I think, see Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-memory

The following test patch works toward that direction. Let me know if it's of
interest or if there are better ideas /comments.

How about use ../PNP0C80:00/physical_node/resources file?
In my system, the file shows following information.

$ cat /sys/bus/acpi/devices/PNP0C80\:00/physical_node/resources
state = active
mem 0x0-0x80000000
mem 0x100000000-0x800000000

It means PNP0C80:00's memory ranges are "0x0-0x7fffffff" and
"0x100000000-0x7ffffffff". In x86 architecture, memory section size is
128MiB. So, if these memory range is divided by 128MiB, you can
calculate memory section number as follow:

0x0-0x7fffffff => 0x0-0x10
0x100000000-0x7ffffffff => 0x20-0xff

But there is one problem. The problem is that resources file of added memory
is not created. If the problem is fixed, I think you can use the way.

Subject: [RFC PATCH] acpi / memory-hotplug: implement phys_device

In order for userspace to know which memblocks in:
/sys/devices/system/memory/memoryXX correspond to which acpi memory devices in:
/sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYSBUS:00/PNP0C80:YY,
/sys/devices/system/memory/memoryXX/phys_device should return a name (or index
YY) of the memory device each memblock XX belongs to.

WIth this patch, the acpi mem_hotplug driver keeps a global list of acpi memory
devices (inserted in hotplug_order). The base memory driver checks against this
list in arch_get_memory_phys_device to determine the zero-based index of the
physical memory device each new memblock belongs to.

For initial memory or for non-acpi/hotplug enabled systems, phys_device is
always -1.

I don't think this solve your problem.

When hot adding memory device in my system, consecutive index number is
applied to PNP0C80 as follows:

$ ls /sys/bus/acpi/devices/ |grep PNP0C80
PNP0C80:00
PNP0C80:01 => hot added memory device
PNP0C80:02 => hot added memory device

In this case, we can know PNP0C80:YY by memoryXX/phys_device file.
But if hot removing and adding the same device, index number is changed
as follows:

$ ls /sys/bus/acpi/devices/
PNP0C80:00
PNP0C80:03 => hot added memory device
PNP0C80:04 => hot added memory device

In this case, we cannot know PNP0C80:YY by memoryXX/phys_device file.
