From 99415dfc7c5167c49a5732f577836f68872645b2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vishal Verma <vishal.l.verma@intel.com> Date: Wed, 24 Mar 2021 12:09:29 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] daxctl: fail reconfigure-device based on kernel onlining policy Upstream: v72 Git-commit: 99415dfc7c5167c49a5732f577836f68872645b2 If the kernel has a policy set to auto-online any new memory blocks, we know that an attempt to reconfigure a device either in ZONE_MOVABLE, or with the --no-online is going to fail. While we detect this race after the fact, and print a warning, that is often insufficient as the user may be forced to reboot to get out of the situation, resulting in an unpleasant experience. Detect whether the kernel policy is set to auto-online. If so, fail device reconfigure operations that we know can't be satisfied. Allow for overriding this safety check via the -f (--force) option. Update the man page to talk about this, and the unit test to test for an expected failure by enabling auto-onlining.
