mm/memory_hotplug: export mhp_supports_memmap_on_memory()

2024-02-22T18:24:40Z

In preparation for adding sysfs ABI to toggle memmap_on_memory semantics for drivers adding memory, export the mhp_supports_memmap_on_memory() helper. This allows drivers to check if memmap_on_memory support is available before trying to request it, and display an appropriate message if it isn't available. As part of this, remove the size argument to this - with recent updates to allow memmap_on_memory for larger ranges, and the internal splitting of altmaps into respective memory blocks, the size argument is meaningless.

mm/memory_hotplug: introduce MEM_PREPARE_ONLINE/MEM_FINISH_OFFLINE notifiers

2024-02-22T00:00:01Z

Patch series "implement "memmap on memory" feature on s390". This series provides "memmap on memory" support on s390 platform. "memmap on memory" allows struct pages array to be allocated from the hotplugged memory range instead of allocating it from main system memory. s390 currently preallocates struct pages array for all potentially possible memory, which ensures memory onlining always succeeds, but with the cost of significant memory consumption from the available system memory during boottime. In certain extreme configuration, this could lead to ipl failure. "memmap on memory" ensures struct pages array are populated from self contained hotplugged memory range instead of depleting the available system memory and this could eliminate ipl failure on s390 platform. On other platforms, system might go OOM when the physically hotplugged memory depletes the available memory before it is onlined. Hence, "memmap on memory" feature was introduced as described in commit a08a2ae34613 ("mm,memory_hotplug: allocate memmap from the added memory range"). Unlike other architectures, s390 memory blocks are not physically accessible until it is online. To make it physically accessible two new memory notifiers MEM_PREPARE_ONLINE / MEM_FINISH_OFFLINE are added and this notifier lets the hypervisor inform that the memory should be made physically accessible. This allows for "memmap on memory" initialization during memory hotplug onlining phase, which is performed before calling MEM_GOING_ONLINE notifier. Patch 1 introduces MEM_PREPARE_ONLINE/MEM_FINISH_OFFLINE memory notifiers to prepare the transition of memory to and from a physically accessible state. New mhp_flag MHP_OFFLINE_INACCESSIBLE is introduced to ensure altmap cannot be written when adding memory - before it is set online. This enhancement is crucial for implementing the "memmap on memory" feature for s390 in a subsequent patch. Patches 2 allocates vmemmap pages from self-contained memory range for s390. It allocates memory map (struct pages array) from the hotplugged memory range, rather than using system memory by passing altmap to vmemmap functions. Patch 3 removes unhandled memory notifier types on s390. Patch 4 implements MEM_PREPARE_ONLINE/MEM_FINISH_OFFLINE memory notifiers on s390. MEM_PREPARE_ONLINE memory notifier makes memory block physical accessible via sclp assign command. The notifier ensures self-contained memory maps are accessible and hence enabling the "memmap on memory" on s390. MEM_FINISH_OFFLINE memory notifier shifts the memory block to an inaccessible state via sclp unassign command. Patch 5 finally enables MHP_MEMMAP_ON_MEMORY on s390. This patch (of 5): Introduce MEM_PREPARE_ONLINE/MEM_FINISH_OFFLINE memory notifiers to prepare the transition of memory to and from a physically accessible state. This enhancement is crucial for implementing the "memmap on memory" feature for s390 in a subsequent patch. Platforms such as x86 can support physical memory hotplug via ACPI. When there is physical memory hotplug, ACPI event leads to the memory addition with the following callchain: acpi_memory_device_add() -> acpi_memory_enable_device() -> __add_memory() After this, the hotplugged memory is physically accessible, and altmap support prepared, before the "memmap on memory" initialization in memory_block_online() is called. On s390, memory hotplug works in a different way. The available hotplug memory has to be defined upfront in the hypervisor, but it is made physically accessible only when the user sets it online via sysfs, currently in the MEM_GOING_ONLINE notifier. This is too late and "memmap on memory" initialization is performed before calling MEM_GOING_ONLINE notifier. During the memory hotplug addition phase, altmap support is prepared and during the memory onlining phase s390 requires memory to be physically accessible and then subsequently initiate the "memmap on memory" initialization process. The memory provider will handle new MEM_PREPARE_ONLINE / MEM_FINISH_OFFLINE notifications and make the memory accessible. The mhp_flag MHP_OFFLINE_INACCESSIBLE is introduced and is relevant when used along with MHP_MEMMAP_ON_MEMORY, because the altmap cannot be written (e.g., poisoned) when adding memory -- before it is set online. This allows for adding memory with an altmap that is not currently made available by a hypervisor. When onlining that memory, the hypervisor can be instructed to make that memory accessible via the new notifiers and the onlining phase will not require any memory allocations, which is helpful in low-memory situations. All architectures ignore unknown memory notifiers. Therefore, the introduction of these new notifiers does not result in any functional modifications across architectures.

mm: memory_hotplug: make hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap compatible with memmap_on_memory

2022-07-04T01:08:49Z

For now, the feature of hugetlb_free_vmemmap is not compatible with the feature of memory_hotplug.memmap_on_memory, and hugetlb_free_vmemmap takes precedence over memory_hotplug.memmap_on_memory. However, someone wants to make memory_hotplug.memmap_on_memory takes precedence over hugetlb_free_vmemmap since memmap_on_memory makes it more likely to succeed memory hotplug in close-to-OOM situations. So the decision of making hugetlb_free_vmemmap take precedence is not wise and elegant. The proper approach is to have hugetlb_vmemmap.c do the check whether the section which the HugeTLB pages belong to can be optimized. If the section's vmemmap pages are allocated from the added memory block itself, hugetlb_free_vmemmap should refuse to optimize the vmemmap, otherwise, do the optimization. Then both kernel parameters are compatible. So this patch introduces VmemmapSelfHosted to mask any non-optimizable vmemmap pages. The hugetlb_vmemmap can use this flag to detect if a vmemmap page can be optimized.

mm: hugetlb_vmemmap: add hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap sysctl

2022-05-13T23:48:56Z

We must add hugetlb_free_vmemmap=on (or "off") to the boot cmdline and reboot the server to enable or disable the feature of optimizing vmemmap pages associated with HugeTLB pages. However, rebooting usually takes a long time. So add a sysctl to enable or disable the feature at runtime without rebooting. Why we need this? There are 3 use cases. 1) The feature of minimizing overhead of struct page associated with each HugeTLB is disabled by default without passing "hugetlb_free_vmemmap=on" to the boot cmdline. When we (ByteDance) deliver the servers to the users who want to enable this feature, they have to configure the grub (change boot cmdline) and reboot the servers, whereas rebooting usually takes a long time (we have thousands of servers). It's a very bad experience for the users. So we need a approach to enable this feature after rebooting. This is a use case in our practical environment. 2) Some use cases are that HugeTLB pages are allocated 'on the fly' instead of being pulled from the HugeTLB pool, those workloads would be affected with this feature enabled. Those workloads could be identified by the characteristics of they never explicitly allocating huge pages with 'nr_hugepages' but only set 'nr_overcommit_hugepages' and then let the pages be allocated from the buddy allocator at fault time. We can confirm it is a real use case from the commit 099730d67417. For those workloads, the page fault time could be ~2x slower than before. We suspect those users want to disable this feature if the system has enabled this before and they don't think the memory savings benefit is enough to make up for the performance drop. 3) If the workload which wants vmemmap pages to be optimized and the workload which wants to set 'nr_overcommit_hugepages' and does not want the extera overhead at fault time when the overcommitted pages be allocated from the buddy allocator are deployed in the same server. The user could enable this feature and set 'nr_hugepages' and 'nr_overcommit_hugepages', then disable the feature. In this case, the overcommited HugeTLB pages will not encounter the extra overhead at fault time.
