      memblock: introduce a for_each_reserved_mem_region iterator · 8e7a7f86
      Robin Holt 提交于
      Struct page initialisation had been identified as one of the reasons why
      large machines take a long time to boot. Patches were posted a long time ago
      to defer initialisation until they were first used.  This was rejected on
      the grounds it should not be necessary to hurt the fast paths. This series
      reuses much of the work from that time but defers the initialisation of
      memory to kswapd so that one thread per node initialises memory local to
      that node.
      
      After applying the series and setting the appropriate Kconfig variable I
      see this in the boot log on a 64G machine
      
      [    7.383764] kswapd 0 initialised deferred memory in 188ms
      [    7.404253] kswapd 1 initialised deferred memory in 208ms
      [    7.411044] kswapd 3 initialised deferred memory in 216ms
      [    7.411551] kswapd 2 initialised deferred memory in 216ms
      
      On a 1TB machine, I see
      
      [    8.406511] kswapd 3 initialised deferred memory in 1116ms
      [    8.428518] kswapd 1 initialised deferred memory in 1140ms
      [    8.435977] kswapd 0 initialised deferred memory in 1148ms
      [    8.437416] kswapd 2 initialised deferred memory in 1148ms
      
      Once booted the machine appears to work as normal. Boot times were measured
      from the time shutdown was called until ssh was available again.  In the
      64G case, the boot time savings are negligible. On the 1TB machine, the
      savings were 16 seconds.

      This helper function will be used for that expansion.

      mm/memblock: allocate boot time data structures from mirrored memory · a3f5bafc
      Tony Luck 提交于
      Try to allocate all boot time kernel data structures from mirrored
      memory.
      
      If we run out of mirrored memory print warnings, but fall back to using
      non-mirrored memory to make sure that we still boot.
      
      By number of bytes, most of what we allocate at boot time is the page
      structures.  64 bytes per 4K page on x86_64 ...  or about 1.5% of total
      system memory.  For workloads where the bulk of memory is allocated to
      applications this may represent a useful improvement to system
      availability since 1.5% of total memory might be a third of the memory
      allocated to the kernel.

      mm/memblock: add extra "flags" to memblock to allow selection of memory based on attribute · fc6daaf9
      Tony Luck 提交于
      Some high end Intel Xeon systems report uncorrectable memory errors as a
      recoverable machine check.  Linux has included code for some time to
      process these and just signal the affected processes (or even recover
      completely if the error was in a read only page that can be replaced by
      reading from disk).
      
      But we have no recovery path for errors encountered during kernel code
      execution.  Except for some very specific cases were are unlikely to ever
      be able to recover.
      
      Enter memory mirroring. Actually 3rd generation of memory mirroing.
      
      Gen1: All memory is mirrored
      	Pro: No s/w enabling - h/w just gets good data from other side of the
      	     mirror
      	Con: Halves effective memory capacity available to OS/applications
      
      Gen2: Partial memory mirror - just mirror memory begind some memory controllers
      	Pro: Keep more of the capacity
      	Con: Nightmare to enable. Have to choose between allocating from
      	     mirrored memory for safety vs. NUMA local memory for performance
      
      Gen3: Address range partial memory mirror - some mirror on each memory
            controller
      	Pro: Can tune the amount of mirror and keep NUMA performance
      	Con: I have to write memory management code to implement
      
      The current plan is just to use mirrored memory for kernel allocations.
      This has been broken into two phases:
      
      1) This patch series - find the mirrored memory, use it for boot time
         allocations
      
      2) Wade into mm/page_alloc.c and define a ZONE_MIRROR to pick up the
         unused mirrored memory from mm/memblock.c and only give it out to
         select kernel allocations (this is still being scoped because
         page_alloc.c is scary).
      
      This patch (of 3):
      
      Add extra "flags" to memblock to allow selection of memory based on
      attribute.  No functional changes

      list of physically available memory. It differs from the memblock

      mm/memblock: Do some refactoring, enhance API · f1af9d3a
      Philipp Hachtmann 提交于
      Refactor the memblock code and extend the memblock API to make it
      more flexible. With the extended API it is simple to define and
      work with additional memory lists.
      
      The static functions memblock_add_region and __memblock_remove are
      renamed to memblock_add_range and meblock_remove_range and added to
      the memblock API.
      
      The __next_free_mem_range and __next_free_mem_range_rev functions
      are replaced with calls to the more generic list walkers
      __next_mem_range and __next_mem_range_rev.
      
      To walk an arbitrary memory list two new macros for_each_mem_range
      and for_each_mem_range_rev are added. These new macros are used
      to define for_each_free_mem_range and for_each_free_mem_range_reverse.

      mm/memblock: switch to use NUMA_NO_NODE instead of MAX_NUMNODES · b1154233

      It's recommended to use NUMA_NO_NODE everywhere to select "process any
      node" behavior or to indicate that "no node id specified".
      
      Hence, update __next_free_mem_range*() API's to accept both NUMA_NO_NODE
      and MAX_NUMNODES, but emit warning once on MAX_NUMNODES, and correct
      corresponding API's documentation to describe new behavior.  Also,
      update other memblock/nobootmem APIs where MAX_NUMNODES is used
      dirrectly.

      memblock, mem_hotplug: make memblock skip hotpluggable regions if needed · 55ac590c
      Tang Chen 提交于
      Linux kernel cannot migrate pages used by the kernel.  As a result,
      hotpluggable memory used by the kernel won't be able to be hot-removed.
      To solve this problem, the basic idea is to prevent memblock from
      allocating hotpluggable memory for the kernel at early time, and arrange
      all hotpluggable memory in ACPI SRAT(System Resource Affinity Table) as
      ZONE_MOVABLE when initializing zones.
      
      In the previous patches, we have marked hotpluggable memory regions with
      MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG flag in memblock.memory.
      
      In this patch, we make memblock skip these hotpluggable memory regions
      in the default top-down allocation function if movable_node boot option
      is specified.

      In hotplug environment, we want to reserve hotpluggable memory so the
      kernel won't be able to use it.  And when the system is up, we have to
      free these hotpluggable memory to buddy.  So we need to mark these
      memory first.
      
      In order to do so, we need to mark out these special memory in memblock.
      In this patch, we introduce a new "flags" member into memblock_region:
      
         struct memblock_region {
                 phys_addr_t base;
                 phys_addr_t size;
                 unsigned long flags;		/* This is new. */
         #ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP
                 int nid;
         #endif
         };
      
      This patch does the following things:
      1) Add "flags" member to memblock_region.
      2) Modify the following APIs' prototype:
      	memblock_add_region()
      	memblock_insert_region()
      3) Add memblock_reserve_region() to support reserve memory with flags, and keep
         memblock_reserve()'s prototype unmodified.
      4) Modify other APIs to support flags, but keep their prototype unmodified.

      mm/memblock.c: introduce bottom-up allocation mode · 79442ed1
      Tang Chen 提交于
      The Linux kernel cannot migrate pages used by the kernel.  As a result,
      kernel pages cannot be hot-removed.  So we cannot allocate hotpluggable
      memory for the kernel.
      
      ACPI SRAT (System Resource Affinity Table) contains the memory hotplug
      info.  But before SRAT is parsed, memblock has already started to allocate
      memory for the kernel.  So we need to prevent memblock from doing this.
      
      In a memory hotplug system, any numa node the kernel resides in should be
      unhotpluggable.  And for a modern server, each node could have at least
      16GB memory.  So memory around the kernel image is highly likely
      unhotpluggable.
      
      So the basic idea is: Allocate memory from the end of the kernel image and
      to the higher memory.  Since memory allocation before SRAT is parsed won't
      be too much, it could highly likely be in the same node with kernel image.
      
      The current memblock can only allocate memory top-down.  So this patch
      introduces a new bottom-up allocation mode to allocate memory bottom-up.
      And later when we use this allocation direction to allocate memory, we
      will limit the start address above the kernel.

      Don Morris reproduced on a HP z620 workstation, and bisected it to
      commit e8d19552 ("acpi, memory-hotplug: parse SRAT before memblock
      is ready")
      
      It turns out movable_map has some problems, and it breaks several things
      
      1. numa_init is called several times, NOT just for srat. so those
      	nodes_clear(numa_nodes_parsed)
      	memset(&numa_meminfo, 0, sizeof(numa_meminfo))
         can not be just removed.  Need to consider sequence is: numaq, srat, amd, dummy.
         and make fall back path working.
      
      2. simply split acpi_numa_init to early_parse_srat.
         a. that early_parse_srat is NOT called for ia64, so you break ia64.
         b.  for (i = 0; i < MAX_LOCAL_APIC; i++)
      	     set_apicid_to_node(i, NUMA_NO_NODE)
           still left in numa_init. So it will just clear result from early_parse_srat.
           it should be moved before that....
         c.  it breaks ACPI_TABLE_OVERIDE...as the acpi table scan is moved
             early before override from INITRD is settled.
      
      3. that patch TITLE is total misleading, there is NO x86 in the title,
         but it changes critical x86 code. It caused x86 guys did not
         pay attention to find the problem early. Those patches really should
         be routed via tip/x86/mm.
      
      4. after that commit, following range can not use movable ram:
        a. real_mode code.... well..funny, legacy Node0 [0,1M) could be hot-removed?
        b. initrd... it will be freed after booting, so it could be on movable...
        c. crashkernel for kdump...: looks like we can not put kdump kernel above 4G
      	anymore.
        d. init_mem_mapping: can not put page table high anymore.
        e. initmem_init: vmemmap can not be high local node anymore. That is
           not good.
      
      If node is hotplugable, the mem related range like page table and
      vmemmap could be on the that node without problem and should be on that
      node.
      
      We have workaround patch that could fix some problems, but some can not
      be fixed.
      
      So just remove that offending commit and related ones including:
      
       f7210e6c ("mm/memblock.c: use CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP to
          protect movablecore_map in memblock_overlaps_region().")
      
       01a178a9 ("acpi, memory-hotplug: support getting hotplug info from
          SRAT")
      
       27168d38 ("acpi, memory-hotplug: extend movablemem_map ranges to
          the end of node")
      
       e8d19552 ("acpi, memory-hotplug: parse SRAT before memblock is
          ready")
      
       fb06bc8e ("page_alloc: bootmem limit with movablecore_map")
      
       42f47e27 ("page_alloc: make movablemem_map have higher priority")
      
       6981ec31 ("page_alloc: introduce zone_movable_limit[] to keep
          movable limit for nodes")
      
       34b71f1e ("page_alloc: add movable_memmap kernel parameter")
      
       4d59a751 ("x86: get pg_data_t's memory from other node")
      
      Later we should have patches that will make sure kernel put page table
      and vmemmap on local node ram instead of push them down to node0.  Also
      need to find way to put other kernel used ram to local node ram.

      memblock: Reimplement memblock allocation using reverse free area iterator · 7bd0b0f0
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Now that all early memory information is in memblock when enabled, we
      can implement reverse free area iterator and use it to implement NUMA
      aware allocator which is then wrapped for simpler variants instead of
      the confusing and inefficient mending of information in separate NUMA
      aware allocator.
      
      Implement for_each_free_mem_range_reverse(), use it to reimplement
      memblock_find_in_range_node() which in turn is used by all allocators.
      
      The visible allocator interface is inconsistent and can probably use
      some cleanup too.

      there's no user of early_node_map[] left.  Kill early_node_map[] and
      replace ARCH_POPULATES_NODE_MAP with HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP.  Also,
      relocate for_each_mem_pfn_range() and helper from mm.h to memblock.h

      observable difference; however, after the recent changes, there are
      some functions which now would fit memblock.c better than page_alloc.c
      and dependency on HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP instead of HAVE_MEMBLOCK
      doesn't make much sense on some of them.  Further cleanups for

      memblock: Track total size of regions automatically · 1440c4e2
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Total size of memory regions was calculated by memblock_analyze()
      requiring explicitly calling the function between operations which can
      change memory regions and possible users of total size, which is
      cumbersome and fragile.
      
      This patch makes each memblock_type track total size automatically
      with minor modifications to memblock manipulation functions and remove
      requirements on calling memblock_analyze().  [__]memblock_dump_all()
      now also dumps the total size of reserved regions.

      memblock: Kill memblock_init() · fe091c20
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      memblock_init() initializes arrays for regions and memblock itself;
      however, all these can be done with struct initializers and
      memblock_init() can be removed.  This patch kills memblock_init() and
      initializes memblock with struct initializer.
      
      The only difference is that the first dummy entries don't have .nid
      set to MAX_NUMNODES initially.  This doesn't cause any behavior
      difference.

      Add __memblock_dump_all() which dumps memblock configuration whether
      memblock_debug is enabled or not.

      memblock: Make memblock_{add|remove|free|reserve}() return int and update prototypes · 581adcbe
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      memblock_{add|remove|free|reserve}() return either 0 or -errno but had
      long as return type.  Chage it to int.  Also, drop 'extern' from all
      prototypes in memblock.h - they are unnecessary and used
      inconsistently (especially if mm.h is included in the picture).
