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

From: Huang Ying
Date: Wed Jul 12 2023 - 03:49:57 EST


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.
