    device-dax: add resize support · fcffb6a1
    Dan Williams authored
    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
