CONFIG_ACPI_CONTAINER: Container and Module Devices

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_ACPI_CONTAINER has multiple definitions:

Container and Module Devices found in drivers/acpi/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_ACPI_CONTAINER:

• prompt: Container and Module Devices
• type: bool
• depends on: (none)
• defined in drivers/acpi/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 3.9–3.19, 4.0–4.20, 5.0–5.19, 6.0–6.8, 6.9-rc+HEAD
• modules built: container

Help text

This driver supports ACPI Container and Module devices (IDs ACPI0004, PNP0A05, and PNP0A06).

This helps support hotplug of nodes, CPUs, and memory.

Container and Module Devices (EXPERIMENTAL) found in drivers/acpi/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_ACPI_CONTAINER:

• prompt: Container and Module Devices (EXPERIMENTAL)
• type: tristate
• depends on: CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL
• defined in drivers/acpi/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 2.6.30–2.6.39, 3.0–3.8
• modules built: container

Help text

This driver supports ACPI Container and Module devices (IDs ACPI0004, PNP0A05, and PNP0A06).

This helps support hotplug of nodes, CPUs, and memory.

To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called container.

ACPI0004,PNP0A05 and PNP0A06 Container Driver (EXPERIMENTAL) found in drivers/acpi/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_ACPI_CONTAINER:

• prompt: ACPI0004,PNP0A05 and PNP0A06 Container Driver (EXPERIMENTAL)
• type: tristate
• depends on: CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL
• defined in drivers/acpi/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 2.6.11–2.6.29
• modules built: container

Help text

This allows _physical_ insertion and removal of CPUs and memory. This can be useful, for example, on NUMA machines that support ACPI based physical hotplug of nodes, or non-NUMA machines that support physical cpu/memory hot-plug.

If one selects "m", this driver can be loaded with "modprobe container".
