Contiguous Memory Allocator
|
||
|
|
===========================
|
||
|
|
CXL Memory onlined as SystemRAM during early boot is eligible for use by CMA,
|
||
|
|
as the NUMA node hosting that capacity will be `Online` at the time CMA
|
||
|
|
carves out contiguous capacity.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CXL Memory deferred to the CXL Driver for configuration cannot have its
|
||
|
|
capacity allocated by CMA - as the NUMA node hosting the capacity is `Offline`
|
||
|
|
at :code:`__init` time - when CMA carves out contiguous capacity.
