Motivation: Movable onlining is a real hack with many downsides - mainly reintroduction of lowmem/highmem issues we used to have on 32b systems - but it is the only way to make the memory hotremove more reliable which is something that people are asking for. The current semantic of memory movable onlinening is really cumbersome, however. The main reason for this is that the udev driven approach is basically unusable because udev races with the memory probing while only the last memory block or the one adjacent to the existing zone_movable are allowed to be onlined movable. In short the criterion for the successful online_movable changes under udev's feet. A reliable udev approach would require a 2 phase approach where the first successful movable online would have to check all the previous blocks and online them in descending order. This is hard to be considered sane. This patchset aims at making the onlining semantic more usable. First of all it allows to online memory movable as long as it doesn't clash with the existing ZONE_NORMAL. That means that ZONE_NORMAL and ZONE_MOVABLE cannot overlap. Currently I preserve the original ordering semantic so the zone always precedes the movable zone but I have plans to remove this restriction in future because it is not really necessary. The series consists of 4 cleanup patches which should be ready to be merged right away (unless I have missed something subtle of course). Patch 5 is the core of the change. In order to make it easier to review I have tried it to be as minimalistic as possible and the large code removal is moved to patch 6. I would appreciate if s390 folks could take a look at patch 4 and the arch_add_memory because I am not sure I've grokked what they wanted to achieve there completely. I have tested the patches in kvm: # qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -monitor pty -m 2G,slots=4,maxmem=4G -numa node,mem=1G -numa node,mem=1G ... and then probed the additional memory by (qemu) object_add memory-backend-ram,id=mem1,size=1G (qemu) device_add pc-dimm,id=dimm1,memdev=mem1 Then I have used this simple script to probe the memory block by hand # cat probe_memblock.sh #!/bin/sh BLOCK_NR=$1 echo $((0x100000000+$BLOCK_NR*(128<<20))) > /sys/devices/system/memory/probe # for i in $(seq 10); do sh probe_memblock.sh $i; done # grep . /sys/devices/system/memory/memory3?/valid_zones 2>/dev/null /sys/devices/system/memory/memory33/valid_zones:Normal Movable /sys/devices/system/memory/memory34/valid_zones:Normal Movable /sys/devices/system/memory/memory35/valid_zones:Normal Movable /sys/devices/system/memory/memory36/valid_zones:Normal Movable /sys/devices/system/memory/memory37/valid_zones:Normal Movable /sys/devices/system/memory/memory38/valid_zones:Normal Movable /sys/devices/system/memory/memory39/valid_zones:Normal Movable The main difference to the original implementation is that all new memblocks can be both online_kernel and online_movable initially because there is no clash obviously. For the comparison the original implementation would have /sys/devices/system/memory/memory33/valid_zones:Normal /sys/devices/system/memory/memory34/valid_zones:Normal /sys/devices/system/memory/memory35/valid_zones:Normal /sys/devices/system/memory/memory36/valid_zones:Normal /sys/devices/system/memory/memory37/valid_zones:Normal /sys/devices/system/memory/memory38/valid_zones:Normal /sys/devices/system/memory/memory39/valid_zones:Normal Movable Now # echo online_movable > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory34/state # grep . /sys/devices/system/memory/memory3?/valid_zones 2>/dev/null /sys/devices/system/memory/memory33/valid_zones:Normal Movable /sys/devices/system/memory/memory34/valid_zones:Movable /sys/devices/system/memory/memory35/valid_zones:Movable /sys/devices/system/memory/memory36/valid_zones:Movable /sys/devices/system/memory/memory37/valid_zones:Movable /sys/devices/system/memory/memory38/valid_zones:Movable /sys/devices/system/memory/memory39/valid_zones:Movable Block 33 can still be online both kernel and movable while all the remaining can be only movable. /proc/zonelist says Node 0, zone Normal pages free 0 min 0 low 0 high 0 spanned 0 present 0 -- Node 0, zone Movable pages free 32753 min 85 low 117 high 149 spanned 32768 present 32768 A new memblock at a lower address will result in a new memblock (32) which will still allow both Normal and Movable. # sh probe_memblock.sh 0 # grep . /sys/devices/system/memory/memory3[2-5]/valid_zones 2>/dev/null /sys/devices/system/memory/memory32/valid_zones:Normal Movable /sys/devices/system/memory/memory33/valid_zones:Normal Movable /sys/devices/system/memory/memory34/valid_zones:Movable /sys/devices/system/memory/memory35/valid_zones:Movable and online_kernel will convert it to the zone normal properly while 33 can be still onlined both ways. # echo online_kernel > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory32/state # grep . /sys/devices/system/memory/memory3[2-5]/valid_zones 2>/dev/null /sys/devices/system/memory/memory32/valid_zones:Normal /sys/devices/system/memory/memory33/valid_zones:Normal Movable /sys/devices/system/memory/memory34/valid_zones:Movable /sys/devices/system/memory/memory35/valid_zones:Movable /proc/zoneinfo will now tell Node 0, zone Normal pages free 65441 min 165 low 230 high 295 spanned 65536 present 65536 -- Node 0, zone Movable pages free 32740 min 82 low 114 high 146 spanned 32768 present 32768 so both zones have one memblock spanned and present. Onlining 39 should associate this block to the movable zone # echo online > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory39/state /proc/zoneinfo will now tell Node 0, zone Normal pages free 32765 min 80 low 112 high 144 spanned 32768 present 32768 -- Node 0, zone Movable pages free 65501 min 160 low 225 high 290 spanned 196608 present 65536 so we will have a movable zone which spans 6 memblocks, 2 present and 4 representing a hole. Offlining both movable blocks will lead to the zone with no present pages which is the expected behavior I believe. # echo offline > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory39/state # echo offline > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory34/state # grep -A6 "Movable\|Normal" /proc/zoneinfo Node 0, zone Normal pages free 32735 min 90 low 122 high 154 spanned 32768 present 32768 -- Node 0, zone Movable pages free 0 min 0 low 0 high 0 spanned 196608 present 0 Any thoughts, complains, suggestions?
