Hi Tony,
Does the upcoming[*] ACPI will add a new flag in SRAT tables? just like memory
hotplug.
#define ACPI_SRAT_MEM_HOT_PLUGGABLE (1<<1) /* 01: Memory region is hot
pluggable */
+#define ACPI_SRAT_MEM_MIRROR (1<<3) /* 03: Memory region is
mirrored */
acpi_numa_memory_affinity_init()
...
hotpluggable = ma->flags & ACPI_SRAT_MEM_HOT_PLUGGABLE;
+ mirrorable = ma->flags & ACPI_SRAT_MEM_MIRROR;
...
+ if (mirrorable)
+ memblock_mark_mirror(start, size);
...
Thanks,
