Subject: [PATCH v6 0/2] memory-hotplug: add automatic onlining policy for the newly added memory
Changes since v5:
Patch 1:
- Mention possible failures during automatic onlining in memory-hotplug.txt
[David Rientjes]
- Add Daniel's Reviewed-by: (hope it stands)
Patch2:
- Change the last 'domU' -> 'target domain' in Kconfig [Daniel Kiper]
- Add Daniel's Reviewed-by:
- Add David's Acked-by:
Original description:
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.
The default is "offline".
