memory hotplug: fix section info double registration bug

2012-09-17T22:00:38Z

There may be a bug when registering section info. For example, on my Itanium platform, the pfn range of node0 includes the other nodes, so other nodes' section info will be double registered, and memmap's page count will equal to 3. node0: start_pfn=0x100, spanned_pfn=0x20fb00, present_pfn=0x7f8a3, => 0x000100-0x20fc00 node1: start_pfn=0x80000, spanned_pfn=0x80000, present_pfn=0x80000, => 0x080000-0x100000 node2: start_pfn=0x100000, spanned_pfn=0x80000, present_pfn=0x80000, => 0x100000-0x180000 node3: start_pfn=0x180000, spanned_pfn=0x80000, present_pfn=0x80000, => 0x180000-0x200000 free_all_bootmem_node() register_page_bootmem_info_node() register_page_bootmem_info_section() When hot remove memory, we can't free the memmap's page because page_count() is 2 after put_page_bootmem(). sparse_remove_one_section() free_section_usemap() free_map_bootmem() put_page_bootmem() [akpm@linux-foundation.org: add code comment] Signed-off-by: Xishi Qiu Signed-off-by: Jiang Liu Acked-by: Mel Gorman Cc: "Luck, Tony" Cc: Yasuaki Ishimatsu Cc: Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

mm/hotplug: free zone->pageset when a zone becomes empty

2012-08-01T01:42:44Z

When a zone becomes empty after memory offlining, free zone->pageset. Otherwise it will cause memory leak when adding memory to the empty zone again because build_all_zonelists() will allocate zone->pageset for an empty zone.

mm/hotplug: correctly add new zone to all other nodes' zone lists

2012-08-01T01:42:44Z

When online_pages() is called to add new memory to an empty zone, it rebuilds all zone lists by calling build_all_zonelists(). But there's a bug which prevents the new zone to be added to other nodes' zone lists. online_pages() { build_all_zonelists() ..... node_set_state(zone_to_nid(zone), N_HIGH_MEMORY) } Here the node of the zone is put into N_HIGH_MEMORY state after calling build_all_zonelists(), but build_all_zonelists() only adds zones from nodes in N_HIGH_MEMORY state to the fallback zone lists. build_all_zonelists() ->__build_all_zonelists() ->build_zonelists() ->find_next_best_node() ->for_each_node_state(n, N_HIGH_MEMORY) So memory in the new zone will never be used by other nodes, and it may cause strange behavor when system is under memory pressure. So put node into N_HIGH_MEMORY state before calling build_all_zonelists().

mm/hotplug: correctly setup fallback zonelists when creating new pgdat

2012-08-01T01:42:44Z

When hotadd_new_pgdat() is called to create new pgdat for a new node, a fallback zonelist should be created for the new node. There's code to try to achieve that in hotadd_new_pgdat() as below: /* * The node we allocated has no zone fallback lists. For avoiding * to access not-initialized zonelist, build here. */ mutex_lock(&zonelists_mutex); build_all_zonelists(pgdat, NULL); mutex_unlock(&zonelists_mutex); But it doesn't work as expected. When hotadd_new_pgdat() is called, the new node is still in offline state because node_set_online(nid) hasn't been called yet. And build_all_zonelists() only builds zonelists for online nodes as: for_each_online_node(nid) { pg_data_t *pgdat = NODE_DATA(nid); build_zonelists(pgdat); build_zonelist_cache(pgdat); } Though we hope to create zonelist for the new pgdat, but it doesn't. So add a new parameter "pgdat" the build_all_zonelists() to build pgdat for the new pgdat too.

mm: print physical addresses consistently with other parts of kernel

2012-05-29T23:22:21Z

Print physical address info in a style consistent with the %pR style used elsewhere in the kernel. For example: -Zone PFN ranges: +Zone ranges: - DMA32 0x00000010 -> 0x00100000 + DMA32 [mem 0x00010000-0xffffffff] - Normal 0x00100000 -> 0x01080000 + Normal [mem 0x100000000-0x107fffffff] Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas Cc: Yinghai Lu Cc: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: "H.

mm: compaction: introduce sync-light migration for use by compaction

2012-01-13T04:13:09Z

This patch adds a lightweight sync migrate operation MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT mode that avoids writing back pages to backing storage. Async compaction maps to MIGRATE_ASYNC while sync compaction maps to MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT. For other migrate_pages users such as memory hotplug, MIGRATE_SYNC is used. This avoids sync compaction stalling for an excessive length of time, particularly when copying files to a USB stick where there might be a large number of dirty pages backed by a filesystem that does not support ->writepages.

The files changed within are only using the EXPORT_SYMBOL macro variants. They are not using core modular infrastructure and hence don't need module.h but only the export.h header. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

mm: extend memory hotplug API to allow memory hotplug in virtual machines

2011-07-26T03:57:08Z

This patch contains online_page_callback and apropriate functions for registering/unregistering online page callbacks. It allows to do some machine specific tasks during online page stage which is required to implement memory hotplug in virtual machines. Currently this patch is required by latest memory hotplug support for Xen balloon driver patch which will be posted soon. Additionally, originial online_page() function was splited into following functions doing "atomic" operations: - __online_page_set_limits() - set new limits for memory management code, - __online_page_increment_counters() - increment totalram_pages and totalhigh_pages, - __online_page_free() - free page to allocator. It was done to: - not duplicate existing code, - ease hotplug code devolpment by usage of well defined interface, - avoid stupid bugs which are unavoidable when the same code (by design) is developed in many places.
