mm: don't panic when links can't be created in sysfs

2020-10-16T18:11:18Z

At boot time, or when doing memory hot-add operations, if the links in sysfs can't be created, the system is still able to run, so just report the error in the kernel log rather than BUG_ON and potentially make system unusable because the callpath can be called with locks held. Since the number of memory blocks managed could be high, the messages are rate limited. As a consequence, link_mem_sections() has no status to report anymore.

mm: don't rely on system state to detect hot-plug operations

2020-09-26T17:33:57Z

In register_mem_sect_under_node() the system_state's value is checked to detect whether the call is made during boot time or during an hot-plug operation. Unfortunately, that check against SYSTEM_BOOTING is wrong because regular memory is registered at SYSTEM_SCHEDULING state. In addition, memory hot-plug operation can be triggered at this system state by the ACPI [1]. So checking against the system state is not enough. The consequence is that on system with interleaved node's ranges like this: Early memory node ranges node 1: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x000000011fffffff] node 2: [mem 0x0000000120000000-0x000000014fffffff] node 1: [mem 0x0000000150000000-0x00000001ffffffff] node 0: [mem 0x0000000200000000-0x000000048fffffff] node 2: [mem 0x0000000490000000-0x00000007ffffffff] This can be seen on PowerPC LPAR after multiple memory hot-plug and hot-unplug operations are done. At the next reboot the node's memory ranges can be interleaved and since the call to link_mem_sections() is made in topology_init() while the system is in the SYSTEM_SCHEDULING state, the node's id is not checked, and the sections registered to multiple nodes: $ ls -l /sys/devices/system/memory/memory21/node* total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 24 05:27 node1 -> ../../node/node1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 24 05:27 node2 -> ../../node/node2 In that case, the system is able to boot but if later one of theses memory blocks is hot-unplugged and then hot-plugged, the sysfs inconsistency is detected and this is triggering a BUG_ON(): kernel BUG at /Users/laurent/src/linux-ppc/mm/memory_hotplug.c:1084!

mm/memory_hotplug: make unregister_memory_block_under_nodes() never fail

2019-07-19T00:08:06Z

We really don't want anything during memory hotunplug to fail. We always pass a valid memory block device, that check can go. Avoid allocating memory and eventually failing. As we are always called under lock, we can use a static piece of memory. This avoids having to put the structure onto the stack, having to guess about the stack size of callers. Patch inspired by a patch from Oscar Salvador. In the future, there might be no need to iterate over nodes at all. mem->nid should tell us exactly what to remove. Memory block devices with mixed nodes (added during boot) should properly fenced off and never removed.

mm/memory_hotplug: remove memory block devices before arch_remove_memory()

2019-07-19T00:08:06Z

Let's factor out removing of memory block devices, which is only necessary for memory added via add_memory() and friends that created memory block devices. Remove the devices before calling arch_remove_memory(). This finishes factoring out memory block device handling from arch_add_memory() and arch_remove_memory().

node: Add memory-side caching attributes

2019-04-04T16:41:21Z

System memory may have caches to help improve access speed to frequently requested address ranges. While the system provided cache is transparent to the software accessing these memory ranges, applications can optimize their own access based on cache attributes. Provide a new API for the kernel to register these memory-side caches under the memory node that provides it. The new sysfs representation is modeled from the existing cpu cacheinfo attributes, as seen from /sys/devices/system/cpu//cache/. Unlike CPU cacheinfo though, the node cache level is reported from the view of the memory. A higher level number is nearer to the CPU, while lower levels are closer to the last level memory. The exported attributes are the cache size, the line size, associativity indexing, and write back policy, and add the attributes for the system memory caches to sysfs stable documentation.

node: Add heterogenous memory access attributes

2019-04-04T16:41:21Z

Heterogeneous memory systems provide memory nodes with different latency and bandwidth performance attributes. Provide a new kernel interface for subsystems to register the attributes under the memory target node's initiator access class. If the system provides this information, applications may query these attributes when deciding which node to request memory. The following example shows the new sysfs hierarchy for a node exporting performance attributes: # tree -P "read*|write*"/sys/devices/system/node/nodeY/accessZ/initiators/ /sys/devices/system/node/nodeY/accessZ/initiators/ |-- read_bandwidth |-- read_latency |-- write_bandwidth `-- write_latency The bandwidth is exported as MB/s and latency is reported in nanoseconds. The values are taken from the platform as reported by the manufacturer. Memory accesses from an initiator node that is not one of the memory's access "Z" initiator nodes linked in the same directory may observe different performance than reported here. When a subsystem makes use of this interface, initiators of a different access number may not have the same performance relative to initiators in other access numbers, or omitted from the any access class' initiators. Descriptions for memory access initiator performance access attributes are added to sysfs stable documentation.

node: Link memory nodes to their compute nodes

2019-04-04T16:41:20Z

Systems may be constructed with various specialized nodes. Some nodes may provide memory, some provide compute devices that access and use that memory, and others may provide both. Nodes that provide memory are referred to as memory targets, and nodes that can initiate memory access are referred to as memory initiators. Memory targets will often have varying access characteristics from different initiators, and platforms may have ways to express those relationships. In preparation for these systems, provide interfaces for the kernel to export the memory relationship among different nodes memory targets and their initiators with symlinks to each other. If a system provides access locality for each initiator-target pair, nodes may be grouped into ranked access classes relative to other nodes. The new interface allows a subsystem to register relationships of varying classes if available and desired to be exported. A memory initiator may have multiple memory targets in the same access class. The target memory's initiators in a given class indicate the nodes access characteristics share the same performance relative to other linked initiator nodes. Each target within an initiator's access class, though, do not necessarily perform the same as each other. A memory target node may have multiple memory initiators. All linked initiators in a target's class have the same access characteristics to that target. The following example show the nodes' new sysfs hierarchy for a memory target node 'Y' with access class 0 from initiator node 'X': # symlinks -v /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/access0/ relative: /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/access0/targets/nodeY -> ../../nodeY # symlinks -v /sys/devices/system/node/nodeY/access0/ relative: /sys/devices/system/node/nodeY/access0/initiators/nodeX -> ../../nodeX The new attributes are added to the sysfs stable documentation.

mm/memory_hotplug.c: make register_mem_sect_under_node() a callback of walk_memory_range()

2018-08-17T23:20:29Z

link_mem_sections() and walk_memory_range() share most of the code, so we can use convert link_mem_sections() into a dummy function that calls walk_memory_range() with a callback to register_mem_sect_under_node(). This patch converts register_mem_sect_under_node() in order to match a walk_memory_range's callback, getting rid of the check_nid argument and checking instead if the system is still boothing, since we only have to check for the nid if the system is in such state.

mm/memory_hotplug: fix leftover use of struct page during hotplug

2018-05-26T01:12:11Z

The case of a new numa node got missed in avoiding using the node info from page_struct during hotplug. In this path we have a call to register_mem_sect_under_node (which allows us to specify it is hotplug so don't change the node), via link_mem_sections which unfortunately does not. Fix is to pass check_nid through link_mem_sections as well and disable it in the new numa node path. Note the bug only 'sometimes' manifests depending on what happens to be in the struct page structures - there are lots of them and it only needs to match one of them. The result of the bug is that (with a new memory only node) we never successfully call register_mem_sect_under_node so don't get the memory associated with the node in sysfs and meminfo for the node doesn't report it. It came up whilst testing some arm64 hotplug patches, but appears to be universal. Whilst I'm triggering it by removing then reinserting memory to a node with no other elements (thus making the node disappear then appear again), it appears it would happen on hotplugging memory where there was none before and it doesn't seem to be related the arm64 patches. These patches call __add_pages (where most of the issue was fixed by Pavel's patch). If there is a node at the time of the __add_pages call then all is well as it calls register_mem_sect_under_node from there with check_nid set to false. Without a node that function returns having not done the sysfs related stuff as there is no node to use. This is expected but it is the resulting path that fails... Exact path to the problem is as follows: mm/memory_hotplug.c: add_memory_resource() The node is not online so we enter the 'if (new_node)' twice, on the second such block there is a call to link_mem_sections which calls into drivers/node.c: link_mem_sections() which calls drivers/node.c: register_mem_sect_under_node() which calls get_nid_for_pfn and keeps trying until the output of that matches the expected node (passed all the way down from add_memory_resource) It is effectively the same fix as the one referred to in the fixes tag just in the code path for a new node where the comments point out we have to rerun the link creation because it will have failed in register_new_memory (as there was no node at the time). (actually that comment is wrong now as we don't have register_new_memory any more it got renamed to hotplug_memory_register in Pavel's patch).
