mm,memory_hotplug: allocate memmap from the added memory range

2021-05-05T18:27:26Z

Physical memory hotadd has to allocate a memmap (struct page array) for the newly added memory section. Currently, alloc_pages_node() is used for those allocations. This has some disadvantages: a) an existing memory is consumed for that purpose (eg: ~2MB per 128MB memory section on x86_64) This can even lead to extreme cases where system goes OOM because the physically hotplugged memory depletes the available memory before it is onlined. b) if the whole node is movable then we have off-node struct pages which has performance drawbacks. c) It might be there are no PMD_ALIGNED chunks so memmap array gets populated with base pages. This can be improved when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is enabled. Vmemap page tables can map arbitrary memory. That means that we can reserve a part of the physically hotadded memory to back vmemmap page tables. This implementation uses the beginning of the hotplugged memory for that purpose. There are some non-obviously things to consider though. Vmemmap pages are allocated/freed during the memory hotplug events (add_memory_resource(), try_remove_memory()) when the memory is added/removed. This means that the reserved physical range is not online although it is used. The most obvious side effect is that pfn_to_online_page() returns NULL for those pfns. The current design expects that this should be OK as the hotplugged memory is considered a garbage until it is onlined. For example hibernation wouldn't save the content of those vmmemmaps into the image so it wouldn't be restored on resume but this should be OK as there no real content to recover anyway while metadata is reachable from other data structures (e.g. vmemmap page tables). The reserved space is therefore (de)initialized during the {on,off}line events (mhp_{de}init_memmap_on_memory). That is done by extracting page allocator independent initialization from the regular onlining path. The primary reason to handle the reserved space outside of {on,off}line_pages is to make each initialization specific to the purpose rather than special case them in a single function. As per above, the functions that are introduced are: - mhp_init_memmap_on_memory: Initializes vmemmap pages by calling move_pfn_range_to_zone(), calls kasan_add_zero_shadow(), and onlines as many sections as vmemmap pages fully span. - mhp_deinit_memmap_on_memory: Offlines as many sections as vmemmap pages fully span, removes the range from zhe zone by remove_pfn_range_from_zone(), and calls kasan_remove_zero_shadow() for the range. The new function memory_block_online() calls mhp_init_memmap_on_memory() before doing the actual online_pages(). Should online_pages() fail, we clean up by calling mhp_deinit_memmap_on_memory(). Adjusting of present_pages is done at the end once we know that online_pages() succedeed. On offline, memory_block_offline() needs to unaccount vmemmap pages from present_pages() before calling offline_pages(). This is necessary because offline_pages() tears down some structures based on the fact whether the node or the zone become empty. If offline_pages() fails, we account back vmemmap pages. If it succeeds, we call mhp_deinit_memmap_on_memory(). Hot-remove: We need to be careful when removing memory, as adding and removing memory needs to be done with the same granularity. To check that this assumption is not violated, we check the memory range we want to remove and if a) any memory block has vmemmap pages and b) the range spans more than a single memory block, we scream out loud and refuse to proceed. If all is good and the range was using memmap on memory (aka vmemmap pages), we construct an altmap structure so free_hugepage_table does the right thing and calls vmem_altmap_free instead of free_pagetable.

drivers/base/memory: don't store phys_device in memory blocks

2021-02-26T17:41:00Z

No need to store the value for each and every memory block, as we can easily query the value at runtime. Reshuffle the members to optimize the memory layout. Also, let's clarify what the interface once was used for and why it's legacy nowadays. "phys_device" was used on s390x in older versions of lsmem[2]/chmem[3], back when they were still part of s390x-tools. They were later replaced by the variants in linux-utils. For example, RHEL6 and RHEL7 contain lsmem/chmem from s390-utils. RHEL8 switched to versions from util-linux on s390x [4]. "phys_device" was added with sysfs support for memory hotplug in commit 3947be1969a9 ("[PATCH] memory hotplug: sysfs and add/remove functions") in 2005. It always returned 0. s390x started returning something != 0 on some setups (if sclp.rzm is set by HW) in 2010 via commit 57b552ba0b2f ("memory hotplug/s390: set phys_device"). For s390x, it allowed for identifying which memory block devices belong to the same storage increment (RZM). Only if all memory block devices comprising a single storage increment were offline, the memory could actually be removed in the hypervisor. Since commit e5d709bb5fb7 ("s390/memory hotplug: provide memory_block_size_bytes() function") in 2013 a memory block device spans at least one storage increment - which is why the interface isn't really helpful/used anymore (except by old lsmem/chmem tools). There were once RFC patches to make use of "phys_device" in ACPI context; however, the underlying problem could be solved using different interfaces [1].

drivers/base/memory.c: drop section_count

2020-04-07T17:43:40Z

Patch series "mm: drop superfluous section checks when onlining/offlining". Let's drop some superfluous section checks on the onlining/offlining path. This patch (of 3): Since commit c5e79ef561b0 ("mm/memory_hotplug.c: don't allow to online/offline memory blocks with holes") we have a generic check in offline_pages() that disallows offlining memory blocks with holes. Memory blocks with missing sections are just another variant of these type of blocks. We can stop checking (and especially storing) present sections. A proper error message is now printed why offlining failed. section_count was initially introduced in commit 07681215975e ("Driver core: Add section count to memory_block struct") in order to detect when it is okay to remove a memory block. It was used in commit 26bbe7ef6d5c ("drivers/base/memory.c: prohibit offlining of memory blocks with missing sections") to disallow offlining memory blocks with missing sections. As we refactored creation/removal of memory devices and have a proper check for holes in place, we can drop the section_count. This also removes a leftover comment regarding the mem_sysfs_mutex, which was removed in commit 848e19ad3c33 ("drivers/base/memory.c: drop the mem_sysfs_mutex").

mm/memory_hotplug: fix try_offline_node()

2019-11-16T02:34:00Z

try_offline_node() is pretty much broken right now: - The node span is updated when onlining memory, not when adding it. We ignore memory that was mever onlined. Bad. - We touch possible garbage memmaps. The pfn_to_nid(pfn) can easily trigger a kernel panic. Bad for memory that is offline but also bad for subsection hotadd with ZONE_DEVICE, whereby the memmap of the first PFN of a section might contain garbage. - Sections belonging to mixed nodes are not properly considered. As memory blocks might belong to multiple nodes, we would have to walk all pageblocks (or at least subsections) within present sections. However, we don't have a way to identify whether a memmap that is not online was initialized (relevant for ZONE_DEVICE). This makes things more complicated. Luckily, we can piggy pack on the node span and the nid stored in memory blocks. Currently, the node span is grown when calling move_pfn_range_to_zone() - e.g., when onlining memory, and shrunk when removing memory, before calling try_offline_node(). Sysfs links are created via link_mem_sections(), e.g., during boot or when adding memory. If the node still spans memory or if any memory block belongs to the nid, we don't set the node offline. As memory blocks that span multiple nodes cannot get offlined, the nid stored in memory blocks is reliable enough (for such online memory blocks, the node still spans the memory). Introduce for_each_memory_block() to efficiently walk all memory blocks. Note: We will soon stop shrinking the ZONE_DEVICE zone and the node span when removing ZONE_DEVICE memory to fix similar issues (access of garbage memmaps) - until we have a reliable way to identify whether these memmaps were properly initialized. This implies later, that once a node had ZONE_DEVICE memory, we won't be able to set a node offline - which should be acceptable. Since commit f1dd2cd13c4b ("mm, memory_hotplug: do not associate hotadded memory to zones until online") memory that is added is not assoziated with a zone/node (memmap not initialized). The introducing commit 60a5a19e7419 ("memory-hotplug: remove sysfs file of node") already missed that we could have multiple nodes for a section and that the zone/node span is updated when onlining pages, not when adding them. I tested this by hotplugging two DIMMs to a memory-less and cpu-less NUMA node. The node is properly onlined when adding the DIMMs. When removing the DIMMs, the node is properly offlined.

drivers/base/memory.c: don't store end_section_nr in memory blocks

2019-09-24T22:54:09Z

Each memory block spans the same amount of sections/pages/bytes. The size is determined before the first memory block is created. No need to store what we can easily calculate - and the calculations even look simpler now. Michal brought up the idea of variable-sized memory blocks. However, if we ever implement something like this, we will need an API compatibility switch and reworks at various places (most code assumes a fixed memory block size). So let's cleanup what we have right now. While at it, fix the variable naming in register_mem_sect_under_node() - we no longer talk about a single section.

driver/base/memory.c: validate memory block size early

2019-09-24T22:54:09Z

Let's validate the memory block size early, when initializing the memory device infrastructure. Fail hard in case the value is not suitable. As nobody checks the return value of memory_dev_init(), turn it into a void function and fail with a panic in all scenarios instead. Otherwise, we'll crash later during boot when core/drivers expect that the memory device infrastructure (including memory_block_size_bytes()) works as expected. I think long term, we should move the whole memory block size configuration (set_memory_block_size_order() and memory_block_size_bytes()) into drivers/base/memory.c.
