      mm: track present early pages per zone · 4b097002
      David Hildenbrand authored
      Patch series "mm/memory_hotplug: "auto-movable" online policy and memory groups", v3.
      
      I. Goal
      
      The goal of this series is improving in-kernel auto-online support.  It
      tackles the fundamental problems that:
      
       1) We can create zone imbalances when onlining all memory blindly to
          ZONE_MOVABLE, in the worst case crashing the system. We have to know
          upfront how much memory we are going to hotplug such that we can
          safely enable auto-onlining of all hotplugged memory to ZONE_MOVABLE
          via "online_movable". This is far from practical and only applicable in
          limited setups -- like inside VMs under the RHV/oVirt hypervisor which
          will never hotplug more than 3 times the boot memory (and the
          limitation is only in place due to the Linux limitation).
      
       2) We see more setups that implement dynamic VM resizing, hot(un)plugging
          memory to resize VM memory. In these setups, we might hotplug a lot of
          memory, but it might happen in various small steps in both directions
          (e.g., 2 GiB -> 8 GiB -> 4 GiB -> 16 GiB ...). virtio-mem is the
          primary driver of this upstream right now, performing such dynamic
          resizing NUMA-aware via multiple virtio-mem devices.
      
          Onlining all hotplugged memory to ZONE_NORMAL means we basically have
          no hotunplug guarantees. Onlining all to ZONE_MOVABLE means we can
          easily run into zone imbalances when growing a VM. We want a mixture,
          and we want as much memory as reasonable/configured in ZONE_MOVABLE.
          Details regarding zone imbalances can be found at [1].
      
       3) Memory devices consist of 1..X memory block devices, however, the
          kernel doesn't really track the relationship. Consequently, also user
          space has no idea. We want to make per-device decisions.
      
          As one example, for memory hotunplug it doesn't make sense to use a
          mixture of zones within a single DIMM: we want all MOVABLE if
          possible, otherwise all !MOVABLE, because any !MOVABLE part will easily
          block the whole DIMM from getting hotunplugged.
      
          As another example, virtio-mem operates on individual units that span
          1..X memory blocks. Similar to a DIMM, we want a unit to either be all
          MOVABLE or !MOVABLE. A "unit" can be thought of like a DIMM, however,
          all units of a virtio-mem device logically belong together and are
          managed (added/removed) by a single driver. We want as much memory of
          a virtio-mem device to be MOVABLE as possible.
      
       4) We want memory onlining to be done right from the kernel while adding
          memory, not triggered by user space via udev rules; for example, this
          is reqired for fast memory hotplug for drivers that add individual
          memory blocks, like virito-mem. We want a way to configure a policy in
          the kernel and avoid implementing advanced policies in user space.
      
      The auto-onlining support we have in the kernel is not sufficient.  All we
      have is a) online everything MOVABLE (online_movable) b) online everything
      !MOVABLE (online_kernel) c) keep zones contiguous (online).  This series
      allows configuring c) to mean instead "online movable if possible
      according to the coniguration, driven by a maximum MOVABLE:KERNEL ratio"
      -- a new onlining policy.
      
      II. Approach
      
      This series does 3 things:
      
       1) Introduces the "auto-movable" online policy that initially operates on
          individual memory blocks only. It uses a maximum MOVABLE:KERNEL ratio
          to make a decision whether a memory block will be onlined to
          ZONE_MOVABLE or not. However, in the basic form, hotplugged KERNEL
          memory does not allow for more MOVABLE memory (details in the
          patches). CMA memory is treated like MOVABLE memory.
      
       2) Introduces static (e.g., DIMM) and dynamic (e.g., virtio-mem) memory
          groups and uses group information to make decisions in the
          "auto-movable" online policy across memory blocks of a single memory
          device (modeled as memory group). More details can be found in patch
          #3 or in the DIMM example below.
      
       3) Maximizes ZONE_MOVABLE memory within dynamic memory groups, by
          allowing ZONE_NORMAL memory within a dynamic memory group to allow for
          more ZONE_MOVABLE memory within the same memory group. The target use
          case is dynamic VM resizing using virtio-mem. See the virtio-mem
          example below.
      
      I remember that the basic idea of using a ratio to implement a policy in
      the kernel was once mentioned by Vitaly Kuznetsov, but I might be wrong (I
      lost the pointer to that discussion).
      
      For me, the main use case is using it along with virtio-mem (and DIMMs /
      ppc64 dlpar where necessary) for dynamic resizing of VMs, increasing the
      amount of memory we can hotunplug reliably again if we might eventually
      hotplug a lot of memory to a VM.
      
      III. Target Usage
      
      The target usage will be:
      
       1) Linux boots with "mhp_default_online_type=offline"
      
       2) User space (e.g., systemd unit) configures memory onlining (according
          to a config file and system properties), for example:
          * Setting memory_hotplug.online_policy=auto-movable
          * Setting memory_hotplug.auto_movable_ratio=301
          * Setting memory_hotplug.auto_movable_numa_aware=true
      
       3) User space enabled auto onlining via "echo online >
          /sys/devices/system/memory/auto_online_blocks"
      
       4) User space triggers manual onlining of all already-offline memory
          blocks (go over offline memory blocks and set them to "online")
      
      IV. Example
      
      For DIMMs, hotplugging 4 GiB DIMMs to a 4 GiB VM with a configured ratio of
      301% results in the following layout:
      	Memory block 0-15:    DMA32   (early)
      	Memory block 32-47:   Normal  (early)
      	Memory block 48-79:   Movable (DIMM 0)
      	Memory block 80-111:  Movable (DIMM 1)
      	Memory block 112-143: Movable (DIMM 2)
      	Memory block 144-275: Normal  (DIMM 3)
      	Memory block 176-207: Normal  (DIMM 4)
      	... all Normal
      	(-> hotplugged Normal memory does not allow for more Movable memory)
      
      For virtio-mem, using a simple, single virtio-mem device with a 4 GiB VM
      will result in the following layout:
      	Memory block 0-15:    DMA32   (early)
      	Memory block 32-47:   Normal  (early)
      	Memory block 48-143:  Movable (virtio-mem, first 12 GiB)
      	Memory block 144:     Normal  (virtio-mem, next 128 MiB)
      	Memory block 145-147: Movable (virtio-mem, next 384 MiB)
      	Memory block 148:     Normal  (virtio-mem, next 128 MiB)
      	Memory block 149-151: Movable (virtio-mem, next 384 MiB)
      	... Normal/Movable mixture as above
      	(-> hotplugged Normal memory allows for more Movable memory within
      	    the same device)
      
      Which gives us maximum flexibility when dynamically growing/shrinking a
      VM in smaller steps.
      
      V. Doc Update
      
      I'll update the memory-hotplug.rst documentation, once the overhaul [1] is
      usptream. Until then, details can be found in patch #2.
      
      VI. Future Work
      
       1) Use memory groups for ppc64 dlpar
       2) Being able to specify a portion of (early) kernel memory that will be
          excluded from the ratio. Like "128 MiB globally/per node" are excluded.
      
          This might be helpful when starting VMs with extremely small memory
          footprint (e.g., 128 MiB) and hotplugging memory later -- not wanting
          the first hotplugged units getting onlined to ZONE_MOVABLE. One
          alternative would be a trigger to not consider ZONE_DMA memory
          in the ratio. We'll have to see if this is really rrequired.
       3) Indicate to user space that MOVABLE might be a bad idea -- especially
          relevant when memory ballooning without support for balloon compaction
          is active.
      
      This patch (of 9):
      
      For implementing a new memory onlining policy, which determines when to
      online memory blocks to ZONE_MOVABLE semi-automatically, we need the
      number of present early (boot) pages -- present pages excluding hotplugged
      pages.  Let's track these pages per zone.
      
      Pass a page instead of the zone to adjust_present_page_count(), similar as
      adjust_managed_page_count() and derive the zone from the page.
      
      It's worth noting that a memory block to be offlined/onlined is either
      completely "early" or "not early".  add_memory() and friends can only add
      complete memory blocks and we only online/offline complete (individual)
      memory blocks.

      mm/memory_hotplug: remove nid parameter from remove_memory() and friends · e1c158e4
      David Hildenbrand authored
      There is only a single user remaining.  We can simply lookup the nid only
      used for node offlining purposes when walking our memory blocks.  We don't
      expect to remove multi-nid ranges; and if we'd ever do, we most probably
      don't care about removing multi-nid ranges that actually result in empty
      nodes.
      
      If ever required, we can detect the "multi-nid" scenario and simply try
      offlining all online nodes.

      mm/memory_hotplug: use "unsigned long" for PFN in zone_for_pfn_range() · 7cf209ba
      David Hildenbrand authored
      Patch series "mm/memory_hotplug: preparatory patches for new online policy and memory"
      
      These are all cleanups and one fix previously sent as part of [1]:
      [PATCH v1 00/12] mm/memory_hotplug: "auto-movable" online policy and memory
      groups.
      
      These patches make sense even without the other series, therefore I pulled
      them out to make the other series easier to digest.
      
      [1] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210607195430.48228-1-david@redhat.com
      
      This patch (of 4):
      
      Checkpatch complained on a follow-up patch that we are using "unsigned"
      here, which defaults to "unsigned int" and checkpatch is correct.
      
      As we will search for a fitting zone using the wrong pfn, we might end
      up onlining memory to one of the special kernel zones, such as ZONE_DMA,
      which can end badly as the onlined memory does not satisfy properties of
      these zones.
      
      Use "unsigned long" instead, just as we do in other places when handling
      PFNs.  This can bite us once we have physical addresses in the range of
      multiple TB.

      mm: memory_hotplug: cleanup after removal of pfn_valid_within() · 673d40c8
      Mike Rapoport authored
      When test_pages_in_a_zone() used pfn_valid_within() is has some logic
      surrounding pfn_valid_within() checks.
      
      Since pfn_valid_within() is gone, this logic can be removed.

      mm: remove pfn_valid_within() and CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE · 859a85dd
      Mike Rapoport authored
      Patch series "mm: remove pfn_valid_within() and CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE".
      
      After recent updates to freeing unused parts of the memory map, no
      architecture can have holes in the memory map within a pageblock.  This
      makes pfn_valid_within() check and CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE configuration
      option redundant.
      
      The first patch removes them both in a mechanical way and the second patch
      simplifies memory_hotplug::test_pages_in_a_zone() that had
      pfn_valid_within() surrounded by more logic than simple if.
      
      This patch (of 2):
      
      After recent changes in freeing of the unused parts of the memory map and
      rework of pfn_valid() in arm and arm64 there are no architectures that can
      have holes in the memory map within a pageblock and so nothing can enable
      CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE which guards non trivial implementation of
      pfn_valid_within().
      
      With that, pfn_valid_within() is always hardwired to 1 and can be
      completely removed.
      
      Remove calls to pfn_valid_within() and CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE.

      memory-hotplug.rst: complete admin-guide overhaul · ac3332c4
      David Hildenbrand authored
      The memory hot(un)plug documentation is outdated and incomplete.  Most of
      the content dates back to 2007, so it's time for a major overhaul.
      
      Let's rewrite, reorganize and update most parts of the documentation.  In
      addition to memory hot(un)plug, also add some details regarding
      ZONE_MOVABLE, with memory hotunplug being one of its main consumers.
      
      Drop the file history, that information can more reliably be had from the
      git log.
      
      The style of the document is also properly fixed that e.g., "restview"
      renders it cleanly now.
      
      In the future, we might add some more details about virt users like
      virtio-mem, the XEN balloon, the Hyper-V balloon and ppc64 dlpar.

      Patch series "memory-hotplug.rst: complete admin-guide overhaul", v3.
      
      This patch (of 2):
      
      We have the same content at Documentation/core-api/memory-hotplug.rst and
      it doesn't fit into the admin-guide.  The documentation was accidentially
      duplicated when merging.
