Subject: [PATCH v3] memory tier: consolidate the initialization of memory tiers
The current memory tier initialization process is distributed across
two different functions, memory_tier_init() and memory_tier_late_init().
This design is hard to maintain. Thus, this patch is proposed to reduce
the possible code paths by consolidating different
initialization patches into one.
The earlier discussion with Jonathan and Ying is listed here:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240405150244.00004b49@Huawei.com/
If we want to put these two initializations together, they must be
placed together in the later function. Because only at that time,
the HMAT information will be ready, adist between nodes can be
calculated, and memory tiering can be established based on the adist.
So we position the initialization at memory_tier_init() to the
memory_tier_late_init() call. Moreover, it's natural to keep
memory_tier initialization in drivers at device_initcall() level.
If we simply move the set_node_memory_tier() from memory_tier_init()
to late_initcall(), it will result in HMAT not registering
the mt_adistance_algorithm callback function, because
set_node_memory_tier() is not performed during the memory tiering
initialization phase, leading to a lack of correct default_dram
information.
Therefore, we introduced a nodemask to pass the information of the
default DRAM nodes. The reason for not choosing to reuse
default_dram_type->nodes is that it is not clean enough. So in the end,
we use a __initdata variable, which is a variable that is released once
initialization is complete, including both CPU and memory nodes for HMAT
to iterate through.
This patchset is based on commits <cf93be18fa1b> ("memory tier: create
CPUless memory tiers after obtaining HMAT info") and
<a72a30af550c> ("memory tier: dax/kmem: introduce an abstract layer for
finding, allocating, and putting memory types"):

- v3:
* Combine the cover letter and the patch.
* Remove extern default_dram_type
* Remove __initdata in a extern variable
* Roll back coding style, fix comment description
- v2:
Thanks to Huang, Ying's and Andrew's comments
* Add a cover letter
* Add Suggested-by: Jonathan Cameron <Jonathan.Cameron@...wei.com>
* Add get/put_online_mems() protection in memory_tier_late_init()
* If memtype is set, skip initializing its node
* Remove redundant code/comments or rewrite code in a cleaner manner
* https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240628060925.303309-1-horen.chuang@linux.dev/
- v1:
* https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240621044833.3953055-1-horen.chuang@linux.dev/
- Open to discussion:
* Should we use `continue` or `break` if set_node_memory_tier() fails in
memory_tier_late_init()? I've changed it to `continue` in v3.
* Compute the default_dram_nodes mask in hmat when needed? Currently,
it still remains in memory-tiers.c
* Instead of using guard(mutex)(), use mutex_lock() as it was to make a
cleaner diff?
Thanks,
