4 | Description: | |
5 | The /sys/devices/system/memory contains a snapshot of the | |
6 | internal state of the kernel memory blocks. Files could be | |
7 | added or removed dynamically to represent hot-add/remove | |
8 | operations. | |

15 | Description: | |
16 | The file /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryX/removable | |
17 | indicates whether this memory block is removable or not. | |
18 | This is useful for a user-level agent to determine | |
19 | identify removable sections of the memory before attempting | |
20 | potentially expensive hot-remove memory operation | |

28 | The file /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryX/phys_device | |
29 | is read-only and is designed to show the name of physical | |
30 | memory device. Implementation is currently incomplete. | |

35 | Description: | |
36 | The file /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryX/phys_index | |
37 | is read-only and contains the section ID in hexadecimal | |
38 | which is equivalent to decimal X contained in the | |
39 | memory section directory name. | |

44 | Description: | |
45 | The file /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryX/state | |
a33f3224 | 46 | is read-write. When read, its contents show the |
c04fc586 GH |
47 | online/offline state of the memory section. When written, |
48 | root can toggle the the online/offline state of a removable | |
49 | memory section (see removable file description above) | |
50 | using the following commands. | |
51 | # echo online > /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryX/state | |
52 | # echo offline > /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryX/state | |
53 | ||
54 | For example, if /sys/devices/system/memory/memory22/removable | |
55 | contains a value of 1 and | |
56 | /sys/devices/system/memory/memory22/state contains the | |
57 | string "online" the following command can be executed by | |
58 | by root to offline that section. | |
59 | # echo offline > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory22/state | |

68 | When CONFIG_NUMA is enabled, a symbolic link that | |
69 | points to the corresponding NUMA node directory. | |
70 | ||
71 | For example, the following symbolic link is created for | |
72 | memory section 9 on node0: | |
73 | /sys/devices/system/memory/memory9/node0 -> ../../node/node0 | |

80 | When CONFIG_NUMA is enabled | |
81 | /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/memoryY is a symbolic link that | |
82 | points to the corresponding /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryY | |
83 | memory section directory. For example, the following symbolic | |
84 | link is created for memory section 9 on node0. | |
85 | /sys/devices/system/node/node0/memory9 -> ../../memory/memory9 |
