Subject: [PATCH v8 0/3] mm: use memmap_on_memory semantics for dax/kmem

The dax/kmem driver can potentially hot-add large amounts of memory
originating from CXL memory expanders, or NVDIMMs, or other 'device
memories'. There is a chance there isn't enough regular system memory
available to fit the memmap for this new memory. It's therefore
desirable, if all other conditions are met, for the kmem managed memory
to place its memmap on the newly added memory itself.

The main hurdle for accomplishing this for kmem is that memmap_on_memory
can only be done if the memory being added is equal to the size of one
memblock. To overcome this, allow the hotplug code to split an add_memory()
request into memblock-sized chunks, and try_remove_memory() to also
expect and handle such a scenario.

Patch 1 replaces an open-coded kmemdup()

Patch 2 teaches the memory_hotplug code to allow for splitting
add_memory() and remove_memory() requests over memblock sized chunks.

Patch 3 allows the dax region drivers to request memmap_on_memory
semantics. CXL dax regions default this to 'on', all others default to
off to keep existing behavior unchanged.

Changes in v8:
- Fix unwinding in create_altmaps_and_memory_blocks() to remove
partially added blocks and altmaps. (David, Ying)
- Simplify remove_memory_blocks_and_altmaps() since an altmap is
assured. (David)
- Since we remove per memory-block altmaps, the walk through memory
blocks for a larger range isn't needed. Instead we can lookup the
memory block directly from the pfn, allowing the test_has_altmap_cb()
callback to be dropped and removed. (David)
- Link to v7: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]

Changes in v7:
- Make the add_memory_resource() flow symmetrical w.r.t. try_remove_memory()
in terms of how the altmap path is taken (David Hildenbrand)
- Move a comment, clean up usage of 'memblock' vs. 'memory_block'
(David Hildenbrand)
- Don't use the altmap path for the mhp_supports_memmap_on_memory(memblock_size) == false
case (Huang Ying)
- Link to v6: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]

Changes in v6:
- Add a prep patch to replace an open coded kmemdup in
add_memory_resource() (Dan Williams)
- Fix ordering of firmware_map_remove w.r.t taking the hotplug lock
(David Hildenbrand)
- Remove unused 'nid' variable, and a stray whitespace (David Hildenbrand)
- Clean up and simplify the altmap vs non-altmap paths for
try_remove_memory (David Hildenbrand)
- Add a note to the changelog in patch 1 linking to the PUD mappings
proposal (David Hildenbrand)
- Remove the new sysfs ABI from the kmem/dax drivers until ABI
documentation for /sys/bus/dax can be established (will split this out
into a separate patchset) (Dan Williams)
- Link to v5: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]

Changes in v5:
- Separate out per-memblock operations from per memory block operations
in try_remove_memory(), and rename the inner function appropriately.
This does expand the scope of the memory hotplug lock to include
remove_memory_block_devices(), but the alternative was to drop the
lock in the inner function separately for each iteration, and then
re-acquire it in try_remove_memory() creating a small window where
the lock isn't held. (David Hildenbrand)
- Remove unnecessary rc check from the memmap_on_memory_store sysfs
helper in patch 2 (Dan Carpenter)
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]

Changes in v4:
- Rebase to Aneesh's PPC64 memmap_on_memory series v8 [2].
- Tweak a goto / error path in add_memory_create_devices() (Jonathan)
- Retain the old behavior for dax devices, only default to
memmap_on_memory for CXL (Jonathan)
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]

[2]: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/[email protected]

Changes in v3:
- Rebase on Aneesh's patches [1]
- Drop Patch 1 - it is not needed since [1] allows for dynamic setting
of the memmap_on_memory param (David)
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]

[1]: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]

Changes in v2:
- Drop the patch to create an override path for the memmap_on_memory
module param (David)
- Move the chunking into memory_hotplug.c so that any caller of
add_memory() can request this behavior. (David)
- Handle remove_memory() too. (David, Ying)
- Add a sysfs control in the kmem driver for memmap_on_memory semantics
(David, Jonathan)
- Add a #else case to define mhp_supports_memmap_on_memory() if
CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG is unset. (0day report)
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]

Subject: [PATCH v8 2/3] mm/memory_hotplug: split memmap_on_memory requests across memblocks

The MHP_MEMMAP_ON_MEMORY flag for hotplugged memory is restricted to
'memblock_size' chunks of memory being added. Adding a larger span of
memory precludes memmap_on_memory semantics.

For users of hotplug such as kmem, large amounts of memory might get
added from the CXL subsystem. In some cases, this amount may exceed the
available 'main memory' to store the memmap for the memory being added.
In this case, it is useful to have a way to place the memmap on the
memory being added, even if it means splitting the addition into
memblock-sized chunks.

Change add_memory_resource() to loop over memblock-sized chunks of
memory if caller requested memmap_on_memory, and if other conditions for
it are met. Teach try_remove_memory() to also expect that a memory
range being removed might have been split up into memblock sized chunks,
and to loop through those as needed.

This does preclude being able to use PUD mappings in the direct map; a
proposal to how this could be optimized in the future is laid out
here[1].

How about move arch_remove_memory() and kree() to error path and use
different label?

Hm, yes I suppose we want to clean up previous iterations of the loop -
I'll make this change.

I thought of this, but it got slightly awkward because of the scope of
'params' (declared/allocated within the loop), just kfree'ing in that
scope looked cleaner..

Nit:

continue;

As already spotted, we have to cleanup.

Nit: I think you can drop the inner parentheses.

Nit:

if (WARN_ON_ONCE(num_memblocks != num_altmaps))
return -EINVAL;

Should be sufficient.

Nit: Maybe better to just

if (rc < 0) {
mem_hotplug_done();
return rc
} else ...

And avoid the error label below. Makes the code easier to read.

Nit: else if (!rc)



With the cleanup fixed,

Is cur_start always aligned to memory_block_size_bytes? If not, the
above function will return directly, is that a issue?

Hi Fan,

Thanks for taking a look and the review (btw v9 is the latest revision
of these).

I think we're okay because the create side would've adding this memory
in the first place as it too does an alignment check for
memory_block_size_bytes.

Thanks
