Let's consider an example where we want acpi memory device ejection to be safely
handled by userspace. We do the following:

echo 0 > /sys/firmware/acpi/hotplug/memory/autoeject
echo 1 > /sys/firmware/acpi/hotplug/memory/uevents

We succesfully hotplug acpi device:
/sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYSBUS:00/PNP0C80:00
and its corresponding memblocks /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryXX are
also successfully onlined.

On an eject request, since uevents == 1, the kernel will emit KOBJ_OFFLINE for:
/sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYSBUS:00/PNP0C80:00

Can userspace know which memblocks in /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryXX/
correspond to the acpi device /sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYSBUS:00/PNP0C80:00 ?
This will be needed so that userspace tries to offline the memblocks (and only
if successful, issue the eject operation on the acpi device). As far as I see,
we don't create any sysfs links or files for this scenario - can userspace get
this info somehow?

/sys/devices/system/memory/memoryXX/phys_device needs to be properly implemented
for this to work I think, see Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-memory

The following test patch works toward that direction. Let me know if it's of
interest or if there are better ideas /comments.

Subject: [RFC PATCH] acpi / memory-hotplug: implement phys_device

In order for userspace to know which memblocks in:
/sys/devices/system/memory/memoryXX correspond to which acpi memory devices in:
/sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYSBUS:00/PNP0C80:YY,
/sys/devices/system/memory/memoryXX/phys_device should return a name (or index
YY) of the memory device each memblock XX belongs to.

WIth this patch, the acpi mem_hotplug driver keeps a global list of acpi memory
devices (inserted in hotplug_order). The base memory driver checks against this
list in arch_get_memory_phys_device to determine the zero-based index of the
physical memory device each new memblock belongs to.

For initial memory or for non-acpi/hotplug enabled systems, phys_device is
always -1.
