GFP_HIGHUSER_PAGECACHE is just an alias for GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE, making
that harder to track down: remove it, and its out-of-work brothers
GFP_NOFS_PAGECACHE and GFP_USER_PAGECACHE.Since we're making that improvement to hotremove_migrate_alloc(), I think
we can now also remove one of the "o"s from its comment.Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins

Show node to memory section relationship with symlinks in sysfs
Add /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/memoryY symlinks for all
the memory sections located on nodeX. For example:
/sys/devices/system/node/node1/memory135 -> ../../memory/memory135
indicates that memory section 135 resides on node1.Also revises documentation to cover this change as well as updating
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-memory to include descriptions
of memory hotremove files 'phys_device', 'phys_index', and 'state'
that were previously not described there.In addition to it always being a good policy to provide users with
the maximum possible amount of physical location information for
resources that can be hot-added and/or hot-removed, the following
are some (but likely not all) of the user benefits provided by
this change.
Immediate:
- Provides information needed to determine the specific node
on which a defective DIMM is located. This will reduce system
downtime when the node or defective DIMM is swapped out.
- Prevents unintended onlining of a memory section that was
previously offlined due to a defective DIMM. This could happen
during node hot-add when the user or node hot-add assist script
onlines _all_ offlined sections due to user or script inability
to identify the specific memory sections located on the hot-added
node. The consequences of reintroducing the defective memory
could be ugly.
- Provides information needed to vary the amount and distribution
of memory on specific nodes for testing or debugging purposes.
Future:
- Will provide information needed to identify the memory
sections that need to be offlined prior to physical removal
of a specific node.Symlink creation during boot was tested on 2-node x86_64, 2-node
ppc64, and 2-node ia64 systems. Symlink creation during physical
memory hot-add tested on a 2-node x86_64 system.Signed-off-by: Gary Hade

After adding a node into the machine, top cpuset's mems isn't updated.
By reviewing the code, we found that the update function
cpuset_track_online_nodes()
was invoked after node_states[N_ONLINE] changes. It is wrong because
N_ONLINE just means node has pgdat, and if node has/added memory, we use
N_HIGH_MEMORY. So, We should invoke the update function after
node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY] changes, just like its commit says.This patch fixes it. And we use notifier of memory hotplug instead of
direct calling of cpuset_track_online_nodes().Signed-off-by: Miao Xie

During hotplug memory remove, memory regions should be released on a
PAGES_PER_SECTION size chunks. This mirrors the code in add_memory where
resources are requested on a PAGES_PER_SECTION size.Attempting to release the entire memory region fails because there is not
a single resource for the total number of pages being removed. Instead
the resources for the pages are split in PAGES_PER_SECTION size chunks as
requested during memory add.Signed-off-by: Nathan Fontenot

On large memory systems, the VM can spend way too much time scanning
through pages that it cannot (or should not) evict from memory. Not only
does it use up CPU time, but it also provokes lock contention and can
leave large systems under memory presure in a catatonic state.This patch series improves VM scalability by:
1) putting filesystem backed, swap backed and unevictable pages
onto their own LRUs, so the system only scans the pages that it
can/should evict from memory2) switching to two handed clock replacement for the anonymous LRUs,
so the number of pages that need to be scanned when the system
starts swapping is bound to a reasonable number3) keeping unevictable pages off the LRU completely, so the
VM does not waste CPU time scanning them. ramfs, ramdisk,
SHM_LOCKED shared memory segments and mlock()ed VMA pages
are keept on the unevictable list.This patch:
isolate_lru_page logically belongs to be in vmscan.c than migrate.c.
It is tough, because we don't need that function without memory migration
so there is a valid argument to have it in migrate.c. However a
subsequent patch needs to make use of it in the core mm, so we can happily
move it to vmscan.c.Also, make the function a little more generic by not requiring that it
adds an isolated page to a given list. Callers can do that.Note that we now have '__isolate_lru_page()', that does
something quite different, visible outside of vmscan.c
for use with memory controller. Methinks we need to
rationalize these names/purposes. --lts[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix mm/memory_hotplug.c build]

Memory may be hot-removed on a per-memory-block basis, particularly on
POWER where the SPARSEMEM section size often matches the memory-block
size. A user-level agent must be able to identify which sections of
memory are likely to be removable before attempting the potentially
expensive operation. This patch adds a file called "removable" to the
memory directory in sysfs to help such an agent. In this patch, a memory
block is considered removable if;o It contains only MOVABLE pageblocks
o It contains only pageblocks with free pages regardless of pageblock typeOn the other hand, a memory block starting with a PageReserved() page will
never be considered removable. Without this patch, the user-agent is
forced to choose a memory block to remove randomly.Sample output of the sysfs files:

Trying to online a new memory section that was added via memory hotplug
sometimes results in crashes when the new pages are added via __free_page.
Reason for that is that the pageblock bitmap isn't initialized and hence
contains random stuff. That means that get_pageblock_migratetype()
returns also random stuff and thereforelist_add(&page->lru,
&zone->free_area[order].free_list[migratetype]);in __free_one_page() tries to do a list_add to something that isn't even
necessarily a list.This happens since 86051ca5eaf5e560113ec7673462804c54284456 ("mm: fix
usemap initialization") which makes sure that the pageblock bitmap gets
only initialized for pages present in a zone. Unfortunately for hot-added
memory the zones "grow" after the memmap and the pageblock memmap have
been initialized. Which means that the new pages have an unitialized
bitmap. To solve this the calls to grow_zone_span() and grow_pgdat_span()
are moved to __add_zone() just before the initialization happens.The patch also moves the two functions since __add_zone() is the only
caller and I didn't want to add a forward declaration.Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens

This patch is to free memmaps which is allocated by bootmem.
Freeing usemap is not necessary. The pages of usemap may be necessary for
other sections.If removing section is last section on the node, its section is the final user
of usemap page. (usemaps are allocated on its section by previous patch.) But
it shouldn't be freed too, because the section must be logical offline state
which all pages are isolated against page allocater. If it is freed, page
alloctor may use it which will be removed physically soon. It will be
disaster. So, this patch keeps it as it is.Signed-off-by: Yasunori Goto

This patch set is to free pages which is allocated by bootmem for
memory-hotremove. Some structures of memory management are allocated by
bootmem. ex) memmap, etc.To remove memory physically, some of them must be freed according to
circumstance. This patch set makes basis to free those pages, and free
memmaps.Basic my idea is using remain members of struct page to remember information
of users of bootmem (section number or node id). When the section is
removing, kernel can confirm it. By this information, some issues can be
solved.1) When the memmap of removing section is allocated on other
section by bootmem, it should/can be free.
2) When the memmap of removing section is allocated on the
same section, it shouldn't be freed. Because the section has to be
logical memory offlined already and all pages must be isolated against
page allocater. If it is freed, page allocator may use it which will
be removed physically soon.
3) When removing section has other section's memmap,
kernel will be able to show easily which section should be removed
before it for user. (Not implemented yet)
4) When the above case 2), the page isolation will be able to check and skip
memmap's page when logical memory offline (offline_pages()).
Current page isolation code fails in this case because this page is
just reserved page and it can't distinguish this pages can be
removed or not. But, it will be able to do by this patch.
(Not implemented yet.)
5) The node information like pgdat has similar issues. But, this
will be able to be solved too by this.
(Not implemented yet, but, remembering node id in the pages.)Fortunately, current bootmem allocator just keeps PageReserved flags,
and doesn't use any other members of page struct. The users of
bootmem doesn't use them too.This patch:
This is to register information which is node or section's id. Kernel can
distinguish which node/section uses the pages allcated by bootmem. This is
basis for hot-remove sections or nodes.Signed-off-by: Yasunori Goto

All architectures use an effectively identical definition of online_page(), so
just make it common code. x86-64, ia64, powerpc and sh are actually
identical; x86-32 is slightly different.x86-32's differences arise because it puts its hotplug pages in the highmem
zone. We can handle this in the generic code by inspecting the page to see if
its in highmem, and update the totalhigh_pages count appropriately. This
leaves init_32.c:free_new_highpage with a single caller, so I folded it into
add_one_highpage_init.I also removed an incorrect comment referring to the NUMA case; any NUMA
details have already been dealt with by the time online_page() is called.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix indenting]

- Add comments explaing how drain_pages() works.
- Eliminate useless functions
- Rename drain_all_local_pages to drain_all_pages(). It does drain
all pages not only those of the local processor.- Eliminate useless interrupt off / on sequences. drain_pages()
disables interrupts on its own. The execution thread is
pinned to processor by the caller. So there is no need to
disable interrupts.- Put drain_all_pages() declaration in gfp.h and remove the
declarations from suspend.h and from mm/memory_hotplug.c- Make software suspend call drain_all_pages(). The draining
of processor local pages is may not the right approach if
software suspend wants to support SMP. If they call drain_all_pages
then we can make drain_pages() static.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix build]

It is necessary to know if nodes have memory since we have recently begun to
add support for memoryless nodes. For that purpose we introduce a two new
node states: N_HIGH_MEMORY and N_NORMAL_MEMORY.A node has its bit in N_HIGH_MEMORY set if it has any memory regardless of the
type of mmemory. If a node has memory then it has at least one zone defined
in its pgdat structure that is located in the pgdat itself.A node has its bit in N_NORMAL_MEMORY set if it has a lower zone than
ZONE_HIGHMEM. This means it is possible to allocate memory that is not
subject to kmap.N_HIGH_MEMORY and N_NORMAL_MEMORY can then be used in various places to insure
that we do the right thing when we encounter a memoryless node.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fix]

The zone table is mostly not needed. If we have a node in the page flags
then we can get to the zone via NODE_DATA() which is much more likely to be
already in the cpu cache.In case of SMP and UP NODE_DATA() is a constant pointer which allows us to
access an exact replica of zonetable in the node_zones field. In all of
the above cases there will be no need at all for the zone table.The only remaining case is if in a NUMA system the node numbers do not fit
into the page flags. In that case we make sparse generate a table that
maps sections to nodes and use that table to to figure out the node number.
This table is sized to fit in a single cache line for the known 32 bit
NUMA platform which makes it very likely that the information can be
obtained without a cache miss.For sparsemem the zone table seems to be have been fairly large based on
the maximum possible number of sections and the number of zones per node.
There is some memory saving by removing zone_table. The main benefit is to
reduce the cache foootprint of the VM from the frequent lookups of zones.
Plus it simplifies the page allocator.[akpm@osdl.org: build fix]

Change the list of memory nodes allowed to tasks in the top (root) nodeset
to dynamically track what cpus are online, using a call to a cpuset hook
from the memory hotplug code. Make this top cpus file read-only.On systems that have cpusets configured in their kernel, but that aren't
actively using cpusets (for some distros, this covers the majority of
systems) all tasks end up in the top cpuset.If that system does support memory hotplug, then these tasks cannot make
use of memory nodes that are added after system boot, because the memory
nodes are not allowed in the top cpuset. This is a surprising regression
over earlier kernels that didn't have cpusets enabled.One key motivation for this change is to remain consistent with the
behaviour for the top_cpuset's 'cpus', which is also read-only, and which
automatically tracks the cpu_online_map.This change also has the minor benefit that it fixes a long standing,
little noticed, minor bug in cpusets. The cpuset performance tweak to
short circuit the cpuset_zone_allowed() check on systems with just a single
cpuset (see 'number_of_cpusets', in linux/cpuset.h) meant that simply
changing the 'mems' of the top_cpuset had no affect, even though the change
(the write system call) appeared to succeed. With the following change,
that write to the 'mems' file fails -EACCES, and the 'mems' file stubbornly
refuses to be changed via user space writes. Thus no one should be mislead
into thinking they've changed the top_cpusets's 'mems' when in affect they
haven't.In order to keep the behaviour of cpusets consistent between systems
actively making use of them and systems not using them, this patch changes
the behaviour of the 'mems' file in the top (root) cpuset, making it read
only, and making it automatically track the value of node_online_map. Thus
tasks in the top cpuset will have automatic use of hot plugged memory nodes
allowed by their cpuset.[akpm@osdl.org: build fix]

This patch is for collision check enhancement for memory hot add.
It's better to do resouce collision check before doing memory hot add,
which will touch memory management structures.And add_section() should check section exists or not before calling
sparse_add_one_section(). (sparse_add_one_section() will do another
check anyway. but checking in memory_hotplug.c will be easy to understand.)Signed-off-by: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki

find_next_system_ram() is used to find available memory resource at onlining
newly added memory. This patch fixes following problem.find_next_system_ram() cannot catch this case.
