Subject: [RFC V2 01/12] mm: Define coherent device memory (CDM) node
There are certain devices like specialized accelerator, GPU cards, network
cards, FPGA cards etc which might contain onboard memory which is coherent
along with the existing system RAM while being accessed either from the CPU
or from the device. They share some similar properties with that of normal
system RAM but at the same time can also be different with respect to
system RAM.
User applications might be interested in using this kind of coherent device
memory explicitly or implicitly along side the system RAM utilizing all
possible core memory functions like anon mapping (LRU), file mapping (LRU),
page cache (LRU), driver managed (non LRU), HW poisoning, NUMA migrations
etc. To achieve this kind of tight integration with core memory subsystem,
the device onbaord coherent memory must be represented as a memory only
NUMA node. At the same time arch must export some kind of a function to
identify of this node as a coherent device memory not any other regular
cpu less memory only NUMA node.
After achieving the integration with core memory subsystem coherent device
memory might still need some special consideration inside the kernel. There
can be a variety of coherent memory nodes with different expectations from
the core kernel memory. But right now only one kind of special treatment is
considered which requires certain isolation.
Now consider the case of a coherent device memory node type which requires
isolation. This kind of coherent memory is onboard an external device
attached to the system through a link where there is always a chance of a
link failure taking down the entire memory node with it. More over the
memory might also have higher chance of ECC failure as compared to the
system RAM. Hence allocation into this kind of coherent memory node should
be regulated. Kernel allocations must not come here. Normal user space
allocations too should not come here implicitly (without user application
knowing about it). This summarizes isolation requirement of certain kind of
coherent device memory node as an example. There can be different kinds of
isolation requirement also.
Some coherent memory devices might not require isolation altogether after
all. Then there might be other coherent memory devices which might require
some other special treatment after being part of core memory representation
. For now, will look into isolation seeking coherent device memory node not
the other ones.
To implement the integration as well as isolation, the coherent memory node
must be present in N_MEMORY and a new N_COHERENT_DEVICE node mask inside
the node_states[] array. During memory hotplug operations, the new nodemask
N_COHERENT_DEVICE is updated along with N_MEMORY for these coherent device
memory nodes. This also creates the following new sysfs based interface to
list down all the coherent memory nodes of the system.
/sys/devices/system/node/is_coherent_node
Architectures must export function arch_check_node_cdm() which identifies
any coherent device memory node in case they enable CONFIG_COHERENT_DEVICE.
