Subject: [PATCH v4 0/5] implement "memmap on memory" feature on s390
Hi All,
The patch series implements "memmap on memory" feature on s390.
Patch 1 introduces MEM_PREPARE_ONLINE/MEM_FINISH_OFFLINE memory
notifiers to prepare the transition of memory to and from a physically
accessible state. New mhp_flag MHP_OFFLINE_INACCESSIBLE is introduced to
ensure altmap cannot be written when addidng memory - before it is set
online. This enhancement is crucial for implementing the "memmap on
memory" feature for s390 in a subsequent patch.
Patches 2 allocates vmemmap pages from self-contained memory range for
s390. It allocates memory map (struct pages array) from the hotplugged
memory range, rather than using system memory by passing altmap to
vmemmap functions.
Patch 3 removes unhandled memory notifier types on s390.
Patch 4 implements MEM_PREPARE_ONLINE/MEM_FINISH_OFFLINE memory
notifiers on s390. MEM_PREPARE_ONLINE memory notifier makes memory block
physical accessible via sclp assign command. The notifier ensures
self-contained memory maps are accessible and hence enabling the "memmap
on memory" on s390. MEM_FINISH_OFFLINE memory notifier shifts the memory
block to an inaccessible state via sclp unassign command
Patch 5 finally enables MHP_MEMMAP_ON_MEMORY on s390
Note:
These patches are rebased on top of three fixes:
mm: use vmem_altmap code without CONFIG_ZONE_DEVICE
mm/memory_hotplug: fix error handling in add_memory_resource()
mm/memory_hotplug: add missing mem_hotplug_lock
v4:
* Introduced two new fields, altmap_start_pfn and altmap_nr_pages, in
the memory_notify structure and document it that it is used only in
MEM_PREPARE_ONLINE/MEM_FINISH_OFFLINE callbacks.
* Incorporated the newly added fields into s390's
MEM_PREPARE_ONLINE/MEM_FINISH_OFFLINE notifier callbacks.
* Prevent access to memblock->altmap->free in the s390 notifier callback.
* page_init_poison() could be performed similar to when adding new
memory in sparse_add_section(). Perform it without cond_resched().
v3:
* added comments to MHP_OFFLINE_ACCESSIBLE as suggested by David.
* Squashed three commits related to new memory notifier.
v2:
* Fixes are integrated and hence removed from this patch series
Suggestions from David:
* Add new flag MHP_OFFLINE_INACCESSIBLE to avoid accessing memory
during memory hotplug addition phase.
* Avoid page_init_poison() on memmap during mhp addition phase, when
MHP_OFFLINE_INACCESSIBLE mhp_flag is passed in add_memory().
* Do not skip add_pages() in arch_add_memory(). Similarly, remove
similar hacks in arch_remove_memory().
* Use MHP_PREPARE_ONLINE/MHP_FINISH_OFFLINE naming convention for
new memory notifiers.
* Rearrange removal of unused s390 memory notifier.
* Necessary commit messages changes.
Thank you
