From 6450ddbd5d8e83ea9927c7f9076a21f829699e0f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Williams Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2020 15:07:40 -0700 Subject: ACPI: NFIT: Define runtime firmware activation commands Platform reboots are expensive. Towards reducing downtime to apply firmware updates the Intel NVDIMM command definition is growing support for applying live firmware updates that only require temporarily suspending memory traffic instead of a full reboot. Follow-on commits add support for triggering firmware activation, this patch only defines the commands, adds probe support, and validates that they are blocked via the ioctl path. The ioctl-path block ensures that the OS is in charge since these commands have side effects only the OS can handle. Specifically firmware activation may cause the memory controller to be quiesced on the order of 100s of milliseconds. In that case Linux ensure the activation only takes place while the OS is in a suspend state.
