mem-hotplug: implement get/put_online_mems

2014-06-04T23:53:59Z

kmem_cache_{create,destroy,shrink} need to get a stable value of cpu/node online mask, because they init/destroy/access per-cpu/node kmem_cache parts, which can be allocated or destroyed on cpu/mem hotplug. To protect against cpu hotplug, these functions use {get,put}_online_cpus. However, they do nothing to synchronize with memory hotplug - taking the slab_mutex does not eliminate the possibility of race as described in patch 2. What we need there is something like get_online_cpus, but for memory. We already have lock_memory_hotplug, which serves for the purpose, but it's a bit of a hammer right now, because it's backed by a mutex. As a result, it imposes some limitations to locking order, which are not desirable, and can't be used just like get_online_cpus. That's why in patch 1 I substitute it with get/put_online_mems, which work exactly like get/put_online_cpus except they block not cpu, but memory hotplug. [ v1 can be found at https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/6/68. I NAK'ed it by myself, because it used an rw semaphore for get/put_online_mems, making them dead lock prune. ] This patch (of 2): {un}lock_memory_hotplug, which is used to synchronize against memory hotplug, is currently backed by a mutex, which makes it a bit of a hammer - threads that only want to get a stable value of online nodes mask won't be able to proceed concurrently. Also, it imposes some strong locking ordering rules on it, which narrows down the set of its usage scenarios. This patch introduces get/put_online_mems, which are the same as get/put_online_cpus, but for memory hotplug, i.e. executing a code inside a get/put_online_mems section will guarantee a stable value of online nodes, present pages, etc. lock_memory_hotplug()/unlock_memory_hotplug() are removed altogether.

mm/sparsemem: use PAGES_PER_SECTION to remove redundant nr_pages parameter

2013-11-13T03:09:06Z

For below functions, - sparse_add_one_section() - kmalloc_section_memmap() - __kmalloc_section_memmap() - __kfree_section_memmap() they are always invoked to operate on one memory section, so it is redundant to always pass a nr_pages parameter, which is the page numbers in one section. So we can directly use predefined macro PAGES_PER_SECTION instead of passing the parameter.

cpu/mem hotplug: add try_online_node() for cpu_up()

2013-11-13T03:09:04Z

cpu_up() has #ifdef CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG code blocks, which call mem_online_node() to put its node online if offlined and then call build_all_zonelists() to initialize the zone list. These steps are specific to memory hotplug, and should be managed in mm/memory_hotplug.c. lock_memory_hotplug() should also be held for the whole steps. For this reason, this patch replaces mem_online_node() with try_online_node(), which performs the whole steps with lock_memory_hotplug() held. try_online_node() is named after try_offline_node() as they have similar purpose. There is no functional change in this patch. Signed-off-by: Toshi Kani Reviewed-by: Yasuaki Ishimatsu Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Memory hotplug: Move alternative function definitions to header

Memory hotplug / ACPI: Simplify memory removal

2013-06-01T19:37:10Z

Now that the memory offlining should be taken care of by the companion device offlining code in acpi_scan_hot_remove(), the ACPI memory hotplug driver doesn't need to offline it in remove_memory() any more. Moreover, since the return value of remove_memory() is not used, it's better to make it be a void function and trigger a BUG() if the memory scheduled for removal is not offline. Change the code in accordance with the above observations. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki Reviewed-by: Toshi Kani

Driver core / MM: Drop offline_memory_block()

2013-06-01T19:37:10Z

Since offline_memory_block(mem) is functionally equivalent to device_offline(&mem->dev), make the only caller of the former use the latter instead and drop offline_memory_block() entirely. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Acked-by: Toshi Kani

ACPI / memhotplug: Bind removable memory blocks to ACPI device nodes

2013-05-12T12:14:38Z

During ACPI memory hotplug configuration bind memory blocks residing in modules removable through the standard ACPI mechanism to struct acpi_device objects associated with ACPI namespace objects representing those modules. Accordingly, unbind those memory blocks from the struct acpi_device objects when the memory modules in question are being removed. When "offline" operation for devices representing memory blocks is introduced, this will allow the ACPI core's device hot-remove code to use it to carry out remove_memory() for those memory blocks and check the results of that before it actually removes the modules holding them from the system. Since walk_memory_range() is used for accessing all memory blocks corresponding to a given ACPI namespace object, it is exported from memory_hotplug.c so that the code in acpi_memhotplug.c can use it.

mm, hotplug: avoid compiling memory hotremove functions when disabled

2013-04-29T22:54:37Z

__remove_pages() is only necessary for CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE. PowerPC pseries will return -EOPNOTSUPP if unsupported. Adding an #ifdef causes several other functions it depends on to also become unnecessary, which saves in .text when disabled (it's disabled in most defconfigs besides powerpc, including x86). remove_memory_block() becomes static since it is not referenced outside of drivers/base/memory.c. Build tested on x86 and powerpc with CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE both enabled and disabled.

memory-hotplug: export the function try_offline_node()

2013-02-24T01:50:13Z

try_offline_node() will be needed in the tristate drivers/acpi/processor_driver.c. The node will be offlined when all memory/cpu on the node have been hotremoved. So we need the function try_offline_node() in cpu-hotplug path. If the memory-hotplug is disabled, and cpu-hotplug is enabled 1. no memory no the node we don't online the node, and cpu's node is the nearest node. 2. the node contains some memory the node has been onlined, and cpu's node is still needed to migrate the sleep task on the cpu to the same node. So we do nothing in try_offline_node() in this case.
