      memory hotplug: release memory regions in PAGES_PER_SECTION chunks · de7f0cba
      Nathan Fontenot 提交于
      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.

      vmscan: move isolate_lru_page() to vmscan.c · 62695a84
      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

      memory hotplug: free memmaps allocated by bootmem · 0c0a4a51
      Yasunori Goto 提交于
      This patch is to free memmaps which is allocated by bootmem.
      
      Freeing usemap is not necessary.  The pages of usemap may be necessary for
      other sections.
      
      If removing section is last section on the node, its section is the final user
      of usemap page.  (usemaps are allocated on its section by previous patch.) But
      it shouldn't be freed too, because the section must be logical offline state
      which all pages are isolated against page allocater.  If it is freed, page
      alloctor may use it which will be removed physically soon.  It will be
      disaster.  So, this patch keeps it as it is.

      memory hotplug: register section/node id to free · 04753278
      Yasunori Goto 提交于
      This patch set is to free pages which is allocated by bootmem for
      memory-hotremove.  Some structures of memory management are allocated by
      bootmem.  ex) memmap, etc.
      
      To remove memory physically, some of them must be freed according to
      circumstance.  This patch set makes basis to free those pages, and free
      memmaps.
      
      Basic my idea is using remain members of struct page to remember information
      of users of bootmem (section number or node id).  When the section is
      removing, kernel can confirm it.  By this information, some issues can be
      solved.
      
        1) When the memmap of removing section is allocated on other
           section by bootmem, it should/can be free.
        2) When the memmap of removing section is allocated on the
           same section, it shouldn't be freed. Because the section has to be
           logical memory offlined already and all pages must be isolated against
           page allocater. If it is freed, page allocator may use it which will
           be removed physically soon.
        3) When removing section has other section's memmap,
           kernel will be able to show easily which section should be removed
           before it for user. (Not implemented yet)
        4) When the above case 2), the page isolation will be able to check and skip
           memmap's page when logical memory offline (offline_pages()).
           Current page isolation code fails in this case because this page is
           just reserved page and it can't distinguish this pages can be
           removed or not. But, it will be able to do by this patch.
           (Not implemented yet.)
        5) The node information like pgdat has similar issues. But, this
           will be able to be solved too by this.
           (Not implemented yet, but, remembering node id in the pages.)
      
      Fortunately, current bootmem allocator just keeps PageReserved flags,
      and doesn't use any other members of page struct. The users of
      bootmem doesn't use them too.
      
      This patch:
      
      This is to register information which is node or section's id.  Kernel can
      distinguish which node/section uses the pages allcated by bootmem.  This is
      basis for hot-remove sections or nodes.

      hotplug-memory: make online_page() common · 180c06ef
      Jeremy Fitzhardinge 提交于
      All architectures use an effectively identical definition of online_page(), so
      just make it common code.  x86-64, ia64, powerpc and sh are actually
      identical; x86-32 is slightly different.
      
      x86-32's differences arise because it puts its hotplug pages in the highmem
      zone.  We can handle this in the generic code by inspecting the page to see if
      its in highmem, and update the totalhigh_pages count appropriately.  This
      leaves init_32.c:free_new_highpage with a single caller, so I folded it into
      add_one_highpage_init.
      
      I also removed an incorrect comment referring to the NUMA case; any NUMA
      details have already been dealt with by the time online_page() is called.

      Page allocator: clean up pcp draining functions · 9f8f2172

      - Add comments explaing how drain_pages() works.
      
      - Eliminate useless functions
      
      - Rename drain_all_local_pages to drain_all_pages(). It does drain
        all pages not only those of the local processor.
      
      - Eliminate useless interrupt off / on sequences. drain_pages()
        disables interrupts on its own. The execution thread is
        pinned to processor by the caller. So there is no need to
        disable interrupts.
      
      - Put drain_all_pages() declaration in gfp.h and remove the
        declarations from suspend.h and from mm/memory_hotplug.c
      
      - Make software suspend call drain_all_pages(). The draining
        of processor local pages is may not the right approach if
        software suspend wants to support SMP. If they call drain_all_pages
        then we can make drain_pages() static.

      [PATCH] Get rid of zone_table[] · 89689ae7
      Christoph Lameter 提交于
      The zone table is mostly not needed.  If we have a node in the page flags
      then we can get to the zone via NODE_DATA() which is much more likely to be
      already in the cpu cache.
      
      In case of SMP and UP NODE_DATA() is a constant pointer which allows us to
      access an exact replica of zonetable in the node_zones field.  In all of
      the above cases there will be no need at all for the zone table.
      
      The only remaining case is if in a NUMA system the node numbers do not fit
      into the page flags.  In that case we make sparse generate a table that
      maps sections to nodes and use that table to to figure out the node number.
       This table is sized to fit in a single cache line for the known 32 bit
      NUMA platform which makes it very likely that the information can be
      obtained without a cache miss.
      
      For sparsemem the zone table seems to be have been fairly large based on
      the maximum possible number of sections and the number of zones per node.
      There is some memory saving by removing zone_table.  The main benefit is to
      reduce the cache foootprint of the VM from the frequent lookups of zones.
      Plus it simplifies the page allocator.

      [PATCH] cpuset: top_cpuset tracks hotplug changes to node_online_map · 38837fc7
      Paul Jackson 提交于
      Change the list of memory nodes allowed to tasks in the top (root) nodeset
      to dynamically track what cpus are online, using a call to a cpuset hook
      from the memory hotplug code.  Make this top cpus file read-only.
      
      On systems that have cpusets configured in their kernel, but that aren't
      actively using cpusets (for some distros, this covers the majority of
      systems) all tasks end up in the top cpuset.
      
      If that system does support memory hotplug, then these tasks cannot make
      use of memory nodes that are added after system boot, because the memory
      nodes are not allowed in the top cpuset.  This is a surprising regression
      over earlier kernels that didn't have cpusets enabled.
      
      One key motivation for this change is to remain consistent with the
      behaviour for the top_cpuset's 'cpus', which is also read-only, and which
      automatically tracks the cpu_online_map.
      
      This change also has the minor benefit that it fixes a long standing,
      little noticed, minor bug in cpusets.  The cpuset performance tweak to
      short circuit the cpuset_zone_allowed() check on systems with just a single
      cpuset (see 'number_of_cpusets', in linux/cpuset.h) meant that simply
      changing the 'mems' of the top_cpuset had no affect, even though the change
      (the write system call) appeared to succeed.  With the following change,
      that write to the 'mems' file fails -EACCES, and the 'mems' file stubbornly
      refuses to be changed via user space writes.  Thus no one should be mislead
      into thinking they've changed the top_cpusets's 'mems' when in affect they
      haven't.
      
      In order to keep the behaviour of cpusets consistent between systems
      actively making use of them and systems not using them, this patch changes
      the behaviour of the 'mems' file in the top (root) cpuset, making it read
      only, and making it automatically track the value of node_online_map.  Thus
      tasks in the top cpuset will have automatic use of hot plugged memory nodes
      allowed by their cpuset.
