Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/2] Node migration between memory tiers
From: Srinivasulu Thanneeru <sthanneeru.opensrc@...ron.com>
The memory tiers feature allows nodes with similar memory types
or performance characteristics to be grouped together in a
memory tier. However, there is currently no provision for
moving a node from one tier to another on demand.
This patch series aims to support node migration between tiers
on demand by sysadmin/root user using the provided sysfs for
node migration. Each tier has a start abstract distance(adistance)
and range.
To migrate a node to a tier, the corresponding node’s sysfs
adistance_offset is written with a value corresponding to
the tier’s adistance.
Example: Move node2 to memory tier5 from its default tier(i.e 4)
1. Check default values:
$cat /sys/devices/virtual/memory_tiering/memory_tier4/nodelist
0-2
$cat /sys/devices/system/node/node0/adistance_offset
0
$cat /sys/devices/system/node/node1/adistance_offset
0
$cat /sys/devices/system/node/node2/adistance_offset
0
2. Move node2 to tier5:
To move node2 from emory_tier4 (adistance=512) to
emory_tier5 (abstract=640), set the `adistance_offset` of
node 2 to 128 (i.e., 512 + 128 = 640).
Tier4 adistance start can be derved from tier-id
(i.e for tier4, 4 << 7 = 512).
$echo 128 > /sys/devices/system/node/node2/adistance_offset
$cat /sys/devices/system/node/node2/adistance_offset
128
3. Verify node2's tier id:
$cat /sys/devices/virtual/memory_tiering/memory_tier5/nodelist
2
$cat /sys/devices/virtual/memory_tiering/memory_tier4/nodelist
0-1
