[PATCH] libnvdimm: introduce 'flags' attribute for DIMM 'lock' and 'alias' status

From: Dan Williams
Date: Mon Sep 25 2017 - 16:56:55 EST


Given that we now how have two mechanisms for a DIMM to indicate that it
is locked:

* NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL 'get_config_size' _DSM command

* ACPI 6.2 Label Storage Read / Write commands

...export the generic libnvdimm DIMM status in a new 'flags' attribute.

This attribute can also reflect the 'alias' state which indicates
whether the nvdimm core is enforcing labels for aliased-region-capacity
that the given dimm is an interleave-set member.
