Subject: [PATCH] mm: Only re-generate demotion targets when a numa node changes its N_CPU state
Date:   Wed,  9 Mar 2022 15:46:44 +0100

Abhishek reported that after patch [1], hotplug operations are
taking ~double the expected time. [2]

The reason behind is that the CPU callbacks that migrate_on_reclaim_init()
sets always call set_migration_target_nodes() whenever a CPU is brought
up/down.
But we only care about numa nodes going from having cpus to become
cpuless, and vice versa, as that influences the demotion_target order.

We do already have two CPU callbacks (vmstat_cpu_online() and vmstat_cpu_dead())
that check exactly that, so get rid of the CPU callbacks in
migrate_on_reclaim_init() and only call set_migration_target_nodes() from
vmstat_cpu_{dead,online}() whenever a numa node change its N_CPU state.

I think there is further room for improvement like should we call in to
set_migration_target_nodes() when demotion is disabled via sysctl?
I will have a look into that, but let us go with this quick fix for now.
Also, I am not really strong about the Fixes tag, but it can be added
if you think it makes sense.
