Historically, Linux Zone has been extended reflecting the evolution of HW and SW changes as belows.
Recently, the CXL, a standard open-connectivity technology, is promising and actively developing with different HW characteristics from conventional memory devices.
As memory expander, CXL has a different latency range from DDR memory on DIMM interface due to that it works on PCIe link. Also, CXL is designed to support composable architecture over single and multi-node fabrics so that it would support many usecases for dynamic memory adjustment.
On the understanding, we suggest a new memory zone, ZONE_EXMEM, for CXL memory expander.
