Patch #1-#4 have RB's, patch #5 is virtio-mem stuff maintained by me, patch #6 is just a doc update. --- Currently, virtio-mem does not really support ZONE_MOVABLE. While it allows to online fully plugged memory blocks to ZONE_MOVABLE, it does not allow to online partially-plugged memory blocks to ZONE_MOVABLE and will never consider such memory blocks when unplugging memory. This might be surprising for users (especially, if onlining suddenly fails). Let's support partially plugged memory blocks in ZONE_MOVABLE, allowing partially plugged memory blocks to be online to ZONE_MOVABLE and also unplugging from such memory blocks. This is especially helpful for testing, but also paves the way for virtio-mem optimizations, allowing more memory to get reliably unplugged. Cleanup has_unmovable_pages() and set_migratetype_isolate(), providing better documentation of how ZONE_MOVABLE interacts with different kind of unmovable pages (memory offlining vs. alloc_contig_range()). v2 -> v3: - "mm: document semantics of ZONE_MOVABLE" -- Fix a typo v1 -> v2: - "mm/page_isolation: don't dump_page(NULL) in set_migratetype_isolate()" -- Move to position 1, add Fixes: tag -- Drop unused "out:" label - "mm/page_isolation: drop WARN_ON_ONCE() in set_migratetype_isolate()" -- Keep curly braces on "else" case - Replace "[PATCH v1 5/6] mm/page_alloc: restrict ZONE_MOVABLE optimization in has_unmovable_pages() to memory offlining" by "mm: document semantics of ZONE_MOVABLE" -- Brain dump of what I know about ZONE_MOVABLE David Hildenbrand (6): mm/page_isolation: don't dump_page(NULL) in set_migratetype_isolate() mm/page_alloc: tweak comments in has_unmovable_pages() mm/page_isolation: drop WARN_ON_ONCE() in set_migratetype_isolate() mm/page_isolation: cleanup set_migratetype_isolate() virtio-mem: don't special-case ZONE_MOVABLE mm: document semantics of ZONE_MOVABLE drivers/virtio/virtio_mem.c | 47 +++++++------------------------------ include/linux/mmzone.h | 34 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ mm/page_alloc.c | 22 +++++------------ mm/page_isolation.c | 39 ++++++++++++++---------------- 4 files changed, 65 insertions(+), 77 deletions(-) -- 2.26.2
