Hi! Not completely what I had in mind, especially not that we need something that generic without any indication of ranges :) In general, the flow is as follows: 1) Driver detects memory and adds it 2) Something auto-onlines that memory (e.g., udev rule) For dax/kmem, 1) can be controlled using devdax, and usually it also tries to take care of 2). s390x standby storage really is the weird thing here, because it does 1) and doesn't want 2). It shouldn't do 1) until a user wants to make use of standby memory. My thinking was that s390x would expose the standby memory ranges somewhere arch specific in sysfs. From there, one could simply trigger the adding (maybe specifying e.g, memmap_on_memory) of selected ranges. To disable standby memory, one would first offline the memory to then trigger removal using the arch specific interface. It is very similar to dax/kmem's way of handling offline+removal. Now I wonder if dax/kmem could be (ab)used on s390x for standby storage. Likely a simple sysfs interface could be easier to implement. -- Cheers, David / dhildenb
