Currently, if CONFIG_SCSI_HISI_SAS_DEBUGFS_DEFAULT_ENABLE is enabled, the
memory space used by DFX is allocated during device initialization, which
occupies a large number of memory resources. The memory usage before and
after the driver is loaded is as follows:
Memory usage before the driver is loaded:
$ free -m
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 867352 2578 864037 11 735 861681
Swap: 4095 0 4095
Memory usage after the driver which include 4 HBAs is loaded:
$ insmod hisi_sas_v3_hw.ko
$ free -m
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 867352 4760 861848 11 743 859495
Swap: 4095 0 4095
The driver with 4 HBAs connected will allocate about 110 MB of memory
without enabling debugfs.
Therefore, to avoid wasting memory resources, DFX memory is allocated
during dump triggering. The dump may fail due to memory allocation
failure. After this change, each dump costs about 10 MB of memory, and each
dump lasts about 100 ms.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
