[PATCH] x86-64: configurable fake numa node sizes
Extends the numa=fake x86_64 command-line option to allow for configurable
node sizes. These nodes can be used in conjunction with cpusets for coarse
memory resource management.
The old command-line option is still supported:
numa=fake=32 gives 32 fake NUMA nodes, ignoring the NUMA setup of the
actual machine.
But now you may configure your system for the node sizes of your choice:
numa=fake=2*512,1024,2*256
gives two 512M nodes, one 1024M node, two 256M nodes, and
the rest of system memory to a sixth node.
The existing hash function is maintained to support the various node sizes
that are possible with this implementation.
Each node of the same size receives roughly the same amount of available
pages, regardless of any reserved memory with its address range. The total
available pages on the system is calculated and divided by the number of equal
nodes to allocate. These nodes are then dynamically allocated and their
borders extended until such time as their number of available pages reaches
the required size.
Configurable node sizes are recommended when used in conjunction with cpusets
for memory control because it eliminates the overhead associated with scanning
the zonelists of many smaller full nodes on page_alloc().
