device-dax: add resize support
Make the device-dax 'size' attribute writable to allow capacity to be
split between multiple instances in a region. The intended consumers of
this capability are users that want to split a scarce memory resource
between device-dax and System-RAM access, or users that want to have
multiple security domains for a large region.
By default the hmem instance provider allocates an entire region to the
first instance. The process of creating a new instance (assuming a
region-id of 0) is find the region and trigger the 'create' attribute
which yields an empty instance to configure. For example:
cd /sys/bus/dax/devices
echo dax0.0 > dax0.0/driver/unbind
echo $new_size > dax0.0/size
echo 1 > $(readlink -f dax0.0)../dax_region/create
seed=$(cat $(readlink -f dax0.0)../dax_region/seed)
echo $new_size > $seed/size
echo dax0.0 > ../drivers/{device_dax,kmem}/bind
echo dax0.1 > ../drivers/{device_dax,kmem}/bind
Instances can be destroyed by:
echo $device > $(readlink -f $device)../dax_region/delete
