      mem-hotplug: fix potential race while building zonelist for new populated zone · 4eaf3f64
      Haicheng Li 提交于
      Add global mutex zonelists_mutex to fix the possible race:
      
           CPU0                                  CPU1                    CPU2
      (1) zone->present_pages += online_pages;
      (2)                                       build_all_zonelists();
      (3)                                                               alloc_page();
      (4)                                                               free_page();
      (5) build_all_zonelists();
      (6)   __build_all_zonelists();
      (7)     zone->pageset = alloc_percpu();
      
      In step (3,4), zone->pageset still points to boot_pageset, so bad
      things may happen if 2+ nodes are in this state. Even if only 1 node
      is accessing the boot_pageset, (3) may still consume too much memory
      to fail the memory allocations in step (7).
      
      Besides, atomic operation ensures alloc_percpu() in step (7) will never fail
      since there is a new fresh memory block added in step(6).

      with dynamically allocated per_cpu_pageset struct for all possible CPUs:
      
          1) Detach zone->pageset from the shared boot_pageset
             at end of __build_all_zonelists().

      Otherwises, multiple zones of different nodes would share same boot strapping

      cpu/mem hotplug: enable CPUs online before local memory online · cf23422b
      minskey guo 提交于
      Enable users to online CPUs even if the CPUs belongs to a numa node which
      doesn't have onlined local memory.
      
      The zonlists(pg_data_t.node_zonelists[]) of a numa node are created either
      in system boot/init period, or at the time of local memory online.  For a
      numa node without onlined local memory, its zonelists are not initialized
      at present.  As a result, any memory allocation operations executed by
      CPUs within this node will fail.  In fact, an out-of-memory error is
      triggered when attempt to online CPUs before memory comes to online.
      
      This patch tries to create zonelists for such numa nodes, so that the
      memory allocation for this node can be fallback'ed to other nodes.

      Rakib Mullick 提交于
      __free_pages_bootmem() is a __meminit function - which has been called
      from put_pages_bootmem thus causes a section mismatch warning.
      
       We were warned by the following warning:
      
        LD      mm/built-in.o

      The function put_page_bootmem() references
      the function __meminit __free_pages_bootmem().
      This is often because put_page_bootmem lacks a __meminit

      ksm: memory hotremove migration only · 62b61f61
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      The previous patch enables page migration of ksm pages, but that soon gets
      into trouble: not surprising, since we're using the ksm page lock to lock
      operations on its stable_node, but page migration switches the page whose
      lock is to be used for that.  Another layer of locking would fix it, but
      do we need that yet?
      
      Do we actually need page migration of ksm pages?  Yes, memory hotremove
      needs to offline sections of memory: and since we stopped allocating ksm
      pages with GFP_HIGHUSER, they will tend to be GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE
      candidates for migration.
      
      But KSM is currently unconscious of NUMA issues, happily merging pages
      from different NUMA nodes: at present the rule must be, not to use
      MADV_MERGEABLE where you care about NUMA.  So no, NUMA page migration of
      ksm pages does not make sense yet.
      
      So, to complete support for ksm swapping we need to make hotremove safe.
      ksm_memory_callback() take ksm_thread_mutex when MEM_GOING_OFFLINE and
      release it when MEM_OFFLINE or MEM_CANCEL_OFFLINE.  But if mapped pages
      are freed before migration reaches them, stable_nodes may be left still
      pointing to struct pages which have been removed from the system: the
      stable_node needs to identify a page by pfn rather than page pointer, then
      it can safely prune them when MEM_OFFLINE.
      
      And make NUMA migration skip PageKsm pages where it skips PageReserved.
      But it's only when we reach unmap_and_move() that the page lock is taken
      and we can be sure that raised pagecount has prevented a PageAnon from
      being upgraded: so add offlining arg to migrate_pages(), to migrate ksm
      page when offlining (has sufficient locking) but reject it otherwise.

      walk system ram range · 908eedc6
      KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 提交于
      Originally, walk_memory_resource() was introduced to traverse all memory
      of "System RAM" for detecting memory hotplug/unplug range.  For doing so,
      flags of IORESOUCE_MEM|IORESOURCE_BUSY was used and this was enough for
      memory hotplug.
      
      But for using other purpose, /proc/kcore, this may includes some firmware
      area marked as IORESOURCE_BUSY | IORESOUCE_MEM.  This patch makes the
      check strict to find out busy "System RAM".
      
      Note: PPC64 keeps their own walk_memory_resouce(), which walk through
      ppc64's lmb informaton.  Because old kclist_add() is called per lmb, this
      patch makes no difference in behavior, finally.
      
      And this patch removes CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG check from this function.
      Because pfn_valid() just show "there is memmap or not* and cannot be used
      for "there is physical memory or not", this function is useful in generic
      to scan physical memory range.

      Show node to memory section relationship with symlinks in sysfs
      
      Add /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/memoryY symlinks for all
      the memory sections located on nodeX.  For example:
      /sys/devices/system/node/node1/memory135 -> ../../memory/memory135
      indicates that memory section 135 resides on node1.
      
      Also revises documentation to cover this change as well as updating
      Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-memory to include descriptions
      of memory hotremove files 'phys_device', 'phys_index', and 'state'
      that were previously not described there.
      
      In addition to it always being a good policy to provide users with
      the maximum possible amount of physical location information for
      resources that can be hot-added and/or hot-removed, the following
      are some (but likely not all) of the user benefits provided by
      this change.
      Immediate:
        - Provides information needed to determine the specific node
          on which a defective DIMM is located.  This will reduce system
          downtime when the node or defective DIMM is swapped out.
        - Prevents unintended onlining of a memory section that was
          previously offlined due to a defective DIMM.  This could happen
          during node hot-add when the user or node hot-add assist script
          onlines _all_ offlined sections due to user or script inability
          to identify the specific memory sections located on the hot-added
          node.  The consequences of reintroducing the defective memory
          could be ugly.
        - Provides information needed to vary the amount and distribution
          of memory on specific nodes for testing or debugging purposes.
      Future:
        - Will provide information needed to identify the memory
          sections that need to be offlined prior to physical removal
          of a specific node.
      
      Symlink creation during boot was tested on 2-node x86_64, 2-node
      ppc64, and 2-node ia64 systems.  Symlink creation during physical
      memory hot-add tested on a 2-node x86_64 system.

      memory hotplug: release memory regions in PAGES_PER_SECTION chunks · de7f0cba

      During hotplug memory remove, memory regions should be released on a
      PAGES_PER_SECTION size chunks.  This mirrors the code in add_memory where
      resources are requested on a PAGES_PER_SECTION size.
      
      Attempting to release the entire memory region fails because there is not
      a single resource for the total number of pages being removed.  Instead
      the resources for the pages are split in PAGES_PER_SECTION size chunks as
      requested during memory add.

      Nick Piggin 提交于
      On large memory systems, the VM can spend way too much time scanning
      through pages that it cannot (or should not) evict from memory.  Not only
      does it use up CPU time, but it also provokes lock contention and can
      leave large systems under memory presure in a catatonic state.
      
      This patch series improves VM scalability by:
      
      1) putting filesystem backed, swap backed and unevictable pages
         onto their own LRUs, so the system only scans the pages that it
         can/should evict from memory
      
      2) switching to two handed clock replacement for the anonymous LRUs,
         so the number of pages that need to be scanned when the system
         starts swapping is bound to a reasonable number
      
      3) keeping unevictable pages off the LRU completely, so the
         VM does not waste CPU time scanning them. ramfs, ramdisk,
         SHM_LOCKED shared memory segments and mlock()ed VMA pages
         are keept on the unevictable list.
      
      This patch:
      
      isolate_lru_page logically belongs to be in vmscan.c than migrate.c.
      
      It is tough, because we don't need that function without memory migration
      so there is a valid argument to have it in migrate.c.  However a
      subsequent patch needs to make use of it in the core mm, so we can happily
      move it to vmscan.c.
      
      Also, make the function a little more generic by not requiring that it
      adds an isolated page to a given list.  Callers can do that.
      
      	Note that we now have '__isolate_lru_page()', that does
      	something quite different, visible outside of vmscan.c
      	for use with memory controller.  Methinks we need to
      	rationalize these names/purposes.	--lts

      mm: cleanup to make remove_memory() arch-neutral · 71088785
      Badari Pulavarty 提交于
      There is nothing architecture specific about remove_memory().
      remove_memory() function is common for all architectures which support
      hotplug memory remove.  Instead of duplicating it in every architecture,
      collapse them into arch neutral function.

      memory_hotplug: always initialize pageblock bitmap · 76cdd58e
      Heiko Carstens 提交于
      Trying to online a new memory section that was added via memory hotplug
      sometimes results in crashes when the new pages are added via __free_page.
       Reason for that is that the pageblock bitmap isn't initialized and hence
      contains random stuff.  That means that get_pageblock_migratetype()
      returns also random stuff and therefore
      
      	list_add(&page->lru,
      		&zone->free_area[order].free_list[migratetype]);
      
      in __free_one_page() tries to do a list_add to something that isn't even
      necessarily a list.
      
      This happens since 86051ca5 ("mm: fix
      usemap initialization") which makes sure that the pageblock bitmap gets
      only initialized for pages present in a zone.  Unfortunately for hot-added
      memory the zones "grow" after the memmap and the pageblock memmap have
      been initialized.  Which means that the new pages have an unitialized
      bitmap.  To solve this the calls to grow_zone_span() and grow_pgdat_span()
      are moved to __add_zone() just before the initialization happens.
      
      The patch also moves the two functions since __add_zone() is the only
      caller and I didn't want to add a forward declaration.
