Memory hotplug: Move alternative function definitions to header

2013-06-01T20:24:07+00:00

Move the definitions of offline_pages() and remove_memory() for CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE to memory_hotplug.h, where they belong, and make them static inline. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

Memory hotplug / ACPI: Simplify memory removal

2013-06-01T19:37:10+00:00

Now that the memory offlining should be taken care of by the companion device offlining code in acpi_scan_hot_remove(), the ACPI memory hotplug driver doesn't need to offline it in remove_memory() any more. Moreover, since the return value of remove_memory() is not used, it's better to make it be a void function and trigger a BUG() if the memory scheduled for removal is not offline. Change the code in accordance with the above observations. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki Reviewed-by: Toshi Kani

Driver core / MM: Drop offline_memory_block()

2013-06-01T19:37:10+00:00

Since offline_memory_block(mem) is functionally equivalent to device_offline(&mem->dev), make the only caller of the former use the latter instead and drop offline_memory_block() entirely. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Acked-by: Toshi Kani

ACPI / memhotplug: Bind removable memory blocks to ACPI device nodes

2013-05-12T12:14:38+00:00

During ACPI memory hotplug configuration bind memory blocks residing in modules removable through the standard ACPI mechanism to struct acpi_device objects associated with ACPI namespace objects representing those modules. Accordingly, unbind those memory blocks from the struct acpi_device objects when the memory modules in question are being removed. When "offline" operation for devices representing memory blocks is introduced, this will allow the ACPI core's device hot-remove code to use it to carry out remove_memory() for those memory blocks and check the results of that before it actually removes the modules holding them from the system. Since walk_memory_range() is used for accessing all memory blocks corresponding to a given ACPI namespace object, it is exported from memory_hotplug.c so that the code in acpi_memhotplug.c can use it.

mm, hotplug: avoid compiling memory hotremove functions when disabled

2013-04-29T22:54:37+00:00

__remove_pages() is only necessary for CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE. PowerPC pseries will return -EOPNOTSUPP if unsupported. Adding an #ifdef causes several other functions it depends on to also become unnecessary, which saves in .text when disabled (it's disabled in most defconfigs besides powerpc, including x86). remove_memory_block() becomes static since it is not referenced outside of drivers/base/memory.c. Build tested on x86 and powerpc with CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE both enabled and disabled.

memory-hotplug: export the function try_offline_node()

2013-02-24T01:50:13+00:00

try_offline_node() will be needed in the tristate drivers/acpi/processor_driver.c. The node will be offlined when all memory/cpu on the node have been hotremoved. So we need the function try_offline_node() in cpu-hotplug path. If the memory-hotplug is disabled, and cpu-hotplug is enabled 1. no memory no the node we don't online the node, and cpu's node is the nearest node. 2. the node contains some memory the node has been onlined, and cpu's node is still needed to migrate the sleep task on the cpu to the same node. So we do nothing in try_offline_node() in this case.

memory-hotplug: implement register_page_bootmem_info_section of sparse-vmemmap

2013-02-24T01:50:12+00:00

For removing memmap region of sparse-vmemmap which is allocated bootmem, memmap region of sparse-vmemmap needs to be registered by get_page_bootmem(). So the patch searches pages of virtual mapping and registers the pages by get_page_bootmem(). NOTE: register_page_bootmem_memmap() is not implemented for ia64, ppc, s390, and sparc. So introduce CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE and revert register_page_bootmem_info_node() when platform doesn't support it. It's implemented by adding a new Kconfig option named CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE, which will be automatically selected by memory-hotplug feature fully supported archs(currently only on x86_64). Since we have 2 config options called MEMORY_HOTPLUG and MEMORY_HOTREMOVE used for memory hot-add and hot-remove separately, and codes in function register_page_bootmem_info_node() are only used for collecting infomation for hot-remove, so reside it under MEMORY_HOTREMOVE. Besides page_isolation.c selected by MEMORY_ISOLATION under MEMORY_HOTPLUG is also such case, move it too.

memory-hotplug: introduce new arch_remove_memory() for removing page table

2013-02-24T01:50:12+00:00

For removing memory, we need to remove page tables. But it depends on architecture. So the patch introduce arch_remove_memory() for removing page table. Now it only calls __remove_pages(). Note: __remove_pages() for some archtecuture is not implemented (I don't know how to implement it for s390).

memory-hotplug: check whether all memory blocks are offlined or not when removing memory

2013-02-24T01:50:11+00:00

We remove the memory like this: 1. lock memory hotplug 2. offline a memory block 3. unlock memory hotplug 4. repeat 1-3 to offline all memory blocks 5. lock memory hotplug 6. remove memory(TODO) 7. unlock memory hotplug All memory blocks must be offlined before removing memory. But we don't hold the lock in the whole operation. So we should check whether all memory blocks are offlined before step6. Otherwise, kernel maybe panicked. Offlining a memory block and removing a memory device can be two different operations. Users can just offline some memory blocks without removing the memory device. For this purpose, the kernel has held lock_memory_hotplug() in __offline_pages(). To reuse the code for memory hot-remove, we repeat step 1-3 to offline all the memory blocks, repeatedly lock and unlock memory hotplug, but not hold the memory hotplug lock in the whole operation.
