Changes since v1: * Add a Documentation/daxctl/ entry for each patch that adds commands or new option.
* Fix functional test suite to only change region 0 and not touch others * Fix reconfigure-device -s changes (third patch) for better bisection. v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-nvdimm/[email protected]/ --- This series introduces the daxctl support for sub-dividing soft-reserved regions created by EFI/HMAT/efi_fake_mem. It's the userspace counterpart of this recent patch series [0]. These new 'dynamic' regions can be partitioned into multiple different devices which its subdivisions can consist of one or more ranges. This is in contrast to static dax regions -- created with ndctl-create-namespace -m devdax -- which can't be subdivided neither discontiguous. See also cover-letter of [0]. The daxctl changes in these patches are depicted as: * {create,destroy,disable,enable}-device: These orchestrate/manage the sub-division devices. It mimmics the same as namespaces equivalent commands. * Allow reconfigure-device to change the size of an existing *dynamic* dax device. * Add test coverage (Tried to cover all range allocation code paths). v2 of kernel patches now passes this test suite. * Documentation regarding the new command additions.
