      memory hotplug: free memmaps allocated by bootmem · 0c0a4a51
      由 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
      由 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
      由 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
      由 Christoph Lameter 提交于 
      - 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.

      memory hotplug: rearrange memory hotplug notifier · 7b78d335
      由 Yasunori Goto 提交于 
      Current memory notifier has some defects yet.  (Fortunately, nothing uses
it.) This patch is to fix and rearrange for them.

  - Add information of start_pfn, nr_pages, and node id if node status is
    changes from/to memoryless node for callback functions.
    Callbacks can't do anything without those information.
  - Add notification going-online status.
    It is necessary for creating per node structure before the node's
    pages are available.
  - Move GOING_OFFLINE status notification after page isolation.
    It is good place for return memory like cache for callback,
    because returned page is not used again.
  - Make CANCEL events for rollingback when error occurs.
  - Delete MEM_MAPPING_INVALID notification. It will be not used.
  - Fix compile error of (un)register_memory_notifier().

      [PATCH] Get rid of zone_table[] · 89689ae7
      由 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] call mm/page-writeback.c:set_ratelimit() when new pages are hot-added · 2d1d43f6
      由 Chandra Seetharaman 提交于 
      ratelimit_pages in page-writeback.c is recalculated (in set_ratelimit())
every time a CPU is hot-added/removed.  But this value is not recalculated
when new pages are hot-added.

This patch fixes that problem by calling set_ratelimit() when new pages
are hot-added.

      [PATCH] cpuset: top_cpuset tracks hotplug changes to node_online_map · 38837fc7
      由 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.
