As kmem accounting is now either enabled for all cgroups or disabled system-wide, there's no point in having memcg_kmem_online() helper - instead one can use memcg_kmem_enabled() and mem_cgroup_online(), as shrink_slab() now does. There are only two places left where this helper is used - __memcg_kmem_charge() and memcg_create_kmem_cache(). The former can only be called if memcg_kmem_enabled() returned true. Since the cgroup it operates on is online, mem_cgroup_is_root() check will be enough. memcg_create_kmem_cache() can't use mem_cgroup_online() helper instead of memcg_kmem_online(), because it relies on the fact that in memcg_offline_kmem() memcg->kmem_state is changed before memcg_deactivate_kmem_caches() is called, but there we can just open-code the check.

Workingset code was recently made memcg aware, but shadow node shrinker is still global. As a result, one small cgroup can consume all memory available for shadow nodes, possibly hurting other cgroups by reclaiming their shadow nodes, even though reclaim distances stored in its shadow nodes have no effect. To avoid this, we need to make shadow node shrinker memcg aware. The actual work is done in patch 6 of the series. Patches 1 and 2 prepare memcg/shrinker infrastructure for the change. Patch 3 is just a collateral cleanup. Patch 4 makes radix_tree_node accounted, which is necessary for making shadow node shrinker memcg aware. Patch 5 reduces shadow nodes overhead in case workload mostly uses anonymous pages. This patch: Currently, in the legacy hierarchy kmem accounting is off for all cgroups by default and must be enabled explicitly by writing something to memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes. Since we don't support reclaim on hitting kmem limit, nor do we have any plans to implement it, this is likely to be -1, just to enable kmem accounting and limit kernel memory consumption by the memory.limit_in_bytes along with user memory. This user API was introduced when the implementation of kmem accounting lacked slab shrinker support and hence was useless in practice. Things have changed since then - slab shrinkers were made memcg aware, the accounting overhead seems to be negligible, and a failure to charge a kmem allocation should not have critical consequences, because we only account those kernel objects that should be safe to fail. That's why kmem accounting is enabled by default for all cgroups in the default hierarchy, which will eventually replace the legacy one. The ability to enable kmem accounting for some cgroups while keeping it disabled for others is getting difficult to maintain. E.g. to make shadow node shrinker memcg aware (see mm/workingset.c), we need to know the relationship between the number of shadow nodes allocated for a cgroup and the size of its lru list. If kmem accounting is enabled for all cgroups there is no problem, but what should we do if kmem accounting is enabled only for half of cgroups? We've no other choice but use global lru stats while scanning root cgroup's shadow nodes, but that would be wrong if kmem accounting was enabled for all cgroups (which is the case if the unified hierarchy is used), in which case we should use lru stats of the root cgroup's lruvec. That being said, let's enable kmem accounting for all memory cgroups by default. If one finds it unstable or too costly, it can always be disabled system-wide by passing cgroup.memory=nokmem to the kernel at boot time.

Similarly to direct reclaim/compaction, kswapd attempts to combine reclaim and compaction to attempt making memory allocation of given order available. The details differ from direct reclaim e.g. in having high watermark as a goal. The code involved in kswapd's reclaim/compaction decisions has evolved to be quite complex. Testing reveals that it doesn't actually work in at least one scenario, and closer inspection suggests that it could be greatly simplified without compromising on the goal (make high-order page available) or efficiency (don't reclaim too much). The simplification relieas of doing all compaction in kcompactd, which is simply woken up when high watermarks are reached by kswapd's reclaim. The scenario where kswapd compaction doesn't work was found with mmtests test stress-highalloc configured to attempt order-9 allocations without direct reclaim, just waking up kswapd. There was no compaction attempt from kswapd during the whole test. Some added instrumentation shows what happens: - balance_pgdat() sets end_zone to Normal, as it's not balanced - reclaim is attempted on DMA zone, which sets nr_attempted to 99, but it cannot reclaim anything, so sc.nr_reclaimed is 0 - for zones DMA32 and Normal, kswapd_shrink_zone uses testorder=0, so it merely checks if high watermarks were reached for base pages. This is true, so no reclaim is attempted. For DMA, testorder=0 wasn't used, as compaction_suitable() returned COMPACT_SKIPPED - even though the pgdat_needs_compaction flag wasn't set to false, no compaction happens due to the condition sc.nr_reclaimed > nr_attempted being false (as 0 < 99) - priority-- due to nr_reclaimed being 0, repeat until priority reaches 0 pgdat_balanced() is false as only the small zone DMA appears balanced (curiously in that check, watermark appears OK and compaction_suitable() returns COMPACT_PARTIAL, because a lower classzone_idx is used there) Now, even if it was decided that reclaim shouldn't be attempted on the DMA zone, the scenario would be the same, as (sc.nr_reclaimed=0 > nr_attempted=0) is also false. The condition really should use >= as the comment suggests. Then there is a mismatch in the check for setting pgdat_needs_compaction to false using low watermark, while the rest uses high watermark, and who knows what other subtlety. Hopefully this demonstrates that this is unsustainable. Luckily we can simplify this a lot. The reclaim/compaction decisions make sense for direct reclaim scenario, but in kswapd, our primary goal is to reach high watermark in order-0 pages. Afterwards we can attempt compaction just once. Unlike direct reclaim, we don't reclaim extra pages (over the high watermark), the current code already disallows it for good reasons. After this patch, we simply wake up kcompactd to process the pgdat, after we have either succeeded or failed to reach the high watermarks in kswapd, which goes to sleep. We pass kswapd's order and classzone_idx, so kcompactd can apply the same criteria to determine which zones are worth compacting. Note that we use the classzone_idx from wakeup_kswapd(), not balanced_classzone_idx which can include higher zones that kswapd tried to balance too, but didn't consider them in pgdat_balanced(). Since kswapd now cannot create high-order pages itself, we need to adjust how it determines the zones to be balanced. The key element here is adding a "highorder" parameter to zone_balanced, which, when set to false, makes it consider only order-0 watermark instead of the desired higher order (this was done previously by kswapd_shrink_zone(), but not elsewhere). This false is passed for example in pgdat_balanced(). Importantly, wakeup_kswapd() uses true to make sure kswapd and thus kcompactd are woken up for a high-order allocation failure. The last thing is to decide what to do with pageblock_skip bitmap handling. Compaction maintains a pageblock_skip bitmap to record pageblocks where isolation recently failed. This bitmap can be reset by three ways: 1) direct compaction is restarting after going through the full deferred cycle 2) kswapd goes to sleep, and some other direct compaction has previously finished scanning the whole zone and set zone->compact_blockskip_flush. Note that a successful direct compaction clears this flag. 3) compaction was invoked manually via trigger in /proc The case 2) is somewhat fuzzy to begin with, but after introducing kcompactd we should update it. The check for direct compaction in 1), and to set the flush flag in 2) use current_is_kswapd(), which doesn't work for kcompactd. Thus, this patch adds bool direct_compaction to compact_control to use in 2). For the case 1) we remove the check completely - unlike the former kswapd compaction, kcompactd does use the deferred compaction functionality, so flushing tied to restarting from deferred compaction makes sense here. Note that when kswapd goes to sleep, kcompactd is woken up, so it will see the flushed pageblock_skip bits. This is different from when the former kswapd compaction observed the bits and I believe it makes more sense. Kcompactd can afford to be more thorough than a direct compaction trying to limit allocation latency, or kswapd whose primary goal is to reclaim. For testing, I used stress-highalloc configured to do order-9 allocations with GFP_NOWAIT|__GFP_HIGH|__GFP_COMP, so they relied just on kswapd/kcompactd reclaim/compaction (the interfering kernel builds in phases 1 and 2 work as usual): stress-highalloc 4.5-rc1+before 4.5-rc1+after -nodirect -nodirect Success 1 Min 1.00 ( 0.00%) 5.00 (-66.67%) Success 1 Mean 1.40 ( 0.00%) 6.20 (-55.00%) Success 1 Max 2.00 ( 0.00%) 7.00 (-16.67%) Success 2 Min 1.00 ( 0.00%) 5.00 (-66.67%) Success 2 Mean 1.80 ( 0.00%) 6.40 (-52.38%) Success 2 Max 3.00 ( 0.00%) 7.00 (-16.67%) Success 3 Min 34.00 ( 0.00%) 62.00 ( 1.59%) Success 3 Mean 41.80 ( 0.00%) 63.80 ( 1.24%) Success 3 Max 53.00 ( 0.00%) 65.00 ( 2.99%) User 3166.67 3181.09 System 1153.37 1158.25 Elapsed 1768.53 1799.37 4.5-rc1+before 4.5-rc1+after -nodirect -nodirect Direct pages scanned 32938 32797 Kswapd pages scanned 2183166 2202613 Kswapd pages reclaimed 2152359 2143524 Direct pages reclaimed 32735 32545 Percentage direct scans 1% 1% THP fault alloc 579 612 THP collapse alloc 304 316 THP splits 0 0 THP fault fallback 793 778 THP collapse fail 11 16 Compaction stalls 1013 1007 Compaction success 92 67 Compaction failures 920 939 Page migrate success 238457 721374 Page migrate failure 23021 23469 Compaction pages isolated 504695 1479924 Compaction migrate scanned 661390 8812554 Compaction free scanned 13476658 84327916 Compaction cost 262 838 After this patch we see improvements in allocation success rate (especially for phase 3) along with increased compaction activity. The compaction stalls (direct compaction) in the interfering kernel builds (probably THP's) also decreased somewhat thanks to kcompactd activity, yet THP alloc successes improved a bit. Note that elapsed and user time isn't so useful for this benchmark, because of the background interference being unpredictable. It's just to quickly spot some major unexpected differences. System time is somewhat more useful and that didn't increase. Also (after adjusting mmtests' ftrace monitor): Time kswapd awake 2547781 2269241 Time kcompactd awake 0 119253 Time direct compacting 939937 557649 Time kswapd compacting 0 0 Time kcompactd compacting 0 119099 The decrease of overal time spent compacting appears to not match the increased compaction stats. I suspect the tasks get rescheduled and since the ftrace monitor doesn't see that, the reported time is wall time, not CPU time. But arguably direct compactors care about overall latency anyway, whether busy compacting or waiting for CPU doesn't matter. And that latency seems to almost halved. It's also interesting how much time kswapd spent awake just going through all the priorities and failing to even try compacting, over and over. We can also configure stress-highalloc to perform both direct reclaim/compaction and wakeup kswapd/kcompactd, by using GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_HIGH|__GFP_COMP: stress-highalloc 4.5-rc1+before 4.5-rc1+after -direct -direct Success 1 Min 4.00 ( 0.00%) 9.00 (-50.00%) Success 1 Mean 8.00 ( 0.00%) 10.00 (-19.05%) Success 1 Max 12.00 ( 0.00%) 11.00 ( 15.38%) Success 2 Min 4.00 ( 0.00%) 9.00 (-50.00%) Success 2 Mean 8.20 ( 0.00%) 10.00 (-16.28%) Success 2 Max 13.00 ( 0.00%) 11.00 ( 8.33%) Success 3 Min 75.00 ( 0.00%) 74.00 ( 1.33%) Success 3 Mean 75.60 ( 0.00%) 75.20 ( 0.53%) Success 3 Max 77.00 ( 0.00%) 76.00 ( 0.00%) User 3344.73 3246.04 System 1194.24 1172.29 Elapsed 1838.04 1836.76 4.5-rc1+before 4.5-rc1+after -direct -direct Direct pages scanned 125146 120966 Kswapd pages scanned 2119757 2135012 Kswapd pages reclaimed 2073183 2108388 Direct pages reclaimed 124909 120577 Percentage direct scans 5% 5% THP fault alloc 599 652 THP collapse alloc 323 354 THP splits 0 0 THP fault fallback 806 793 THP collapse fail 17 16 Compaction stalls 2457 2025 Compaction success 906 518 Compaction failures 1551 1507 Page migrate success 2031423 2360608 Page migrate failure 32845 40852 Compaction pages isolated 4129761 4802025 Compaction migrate scanned 11996712 21750613 Compaction free scanned 214970969 344372001 Compaction cost 2271 2694 In this scenario, this patch doesn't change the overall success rate as direct compaction already tries all it can. There's however significant reduction in direct compaction stalls (that is, the number of allocations that went into direct compaction). The number of successes (i.e. direct compaction stalls that ended up with successful allocation) is reduced by the same number. This means the offload to kcompactd is working as expected, and direct compaction is reduced either due to detecting contention, or compaction deferred by kcompactd. In the previous version of this patchset there was some apparent reduction of success rate, but the changes in this version (such as using sync compaction only), new baseline kernel, and/or averaging results from 5 executions (my bet), made this go away.

Memory compaction can be currently performed in several contexts: - kswapd balancing a zone after a high-order allocation failure - direct compaction to satisfy a high-order allocation, including THP page fault attemps - khugepaged trying to collapse a hugepage - manually from /proc The purpose of compaction is two-fold. The obvious purpose is to satisfy a (pending or future) high-order allocation, and is easy to evaluate. The other purpose is to keep overal memory fragmentation low and help the anti-fragmentation mechanism. The success wrt the latter purpose is more The current situation wrt the purposes has a few drawbacks: - compaction is invoked only when a high-order page or hugepage is not available (or manually). This might be too late for the purposes of keeping memory fragmentation low. - direct compaction increases latency of allocations. Again, it would be better if compaction was performed asynchronously to keep fragmentation low, before the allocation itself comes. - (a special case of the previous) the cost of compaction during THP page faults can easily offset the benefits of THP. - kswapd compaction appears to be complex, fragile and not working in some scenarios. It could also end up compacting for a high-order allocation request when it should be reclaiming memory for a later order-0 request. To improve the situation, we should be able to benefit from an equivalent of kswapd, but for compaction - i.e. a background thread which responds to fragmentation and the need for high-order allocations (including hugepages) somewhat proactively. One possibility is to extend the responsibilities of kswapd, which could however complicate its design too much. It should be better to let kswapd handle reclaim, as order-0 allocations are often more critical than high-order ones. Another possibility is to extend khugepaged, but this kthread is a single instance and tied to THP configs. This patch goes with the option of a new set of per-node kthreads called kcompactd, and lays the foundations, without introducing any new tunables. The lifecycle mimics kswapd kthreads, including the memory hotplug hooks. For compaction, kcompactd uses the standard compaction_suitable() and ompact_finished() criteria and the deferred compaction functionality. Unlike direct compaction, it uses only sync compaction, as there's no allocation latency to minimize. This patch doesn't yet add a call to wakeup_kcompactd. The kswapd compact/reclaim loop for high-order pages will be replaced by waking up kcompactd in the next patch with the description of what's wrong with the old approach. Waking up of the kcompactd threads is also tied to kswapd activity and follows these rules: - we don't want to affect any fastpaths, so wake up kcompactd only from the slowpath, as it's done for kswapd - if kswapd is doing reclaim, it's more important than compaction, so don't invoke kcompactd until kswapd goes to sleep - the target order used for kswapd is passed to kcompactd Future possible future uses for kcompactd include the ability to wake up kcompactd on demand in special situations, such as when hugepages are not available (currently not done due to __GFP_NO_KSWAPD) or when a fragmentation event (i.e. __rmqueue_fallback()) occurs. It's also possible to perform periodic compaction with kcompactd.

During work on kcompactd integration I have spotted a confusing check of balance_classzone_idx, which I believe is bogus. The balanced_classzone_idx is filled by balance_pgdat() as the highest zone it attempted to balance. This was introduced by commit dc83edd9 ("mm: kswapd: use the classzone idx that kswapd was using for sleeping_prematurely()"). The intention is that (as expressed in today's function names), the value used for kswapd_shrink_zone() calls in balance_pgdat() is the same as for the decisions in kswapd_try_to_sleep(). An unwanted side-effect of that commit was breaking the checks in kswapd() whether there was another kswapd_wakeup with a tighter (=lower) classzone_idx. Commits 215ddd66 ("mm: vmscan: only read new_classzone_idx from pgdat when reclaiming successfully") and d2ebd0f6 ("kswapd: avoid unnecessary rebalance after an unsuccessful balancing") tried to fixed, but apparently introduced a bogus check that this patch removes. Consider zone indexes X < Y < Z, where: - Z is the value used for the first kswapd wakeup. - Y is returned as balanced_classzone_idx, which means zones with index higher than Y (including Z) were found to be unreclaimable. - X is the value used for the second kswapd wakeup The new wakeup with value X means that kswapd is now supposed to balance harder all zones with index <= X. But instead, due to Y < Z, it will go sleep and won't read the new value X. This is subtly wrong. The effect of this patch is that kswapd will react better in some situations, where e.g. the first wakeup is for ZONE_DMA32, the second is for ZONE_DMA, and due to unreclaimable ZONE_NORMAL. Before this patch, kswapd would go sleep instead of reclaiming ZONE_DMA harder. I expect these situations are very rare, and more value is in better maintainability due to the removal of confusing and bogus check.

Currently, tree_{stat,events} helpers can only get one stat index at a time, so when there are a lot of stats to be reported one has to call it over and over again (see memory_stat_show). This is neither effective, nor does it look good. Instead, let's make these helpers take a snapshot of all available counters.

Slab pages are charged in two steps. First, an appropriate per memcg cache is selected (see memcg_kmem_get_cache) basing on the current context, then the new slab page is charged to the memory cgroup which the selected cache was created for (see memcg_charge_slab -> __memcg_kmem_charge_memcg). It is OK to bypass kmemcg charge at step 1, but if step 1 succeeded and we successfully allocated a new slab page, step 2 must be performed, otherwise we would get a per memcg kmem cache which contains a slab that does not hold a reference to the memory cgroup owning the cache. Since per memcg kmem caches are destroyed on memcg css free, this could result in freeing a cache while there are still active objects in it. However, currently we will bypass slab page charge if the memory cgroup owning the cache is offline (see __memcg_kmem_charge_memcg). This is very unlikely to occur in practice, because for this to happen a process must be migrated to a different cgroup and the old cgroup must be removed while the process is in kmalloc somewhere between steps 1 and 2 (e.g. trying to allocate a new page). Nevertheless, it's still better to eliminate such a possibility.

When the OOM killer scans tasks and encounters a PF_EXITING one, it force-selects that task regardless of the score. The problem is that if that task got stuck waiting for some state the allocation site is holding, the OOM reaper can not move on to the next best victim. Frankly, I don't even know why we check for exiting tasks in the OOM killer. We've tried direct reclaim at least 15 times by the time we decide the system is OOM, there was plenty of time to exit and free memory; and a task might exit voluntarily right after we issue a kill. This is testing pure noise. Remove it.

Migration accounting in the memory controller used to have to handle both oldpage and newpage being on the LRU already; fuse's page cache replacement used to pass a recycled newpage that had been uncharged but not freed and removed from the LRU, and the memcg migration code used to uncharge oldpage to "pass on" the existing charge to newpage. Nowadays, pages are no longer uncharged when truncated from the page cache, but rather only at free time, so if a LRU page is recycled in page cache replacement it'll also still be charged. And we bail out of the charge transfer altogether in that case. Tell commit_charge() that we know newpage is not on the LRU, to avoid taking the zone->lru_lock unnecessarily from the migration path. But also, oldpage is no longer uncharged inside migration. We only use oldpage for its page->mem_cgroup and page size, so we don't care about its LRU state anymore either.

There is a performance drop report due to hugepage allocation and in there half of cpu time are spent on pageblock_pfn_to_page() in compaction [1]. In that workload, compaction is triggered to make hugepage but most of pageblocks are un-available for compaction due to pageblock type and skip bit so compaction usually fails. Most costly operations in this case is to find valid pageblock while scanning whole zone range. To check if pageblock is valid to compact, valid pfn within pageblock is required and we can obtain it by calling pageblock_pfn_to_page(). This function checks whether pageblock is in a single zone and return valid pfn if possible. Problem is that we need to check it every time before scanning pageblock even if we re-visit it and this turns out to be very expensive in this workload. Although we have no way to skip this pageblock check in the system where hole exists at arbitrary position, we can use cached value for zone continuity and just do pfn_to_page() in the system where hole doesn't exist. This optimization considerably speeds up in above workload. Before vs After Max: 1096 MB/s vs 1325 MB/s Min: 635 MB/s 1015 MB/s Avg: 899 MB/s 1194 MB/s Avg is improved by roughly 30% [2].

pageblock_pfn_to_page() is used to check there is valid pfn and all pages in the pageblock is in a single zone. If there is a hole in the pageblock, passing arbitrary position to pageblock_pfn_to_page() could cause to skip whole pageblock scanning, instead of just skipping the hole page. For deterministic behaviour, it's better to always pass pageblock aligned range to pageblock_pfn_to_page(). It will also help further optimization on pageblock_pfn_to_page() in the following patch.

free_pfn and compact_cached_free_pfn are the pointer that remember restart position of freepage scanner. When they are reset or invalid, we set them to zone_end_pfn because freepage scanner works in reverse direction. But, because zone range is defined as [zone_start_pfn, zone_end_pfn), zone_end_pfn is invalid to access. Therefore, we should not store it to free_pfn and compact_cached_free_pfn. Instead, we need to store zone_end_pfn - 1 to them. There is one more thing we should consider. Freepage scanner scan reversely by pageblock unit. If free_pfn and compact_cached_free_pfn are set to middle of pageblock, it regards that sitiation as that it already scans front part of pageblock so we lose opportunity to scan there. To fix-up, this patch do round_down() to guarantee that reset position will be pageblock aligned. Note that thanks to the current pageblock_pfn_to_page() implementation, actual access to zone_end_pfn doesn't happen until now. But, following patch will change pageblock_pfn_to_page() so this patch is needed from now on.

Changing a page's memcg association complicates dealing with the page, so we want to limit this as much as possible. Page migration e.g. does not have to do that. Just like page cache replacement, it can forcibly charge a replacement page, and then uncharge the old page when it gets freed. Temporarily overcharging the cgroup by a single page is not an issue in practice, and charging is so cheap nowadays that this is much preferrable to the headache of messing with live pages. The only place that still changes the page->mem_cgroup binding of live pages is when pages move along with a task to another cgroup. But that path isolates the page from the LRU, takes the page lock, and the move lock (lock_page_memcg()). That means page->mem_cgroup is always stable in callers that have the page isolated from the LRU or locked. Lighter unlocked paths, like writeback accounting, can use lock_page_memcg().

Cache thrash detection (see a528910e "mm: thrash detection-based file cache sizing" for details) currently only works on the system level, not inside cgroups. Worse, as the refaults are compared to the global number of active cache, cgroups might wrongfully get all their refaults activated when their pages are hotter than those of others. Move the refault machinery from the zone to the lruvec, and then tag eviction entries with the memcg ID. This makes the thrash detection work correctly inside cgroups.

For per-cgroup thrash detection, we need to store the memcg ID inside the radix tree cookie as well. However, on 32 bit that doesn't leave enough bits for the eviction timestamp to cover the necessary range of recently evicted pages. The radix tree entry would look like this: [ RADIX_TREE_EXCEPTIONAL(2) | ZONEID(2) | MEMCGID(16) | EVICTION(12) ] 12 bits means 4096 pages, means 16M worth of recently evicted pages. But refaults are actionable up to distances covering half of memory. To not miss refaults, we have to stretch out the range at the cost of how precisely we can tell when a page was evicted. This way we can shave off lower bits from the eviction timestamp until the necessary range is covered. E.g. grouping evictions into 1M buckets (256 pages) will stretch the longest representable refault distance to 4G. This patch implements eviction buckets that are automatically sized according to the available bits and the necessary refault range, in preparation for per-cgroup thrash detection. The maximum actionable distance is currently half of memory, but to support memory hotplug of up to 200% of boot-time memory, we size the buckets to cover double the distance. Beyond that, thrashing won't be detectable anymore. During boot, the kernel will print out the exact parameters, like so: [ 0.113929] workingset: timestamp_bits=12 max_order=18 bucket_order=6 In this example, there are 12 radix entry bits available for the eviction timestamp, to cover a maximum distance of 2^18 pages (this is a 1G machine). Consequently, evictions must be grouped into buckets of 2^6 pages, or 256K.

These patches tag the page cache radix tree eviction entries with the memcg an evicted page belonged to, thus making per-cgroup LRU reclaim work properly and be as adaptive to new cache workingsets as global reclaim already is. This should have been part of the original thrash detection patch series, but was deferred due to the complexity of those patches. This patch (of 5): So far the only sites that needed to exclude charge migration to stabilize page->mem_cgroup have been per-cgroup page statistics, hence the name mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat(). But per-cgroup thrash detection will add another site that needs to ensure page->mem_cgroup lifetime. Rename these locking functions to the more generic lock_page_memcg() and unlock_page_memcg(). Since charge migration is a cgroup1 feature only, we might be able to delete it at some point, and these now easy to identify locking sites along with it.

Currently, all newly added memory blocks remain in 'offline' state unless someone onlines them, some linux distributions carry special udev rules like: SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ACTION=="add", ATTR{state}=="offline", ATTR{state}="online" to make this happen automatically. This is not a great solution for virtual machines where memory hotplug is being used to address high memory pressure situations as such onlining is slow and a userspace process doing this (udev) has a chance of being killed by the OOM killer as it will probably require to allocate some memory. Introduce default policy for the newly added memory blocks in /sys/devices/system/memory/auto_online_blocks file with two possible values: "offline" which preserves the current behavior and "online" which causes all newly added memory blocks to go online as soon as they're added.
