Subject: [3/7, v9] NUMA Hotplug Emulator: Add node hotplug emulation

From: David Rientjes <[email protected]>

Add an interface to allow new nodes to be added when performing memory
hot-add. This provides a convenient interface to test memory hotplug
notifier callbacks and surrounding hotplug code when new nodes are
onlined without actually having a machine with such hotpluggable SRAT
entries.

This adds a new debugfs interface at /sys/kernel/debug/mem_hotplug/add_node
that behaves in a similar way to the memory hot-add "probe" interface.
Its format is size@start, where "size" is the size of the new node to be
added and "start" is the physical address of the new memory.

The new node id is a currently offline, but possible, node. The bit must
be set in node_possible_map so that nr_node_ids is sized appropriately.

For emulation on x86, for example, it would be possible to set aside
memory for hotplugged nodes (say, anything above 2G) and to add an
additional four nodes as being possible on boot with

mem=2G numa=possible=4

and then creating a new 128M node at runtime:

# echo 128M@0x80000000 > /sys/kernel/debug/mem_hotplug/add_node
On node 1 totalpages: 0
init_memory_mapping: 0000000080000000-0000000088000000
0080000000 - 0088000000 page 2M
Once the new node has been added, its memory can be onlined. If this
memory represents memory section 16, for example:

# echo online > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory16/state
Built 2 zonelists in Node order, mobility grouping on. Total pages: 514846
Policy zone: Normal
[ The memory section(s) mapped to a particular node are visible via
/sys/kernel/debug/mem_hotplug/node1, in this example. ]

The new node is now hotplugged and ready for testing.

This will cause the write to return a smaller number than `count': a
short write. Some userspace code may then decide to write the
remainder of the data (whcih is the correct way to use the write()
syscall).

Could be a bit dangerous, and perhaps simply declaring an error if too
much data was written would be a better approach.

PAGES_PER_SECTION has type unsigned long, so the rhs of this comparison
might overflow on 32-bit, should anyone ever try to use this code on
32-bit.

otoh the compiler might do it as 64-bit because the lhs is 64-bit. Not
sure.

We traditionally haven't been using NODEMASK_ALLOC() in sysfs (or, in this
case, debugfs) functions because they're never deep in a call chain. Even
for 4K node support, which isn't a supported config on any arch that
allows CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG, this would only be 512 bytes on the short
stack.

I agree with the remainder of the points in your review and will be
sending fixes against -mm, thanks!

I bet linux-2.6.227 supports a meganode.

Subject: [patch] mm: add node hotplug emulation

Add an interface to allow new nodes to be added when performing memory
hot-add. This provides a convenient interface to test memory hotplug
notifier callbacks and surrounding hotplug code when new nodes are
onlined without actually having a machine with such hotpluggable SRAT
entries.

This adds a new debugfs interface at /sys/kernel/debug/hotplug/add_node
that behaves in a similar way to the memory hot-add "probe" interface.
Its format is size@start, where "size" is the size of the new node to be
added and "start" is the physical address of the new memory.

The new node id is a currently offline, but possible, node. The bit must
be set in node_possible_map so that nr_node_ids is sized appropriately.

For emulation on x86, for example, it would be possible to set aside
memory for hotplugged nodes (say, anything above 2G) and to add an
additional four nodes as being possible on boot with

mem=2G numa=possible=4

and then creating a new 128M node at runtime:

# echo 128M@0x80000000 > /sys/kernel/debug/hotplug/add_node
On node 1 totalpages: 0
init_memory_mapping: 0000000080000000-0000000088000000
0080000000 - 0088000000 page 2M

Once the new node has been added, its memory can be onlined. If this
memory represents memory section 16, for example:

# echo online > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory16/state
Built 2 zonelists in Node order, mobility grouping on. Total pages: 514846
Policy zone: Normal

[ The memory section(s) mapped to a particular node are visible via
/sys/devices/system/node/node1, in this example. ]

The new node is now hotplugged and ready for testing.

Shaohui, I'll reply to this message with an updated version of this patch
to address Andrew's comments. You can merge it into your series or Andrew
can take it seperately (although it doesn't do much good without "x86: add
numa=possible command line option" unless you have hotpluggable SRAT
entries and CONFIG_ACPI_NUMA).

Okay, thanks David. I will merge it into my series when I send next version.

Thanks & Regards,
