I think the whole libdaxctl handling for onlining memory is based on that.


Sorry, forgot to add a pointer:

https://github.com/pmem/ndctl/blob/main/daxctl/lib/libdaxctl.c

Thanks for the pointer! I will have a look.

In particular daxctl_memory_op(), used to implement stuff like

daxctl online-memory
daxctl offline-memory
daxctl reconfigure-device (--no-online, --no-movable)


I am not sure if they also offline memory automatically before disabling a device.

But in essence, they want to to everything automatically as possible.
