Subject: [V5 PATCH 00/26] mm, memory-hotplug: dynamic configure movable memory and introduce movable node
Movable memory is a very important concept of memory-management,
we need to consolidate it and make use of it on systems.
Movable memory is needed for
o anti-fragmentation(hugepage, big-order allocation...)
o logic hot-remove(virtualization, Memory capacity on Demand)
o physic hot-remove(power-saving, hardware partitioning, hardware fault management)
All these require dynamic configuring the memory and making better utilities of memories
and safer. We also need physic hot-remove, so we need movable node too.
(Although some systems support physic-memory-migration, we don't require all
memory on physic-node is movable, but movable node is still needed here
for logic-node if we want to make physic-migration is transparent)
We add dynamic configuration commands "online_movalbe" and "online_kernel".
We also add non-dynamic boot option kernelcore_max_addr.
We may add some more dynamic/non-dynamic configuration in future.
The patchset is based on 3.7-rc3 with these three patches already applied:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/24/151
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/26/150
You can also simply pull all the patches from:
git pull https://github.com/laijs/linux.git hotplug-next
Issues):
mempolicy(M_BIND) don't act well when the nodemask has movable nodes only,
the kernel allocation will fail and the task can't create new task or other
kernel objects.
So we change the strategy/policy
when the bound nodemask has movable node(s) only, we only
apply mempolicy for userspace allocation, don't apply it
for kernel allocation.
CPUSET also has the same problem, but the code spread in page_alloc.c,
and we doesn't fix it yet, we can/will change allocation strategy to one of
these 3 strategies:
1) the same strategy as mempolicy
2) change cpuset, make nodemask always has at least a normal node
3) split nodemask: nodemask_user and nodemask_kernel
Thoughts?
Patches):
patch1-3: add online_movable and online_kernel, bot don't result movable node
Patch4 cleanup for node_state_attr
Patch5 introduce N_MEMORY
Patch6-17 use N_MEMORY instead N_HIGH_MEMORY.
The patches are separated by subsystem,
Patch18 also changes the node_states initialization
Patch18-20 Add MOVABLE-dedicated node
Patch21-25 Add kernelcore_max_addr
patch26: mempolicy handle movable node
Changes):
change V5-V4:
consolidate online_movable/online_kernel
nodemask management
change V4-v3
rebase.
online_movable/online_kernel can create a zone from empty
or empyt a zone
change V3-v2:
Proper nodemask management
change V2-V1:
The original V1 patchset of MOVABLE-dedicated node is here:
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mm/78122
The new V2 adds N_MEMORY and a notion of "MOVABLE-dedicated node".
And fix some related problems.
The orignal V1 patchset of "add online_movable" is here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/7/4/145
The new V2 discards the MIGRATE_HOTREMOVE approach, and use a more straight
implementation(only 1 patch).
Lai Jiangshan (22):
mm, memory-hotplug: dynamic configure movable memory and portion
memory
memory_hotplug: handle empty zone when online_movable/online_kernel
memory_hotplug: ensure every online node has NORMAL memory
node: cleanup node_state_attr
node_states: introduce N_MEMORY
cpuset: use N_MEMORY instead N_HIGH_MEMORY
procfs: use N_MEMORY instead N_HIGH_MEMORY
memcontrol: use N_MEMORY instead N_HIGH_MEMORY
oom: use N_MEMORY instead N_HIGH_MEMORY
mm,migrate: use N_MEMORY instead N_HIGH_MEMORY
mempolicy: use N_MEMORY instead N_HIGH_MEMORY
hugetlb: use N_MEMORY instead N_HIGH_MEMORY
vmstat: use N_MEMORY instead N_HIGH_MEMORY
kthread: use N_MEMORY instead N_HIGH_MEMORY
init: use N_MEMORY instead N_HIGH_MEMORY
vmscan: use N_MEMORY instead N_HIGH_MEMORY
page_alloc: use N_MEMORY instead N_HIGH_MEMORY change the node_states
initialization
hotplug: update nodemasks management
numa: add CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE for movable-dedicated node
memory_hotplug: allow online/offline memory to result movable node
page_alloc: add kernelcore_max_addr
mempolicy: fix is_valid_nodemask()
Yasuaki Ishimatsu (4):
x86: get pg_data_t's memory from other node
x86: use memblock_set_current_limit() to set memblock.current_limit
memblock: limit memory address from memblock
memblock: compare current_limit with end variable at
memblock_find_in_range_node()
